Tom Brady and his 13-year-old daughter Vivian were filmed engaging in a highly competitive volleyball practice in their garden over the weekend, showcasing their impressive athletic abilities in a video that quickly gained attention on social media. The seven-time Super Bowl champion shared the clip on Instagram on Monday, highlighting a series of intense rallies that took place at night in what appears to be the lush garden of Brady's luxurious $150 million Miami mansion.
A Father-Daughter Athletic Showdown
In the video, Brady captioned the moment as 'Saturday nights with my future Olympian,' adding humorously, 'I think I finally found someone who likes practice more than I did.' The former New England Patriots quarterback opted to go shirtless for the workout, revealing his famously ripped torso for the cameras, while Vivian proved she is every bit as athletic as her legendary father. Even their family dog made a brief appearance during one of the rallies, trying to join in on the action.
Celebrity Reactions and Family Time
The video caught the eye of football icon David Beckham, who commented, 'You met your match and some,' acknowledging the competitive spirit between father and daughter. Brady, who is currently on a break from his commentary role with Fox, has been spending quality time with his three children: Jack, 18, Benjamin Rein, 16, and Vivian, 13. This volleyball session with Vivian, whom he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, comes at the start of a busy week for Brady and his NFL team, the Las Vegas Raiders.
Upcoming NFL Draft and Personal Life
The Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, which begins on Thursday night in Pittsburgh, with Brady and GM John Spytek widely expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Meanwhile, Brady's personal life has also been in the spotlight, as earlier this month, he was spotted out with his dog, Junie, five months after revealing that she is a clone of his beloved pit bull mix, Lua, who died two years earlier.
In a press release obtained by People, Brady explained his decision to clone Lua, stating, 'They mean the world to me and my family. A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family's dog before she passed.' This resulted in Brady and his children getting a 'second chance with a clone of our beloved dog.' However, the admission drew mixed responses online, with figures like Dave Portnoy labeling the move as 'weird.'
Brady and Bundchen, who adopted Lua in 2014 along with other pets, have since divorced, but Brady continues to share moments like these with his children, blending family time with his enduring passion for sports and competition.
