NFL legend Tom Brady has shared a heartwarming festive message with his followers while enjoying a sun-drenched family holiday in the Bahamas with his three children.
A Brady Family Christmas Celebration
The retired quarterback, 48, posted a picture on Christmas Day of himself with his three children aboard a boat. He captioned the image, "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Sending our love always... the Bradys." The holiday gathering included his 18-year-old son Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan, and his two children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen: 13-year-old Vivian and 16-year-old Benjamin.
Brady also showcased a personalised gift from his children, whom he affectionately called his 'angels'. The present was inscribed with the message: 'Merry Christmas to the Best Dad! We love you.' The family trip included a round of golf on Christmas Eve at the exclusive Bakers Bay Golf and Ocean Club, where Brady was pictured topless playing alongside his eldest son, Jack.
Moving Forward with Maturity
This intimate family holiday comes shortly after news broke that Brady's ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, secretly married her fiancé, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The ceremony took place on December 3, three years after her split from the NFL icon, and followed the recent birth of their first child together.
Sources close to the situation confirm that Brady was aware of the wedding plans. "It wasn't a secret to him," an insider told the Daily Mail. "They still have to talk because of the kids, and important milestones like her getting married was something she wasn't going to keep secret."
The insider emphasised Brady's mature and supportive stance, stating he is taking the news 'in stride' and remains focused on co-parenting. "He's happy in a way that is simple: he's happy that she is happy," the source added. "Down the line he might get married again and he would want her to be OK with that, so he has to be OK about it."
A Focus on Family and Future
The source elaborated on Brady's perspective, noting that any upset would be counterproductive. "If he was upset, that would mean he still has feelings for her and that it would be unfair to the kids if he didn't want to see their mom happy and move on," they explained.
They praised the seven-time Super Bowl champion's handling of the situation, highlighting his personal growth. "He's had to move on from two different important relationships, and two mothers to his children. He's learned a lot along the way, and he's taking this next stage in stride. He's being very mature about it and not letting it pick at him negatively in any way."
Concluding on a positive note, the insider summed up the festive spirit: "It's life, and everyone is happy. It's the holiday season, he's not inviting any drama where there doesn't have to be." Brady's Bahamas getaway with his children appears to be a testament to this peaceful, family-focused new chapter.
