Tom Brady Reveals the Sneaky Way He Attends His Kids’ Sports Games
Athleticism clearly runs in Tom Brady's family.
The former New England Patriots quarterback shared some adorable home footage of himself practicing volleyball with his daughter Vivian, 13—who he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen—and he had some high praise for her talent.
"Saturday nights with my future Olympian," Tom captioned his April 20 Instagram post. "I think I finally found someone who likes practice more than I did."
In the accompanying video, the 48-year-old—who is also dad to son Jack, 18, with ex Bridget Moynahan and Benjamin, 16, who he also shares with Gisele—practices hitting a volleyball back and forth with his daughter in their backyard as one of their dogs runs in and out of the frame and music blasts in the background.
At the start of the video, Vivian declares "'kay, it's filming" as she sets up the phone to record their practice session, but Tom has to come fix it after realizing the camera was blocked by a plant. The father-daughter duo also shares a sweet hug when they finish practicing at the end of the clip.
Fellow sports legend David Beckham was certainly impressed by the video, commenting, "You met your match and [then] some."
Tom had recently celebrated his daughter's commitment to sports while celebrating her birthday.
“Your smile lights up my life, and hearing you laugh is my favorite soundtrack,” he wrote on Instagram in December. “I’m so proud of you and how hard you work in school and in your sports. You put your heart into everything you do. You’ve always been such a loving sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, bringing so much joy to everyone in our family."
The three-time NFL MVP has also discussed his own commitment to supporting his children in their athletic endeavors, even if they're not always thrilled to see him at their sporting events.
"I'm probably pretty irritating to them,” he said during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March. “They want me to stand outside the arena when they're playing. They're like, ‘Dad, don't come in here.’”
However, he’s also developed a strategy to remain incognito and avoid becoming a distraction in the stands.
“I always—especially when I go to the opposing schools—[wear] the hat, hoodie, [and sit] as far down, as far away from every other parent,” he explained, “because you just want the attention focused on the kids, and that's where it should be."
