Tom Brady welcomed the year 2025 surrounded by his children.
On Wednesday, Jan. 1, the NFL icon, 47, shared photos from New Year’s Eve with his son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 17, who he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, and two children Vivian Lake, 12, and Benjamin Rein, 14, with ex Gisele Bündchen, on Instagram.
In the post, the former soccer player talked about his three children while thinking about 2024 and looking at the new year ahead.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to ring in the new year than with the loves of my life,” his caption began. “Thinking about last year and thinking about the year ahead, there’s no better perspective than looking at these three and always trying to get better for them every day, and help guide them in any way possible.”

Tom Brady Celebrates His ‘Forever Baby Girl’ Vivian On Her 12th Birthday: ‘You Light Up My Life’
In the first photo from the carousel, Brady’s children looked all grown up as he posed with them and wrapped his arms around Vivian. The photo was followed by two shots 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 children.
“I am 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 couldn’t imagine anything better. So many new experiences to share with amazing people, especially the three beautiful angels in these photos.”
“Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2025, and as I tell many of my loved ones, ‘the best is yet to come!’❤️❤️❤️,” he concluded the post, which also included some shots of the sunset, a shot of Vivian in the ocean and a selfie of the couple on a stroller for golf.
Last month, Brady shared a series of photos on his Instagram as he took a moment to treat his daughter to a single on her 12th birthday. In one photo, Vivian is shown from the side, smiling as she poses near the ocean.
The proud papa also included a photo of the two of them in Paris, France, during the 2024 Olympics, smiling next to 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 up and chase your dreams are the proudest moments of my life,” Brady sweetly wrote in the caption. “Your love, compassion and joy fill every room you are in and will always make your dad smile. You light up my life!” “For a wonderful day filled with all the laughter and love you deserve. I love you infinitely x infinitely ❤️❤️❤️”, 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 November 28.
“Thanks for this team ❤️,” Brady wrote in the short caption of the photo. “Happy Thanksgiving 🦃.” In the photo, the three siblings are smiling together, while Benjamin and Jack tower over Vivian.
Brady, who often talks about his children, took the time to talk about his son Jack DeepCut with VicBlends in April.
“I think about my oldest son, Jack, he’s an amazing young man. Straight As. He does so well in groups of people and I see him and he’s 16, and I wonder how you’re so mature,” Brady said on time. “[He] lives in New York, puts his heart and soul into everything he does. I mean, he just blows me away with who he is.”
