NFL superstar Tom Brady celebrated Mother's Day by sharing a touching social media post honoring the influential women in his life, including his mother, sisters, and the mothers of his children.
Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, took to Instagram on Sunday morning to express his profound gratitude for the remarkable women who have played pivotal roles in his journey. In a heartfelt slideshow of images, Brady honored his mother, his sisters, and the mothers of his children—Bridget Moynahan, the mother of his eldest son, and Gisele Bündchen, the mother of his two younger children.
"Happy Mothers Day to these kind, caring, compassionate and POWERFUL moms that I’m lucky to have in my life," Brady wrote in his heartfelt post. "None of this would be possible without your love."
Brady's acknowledgement of Moynahan and Bündchen in his Mother's Day tribute comes just a week after he was the subject of a Netflix roast where comedians poked fun at his relationships with both women. The two women themselves were also the targets of several jokes during the roast.
Moynahan, who dated Brady for nearly three years, responded to the roast with a cryptic message of her own: "Loyal people take s--- more personal because they never would’ve did that s--- to you."
Sources close to Bündchen reportedly revealed that she was "deeply disappointed" with the jokes made about her during the roast, and that their two children were also negatively affected by the comments. Brady is said to have apologized to Bündchen for the hurtful remarks.
Despite the recent controversy, Brady's Mother's Day post underscores the deep appreciation he holds for the mothers in his life. The slideshow featured candid moments with his children and their mothers, highlighting the unbreakable bond they share.
Brady's mother, Galynn, has been a constant source of support throughout his career. She has often spoken about her immense pride in her son and his accomplishments on and off the field.
"He's always been a leader," Galynn said in an interview. "He always had that drive to be the best at whatever he did."
Brady's sisters, Nancy, Julie, and Maureen, have also been instrumental in shaping his character. They have provided him with unwavering love and encouragement, and have been there for him through both triumphs and setbacks.
"My sisters are my best friends," Brady said. "They're always there for me, no matter what."
Bridget Moynahan, the actress and model, shares a son with Brady. Despite their brief relationship, Moynahan has remained an important figure in Brady's life and has supported his journey as an athlete and a father.
Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel, is the mother of Brady's two younger children. Bündchen has been a fiercely protective and supportive partner to Brady throughout his career, and has been a vocal advocate for health and wellness.
"Gisele is my rock," Brady has said. "She's the most amazing wife and mother I could ever ask for."
Brady's Mother's Day tribute is a testament to the transformative power of women in his life. From his mother to his sisters, and from the mothers of his children, Brady has been surrounded by extraordinary women who have helped him become the man and athlete he is today.
