Tom Brady Honors Exes Gisele Bündchen, Bridget Moynahan in Sweet Mother's Day Tributes
Tom Brady’s tributes were a total touchdown.
After all, the former NFL star made sure to honor all the mothers in his life on Mother’s Day, including both of his exes Gisele Bündchen and Bridget Moynahan—with whom he shares kids Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, as well as son Jack, 18, respectively—in a series of Instagram Story posts.
First, Tom paid tribute to his own mom, Galynn Patricia Brady, writing, “Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom in the world.”
Accompanying the message was a picture of Galynn cradling a sleeping Vivian in her lap, to which Tom noted alongside red hearts, “This picture perfectly sums up who you are Mom.”
The following Mother’s Day messages showed a picture of Gisele and Bridget posing with Jack, followed by a solo shot of Gisele with all three children.
“Happy Mother’s Day,” Tom concluded, “to all the amazing mothers in this world…”
Bridget and Tom, for their part, dated for two years in the mid aughts and have maintained a friendly coparent dynamic in the years since welcoming Jack. Meanwhile, Tom and Gisele were married for over 10 years before their 2022 split.
As for how he and Gisele coparent their children, Tom says they’ve developed the perfect game plan.

“As a married couple, you're in the same house all the time, so you're trying to always be on the same page,” he told USA Today in February. “And then when you're not in the same house, you're still trying to be on the same page, as it relates to the children.”
As he put it, “We both love our kids more than anything in the world, and we do our best to try to be the best example that we can be and knowing that, you know, parents aren't perfect either.”
Meanwhile, in the time since she and the former quarterback parted ways, Gisele has gone on to marry Joaquim Valente, with whom she welcomed a baby boy in February 2025.

This year marked Gisele’s second Mother’s Day with her and Joaquim’s newest addition, and she made the occasion one to celebrate.
“Nothing in this world fills my life with more meaning and joy than being a mom,” Gisele wrote on Instagram May 10. “I’m so grateful to experience life with them, learning and growing together every day.”
Accompanying the post was a carousel of images of Gisele with her kids, as well as a few with her late mom Vania Nonnenmacher, who died in 2024.
“Happy Mother’s Day to all moms,” the model continued, “especially to my mama, who is always by my side in spirit and inspires me to be the best mom that I can be.”

The Star Wars actress shared a moving tribute to her late mom Carrie Fisher, as well as her own two kids.
"For the first time since my mom died I woke up feeling more sweet than bitter it was Mother’s Day today," she wrote on Instagram. "My kids are 3 + 5 now are at an age where they are jazzed beyond belief about every single holiday."
She continued, "Losing my mom at such a young age has given me an appreciation for all the joy in life I never had before. And an understanding that all that joy would not exist if my mom did not exist. And my life wouldn’t be what it is if I did not lose her when I did. I miss her every single day but her magic is with me every day through the magic that is the life I’ve created with my husband and children."
