Recently inducted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame, former quarterback Tom Brady took to Instagram on Father’s Day to express his gratitude and love for his father, Tom Brady Sr., and his three children, Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian.
In a touching tribute, the 46-year-old celebrated the profound influence his father has had on his life and the immense joy brought to him through fatherhood.
“Happy Fathers Day to my HERO, and the best role model I could have ever asked for,” Brady lauded his father, Tom Sr., recognizing him as his greatest hero and role model. The post not only honored his father but also extended thanks to his children, encapsulating the deep fulfillment fatherhood has brought him: “And THANK YOU, to these kids for giving me the gift of being a father, a joy that I could have never imagined until you came into my life.”

Brady’s message reflected his hope to pass on the same unconditional love and support he received from his own father to his children. The heartfelt Instagram post was beautifully illustrated with photos of Brady with his children, and memorable images with his father and mother, Galynn.
Brady has three children with two different partners. He shares his oldest son, Jack, with former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, and co-parents his younger children, Benjamin and Vivian, with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, from whom he separated in 2022.
The occasion was made even more special as it followed closely on the heels of Brady’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony held in Foxborough on Wednesday.
Dressed in a red jacket, emblematic of the Patriots’ honor, Brady stood in front of his children and a crowd of fans, expressing his adoration for his children during his speech: “Your dad loves you more than anything in this world,” he declared, adding, “There’s no greater joy than watching the three of you grow and teach me things on your way to becoming incredible young adults.”
Renowned for his extraordinary two-decade-long career with the New England Patriots, which was adorned with six Super Bowl titles, Brady retired from professional football in 2023.
He is now transitioning to a new phase in his career, preparing for a role in the broadcast booth this year, marking another chapter in his storied life both on and off the field.
