Tom Brady is celebrating his youngest son. In a new post, Brady celebrated Benjamin's 16th birthday, sharing some photos captured over the years showing some of Ben's personality and how much he's changed and grown over the years.
Benjamin is one of Brady's three kids, along with John and Vivian. He shares Ben with his ex-wife, Gisele Bundchen.
In photos shared on his Instagram, Brady shared a moving tribute to his "forever baby boy," showing Ben alongside his friends, brother, and sister, family members, and more. The images capture Ben in all sorts of scenarios, showing that while he's 16, he's almost as tall as his father and older brother.
"Happy 16th Birthday, my precious forever baby boy Benny!" Brady captioned the post. "You’re officially old enough to drive, but not old enough to stop texting me 'Where r u?' at midnight. You are kind and caring and thoughtful, you lead with your heart but you are also so funny and fun to be around and you make every room brighter. Proud doesn’t cover it, mostly I’m shocked you grew up so fast and somehow still haven’t learned to fold a laundry basket properly."
"Here’s to more big moments, great grades, sports wins, and a slightly lighter Uber bill. And I know this next year will be your best year yet. We love you sooooo much."
Ben was also celebrated by his mom
Gisele Bundchen took to her Instagram stories to share a sweet tribute to her son. The photo is a throwback image, showing her holding on to a younger Ben as she kissed his cheek, with him wearing an adorable green bathing suit and a white cap.
“Happy birthday to my sweet Benny,” she captioned the post. “I wish you could stay this little so I could take you everywhere with me.”
Bundchen's tribute touched upon some of the same character traits that Brady highlighted, including Ben's kindness. “I can’t believe you are already 16,” she wrote. “You have the biggest, most beautiful heart, a soul so kind it touches everyone around you. I’m grateful every day that you chose me to be your mama. I love you with all of my heart.”
Brady and Bundchen were together for years, married from 2009 to 2022. Brady shares John from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan. In the case of Bundchen, she's currently dating Joaquim Valente, with whom she shares a baby boy born earlier this year.
