Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are mourning the death of their family dog Lulu.
“Our little Lulu, our guardian angel has gone to heaven. She will live in our hearts forever. We already miss her sooooo much! #bezuvjetnaljubav RIPLua 💔,” Bündchen wrote in an Instagram post in English and Portuguese on Saturday. The post featured a carousel of photos of Lulu with their two children together, Benjamin Rein, 14, and Vivian Lake, 11.
Brady also posted a tribute to the dog on his Instagram Story on Saturday. “We love you Lu, RIP,” he captioned one photo of the dog with his children. He captioned the pup’s solo snap, “Forever in our hearts,” adding a heart emoji.

The last video in his Story appeared showing Vivian snuggling with Lulu and another dog.
Bündchen and Brady — who divorced in 2022 — adopted a pit bull mix during their marriage, and Lulu has been a prominent member of the family for years. Brady regularly posted about her on social media, and the dog even played with him on the beach in his 2014 Ugg Australia ad.

In September, the model opened up to PEOPLE about life after her divorce from Brady.
“It was very difficult for my family. It was a lot – in every area of my life,” she said. “With all the different twists and turns that life brings, all we can do is the best we can, given what’s going on around us.”

Bündchen recently settled in Miami with her children, where one of Vivian’s pets is a new horse.
“Now she’s already trying to get other horses. She’s already like, ‘Mom. They told me I have to get a new horse to jump higher.’ I say, ‘You’re 10 years old, calm down,'” she said.
