Retired NFL star Tom Brady gave fans a glimpse of his 10-year-old daughter Vivian’s heartwarming connection with her newly adopted kitten in a sweet Instagram post on Thursday.*
The 45-year-old quarterback shared a series of photos on his Instagram Story, capturing tender moments between Vivian Lake and her white feline companion. In one snapshot, the young girl beams as she cuddles the kitten, with Brady captioning the image, “Pure love.”
Vivian adopted the cat last month from the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, and another photo shows her holding the pet while smiling at the camera. Brady playfully wrote, “Puuurrrrrrrfect,” over the image. A third picture features Vivian feeding a horse, which the proud dad described as “All love all the time.”
Brady shares Vivian and 13-year-old son Benjamin Rein with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, 42. He is also father to 15-year-old John “Jack” Edward from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
The former couple finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. At the time, Brady and Bündchen addressed the split in separate Instagram posts, expressing mutual respect and gratitude.
“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” Brady wrote. “However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written.”
Since retiring from the NFL in February after 23 seasons, Brady has been spending more time with his children, including a recent ski trip documented on social media. The seven-time Super Bowl champion emotionally thanked fans in his retirement announcement, saying, “Thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream.”
Brady’s latest posts continue to showcase his close bond with his kids, proving that family remains a top priority in his post-football life.
