Tom Brady goes full dad mode as he shares his ‘favorite football picture ever’

Ryan Brennan | June 26, 2025

Tom Brady has thousands (if not millions) of photos of himself in a football uniform. 

The 47-year-old retired quarterback spent five seasons at the University of Michigan and another 23 years in the NFL before announcing his (second) retirement from the league in 2023. 

But of all the photos taken of him during his career, one in particular reigns supreme.

On June 24, Brady took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of him wearing a New England Patriots’ practice uniform as he kneels on the field in front of his daughter, Vivian Lake. 

In a text overlay, Brady described the photo as his “favorite football picture ever.”

The photo was taken “on the field after New England Patriots training camp at Gillette Stadium on August 1, 2018 in Foxboro, Massachusetts,” according to the Boston Herald

Nancy Long, a staffer for the Boston Herald at the time, was credited with taking the photo. 

Vivian Lake, 12, is the younger child and only daughter of Brady and his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, who also share a 15-year-old son, Benjamin Reign, born in 2009 (the same year the couple tied the knot). 

Both Brady and Bündchen filed for divorce on October 28, 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The divorce was finalized later that same day. 

In addition to his two kids with Bündchen, Brady also shares a 17-year-old son, John "Jack" Edward Thomas, born in 2007, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.

Meanwhile, Bündchen welcomed her first baby boy with boyfriend Joaquim Valente in February. 

Brady describes Vivian Lake as his ‘forever baby girl’

Brady is no stranger to opening up about how much he loves being a father to Vivian. 

In a 2016 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Brady admitted that he “cannot say no to anything” when it comes to his then-3-year-old daughter. 

"That little girl owns my day -- owns my life," Brady told ET. “Whatever she tells her dad to do, that's what I do. That's just the way it goes."

On Dec. 5, Brady took to his Instagram to celebrate his daughter’s birthday

“Happy 12th birthday to my forever baby girl. Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life,” he wrote in the caption. 

“Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life!” he added. 

One week later, he gushed about being a father in a New Year’s post

“There’s no better perspective than looking at these three and always trying to be better for them each day, and helping to guide them in whatever way possible,” he wrote next to a photo of him and his kids. 

More recently, Brady has been enjoying trips around the world with his and Bündchen’s two kids. 

On June 4, the future Hall of Famer posted a series a photos of him, Vivian and Benjamin on a trip to Germany and the Netherlands to kick off summer break

“Making memories that will last forever while experiencing these different cultures and LEARNING while we’re at it,” Brady wrote in the caption. 

On June 16, he posted photos from a recent trip the trio took to Japan. 

“Japan we love you! We had SO MUCH FUN! Thank you for your hospitality and beauty! What an amazing culture of honor, respect, and discipline,” he wrote in the caption.
