Tom Brady Celebrates Ex Gisele Bündchen on Mother's Day After Netflix Roast Drama

Tom Brady celebrates the moms in his life!

The retired NFL star, 46, paid tribute to ex Gisele Bündchen in a post she shared on Instagram on Sunday, May 12, shortly after they joked about the couple’s marriage during a Super Bowl champion roast on Netflix earlier this month.

Brady also paid tribute to the other moms in his life, including his own, as well as Bridget Moynahan, with whom he shares his oldest child, son Jack. (He and Bünchen have two children — daughter Vivian, 11, and son Benjamin, 14.)

“Happy Mother’s Day to these kind, caring, compassionate and POWERFUL moms I’m lucky to have in my life,” the athlete wrote. “None of this would be possible without your love ❤️❤️❤️.”

Among the photos included were some of Brady’s moms with their grandchildren, Brady with his sisters, and photos of his exes with their children.

Bündchen, for her part, marked the annual spring holiday by paying tribute to her mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher, who died on January 28 at the age of 75.

“It’s still hard to say ‘mom’ without getting emotional. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss my mom,” the supermodel captioned her post. “My mother was an amazing human being who always helped everyone around her. She was an amazing role model for my sisters and me. She was strong, loving and compassionate.”

“There was nothing she could do. She said, ‘Kids are forever. You’ll always be worried and want to protect them, no matter their age’. Being a mom is the best, sometimes challenging but always rewarding experience,” Bündchen continued. “I am forever grateful for my mother’s guidance.”

She concluded: “Mom, even though I can no longer feel your hug, I know that you are always watching over our family and that you are our guiding light! Te amo mãezinha. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms. Sending you so much love ❤️.”

After her mother’s death, Bündchen reflected candidly on what their relationship meant to her.

“Dear mom, it hurts me to know that I won’t be able to hug you anymore, but I know that you will always protect us. You were an angel on earth, you always helped everyone around you,” she wrote on Instagram in Portuguese and English.

“I am so grateful to be your daughter and to have learned from you. Thank you for being the best role model of love, strength, compassion, courage and grace,” Bündchen continued, “I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and you will live forever through the many lives you touched. Your love will always guide you.”

In March, the model spoke with Tonight’s show host Jimmy Fallon on how “you learn so much” about parenting pre-teens and teens.

“The most important thing [is] you have to find time to have conversations, because, I mean, you know, they’re changing, every day is a whole new world,” Bündchen said. “And it’s so important to kind of talk, that’s a big thing.”

During the summer, the proud mom showed how important her relationship with Brady’s son with Moynahan is even after the split.

Celebrating her teenage year, the model shared a throwback photo of herself holding little Jack, as well as a more recent photo of them, plus one of him with her and the retired NFL pro’s two children.

In the caption, she wrote: “Happy birthday Jack! I can’t believe you’re turning 16!”

“I remember when you were just a little peanut and now you tower over me. I’m so happy to have you in my life and I’ll always be there for you no matter what! I love you so much!❤️,” Bündchen added.
