On Friday, the retired NFL superstar took to Instagram and shared a sweet tribute to his son Benjamin on Instagram as he turned 14. As he shared photos of the teenager throughout the last year in which he plays football, spends time with his sister and big brother, Brady reflected on his son’s growth.
“My son Benny, can you believe it? Fourteen years old already! It seems like yesterday you were running around in your superhero cape, and now you’re definitely a superhero to me ,” he announced.
“You’ve grown so much, and not just in height (seriously, watch out @gronk) You’ve grown in kindness, smarts, and all-around awesomeness. Your ability to make people laugh, your knack for solving problems, and your endless debating skills make you a force to be reckoned with.”
Here is how fans reacted:
Gisele, the 43-year-old model, also penned a tribute to her son.
“Happy birthday to the sweetest boy! You have the biggest heart and I feel so lucky I get to learn with you everyday. Te amo muito,” Gisele wrote on Instagram.
Along with Ben, Tom and Gisele also share 11-year-old daughter Vivian. Tom is also dad to son Jack with ex-bridget Moynahan.
After announcing his retirement from the NFL, Brady revealed he plans to take a gap year from any job related to football and won’t begin his broadcast gig with Fox until the fall of 2024.
Last summer, Brady and Fox agreed to a 10-year, $375 million deal for the seven-time Super Bowl champion to take over as the network’s lead NFL analyst following his retirement.
