Tom Brady welcomed in 2025 surrounded by his children.
On Wednesday, Jan. 1, the NFL icon, 47, shared photos from his New Year’s celebrations with his son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 17, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, and his two kids Vivian Lake, 12, and Benjamin Rein, 14, with ex Gisele Bündchen, on Instagram.
In the post, the former footballer gushed about his three kids as he reflected on 2024 and looked to the new year ahead.
“I couldn’t have imagined a better way to ring in the new year than with the loves of my life,” his caption began. “Reflecting on last year and thinking about the year ahead, there’s no better perspective than looking at these three and always trying to be better for them each day, and helping to guide them in whatever way possible.”

In the first photo from the carousel, Brady’s children looked all grown up as he posed alongside them and wrapped his arms around Vivian. The photo was followed by two snaps of the siblings sweetly posing together and enjoying a laugh, along with individual shots of the former New England Patriots quarterback with each of his kids.
“I’m so blessed to have joy and gratitude in my life,” he continued in the caption. “No year ever goes exactly the way we want, but when I think about 2024, I could not have imagined anything better. So many new experiences that I got to share with amazing people, especially the three beautiful angels in these photos.”
“I wish you all a happy healthy 2025, and as I tell so many of my loved ones, ‘the best is yet to come!’❤️❤️❤️,” he concluded the post, which also included some sunset shots, a snap of Vivian in the ocean and a selfie of the pair on a golf cart.
Last month, Brady shared a series of photos on his Instagram as he took a moment to honor his only daughter on her 12th birthday. In one photo, Vivian was shown from the side, smiling as she posed near an ocean.
The proud dad also included a photo of the two of them in Paris, France, during the 2024 Olympics, smiling by the Eiffel Tower. There was also a throwback photo of baby Vivian, as well as pictures from the family’s trip to a tropical island.

“Happy 12th birthday to my forever baby girl. Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life,” Brady sweetly wrote in his caption. “Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life!”
“Here’s to a great day filled with all the laughter and love that you deserve. I love you infinity x infinity!!! ❤️❤️❤️,” he added.
In November, the dad of three shared a photo of his three children on his Instagram Stories as his family celebrated Thanksgiving on Nov. 28.
“Thankful for this crew ❤️,” Brady wrote in a short caption to the photo. “Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.” In the photo, the three siblings smiled together, as Benjamin and Jack towered over Vivian.
Brady, who often speaks about his children, took the time to gush over his son Jack on DeepCut with VicBlends in April.
“I mean my oldest son, Jack, he’s an amazing young man. Straight As. Handles himself so well in groups of people and I see him and he’s 16, and I’m like how are you so mature,” Brady said at the time. “[He] lives in New York City, puts his heart and soul into everything he does. I mean he just, he blows me away with who he is.”
