Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen may have closed the chapter on their marriage, but their dedication to co-parenting remains one of the strongest constants in their post-divorce lives.
That commitment was on full display as their son, Benjamin, celebrated his 16th birthday, a milestone both parents marked with warmth, humor, and unmistakable pride.

Coming just days after celebrating their daughter Vivian turning 13, the former couple once again showed that while their relationship has changed, their family bond has not.
Brady shared a classic “dad-style” tribute to his son, filled with playful teasing and genuine affection. Known for balancing intensity on the field with softness off it, the seven-time Super Bowl champion leaned into that familiar mix, joking about late-night texts and laundry mishaps before shifting into heartfelt praise for Benjamin‘s character.
Bundchen echoed that sentiment in her own way, offering a tender, reflective message that highlighted her son’s kindness and gentle heart.
Their posts quickly drew attention from fans, many of whom have followed the family for over a decade.
Brady and Bundchen have long been public about their devotion to their children, even as their personal lives evolved after their 2022 divorce. Birthdays, school milestones, family vacations, and professional accomplishments have consistently been met with unified support from both parents.
A Co-Parenting Model Built on Love, Stability, and Mutual Respect
The seamless co-parenting dynamic Brady and Bundchen display now is something both have openly worked toward.
Since their breakup, each has emphasized the importance of creating stability for their two children, even as they build new lives, Brady focusing on his media ventures and broadcasting career, and Bundchen embracing new modeling projects, wellness work, and her relationship with partner Joaquim Valente.
Their approach has often been cited as an example of modern, collaborative parenting. Brady has spoken on podcasts and interviews about how being a father remains his “greatest job,” while Bundchen has highlighted the emotional work required to guide children through difficult transitions.
They may no longer appear together on red carpets or at NFL games, but they continue to show up for Benjamin and Vivian with unified purpose.
Benjamin, who has carved out his own identity away from the shadow of his father’s football legacy, continues to be a central part of that.
Bundchen previously shared how he faced pressure in Boston due to Brady’s fame, leading him to pursue sports like skiing and surfing instead of football. Brady later admitted that embracing those choices, rather than pushing him toward the gridiron, helped him grow as a parent. Their shared support for his individuality has remained consistent.
This year’s birthday celebration also comes after a series of memorable moments. Brady made headlines when he gifted Benjamin a rare Jacob & Co. watch during Super Bowl weekend, a gesture that underscored the quarterback’s penchant for grand expressions of love.
Meanwhile, Bündchen has regularly shared quieter, intimate glimpses into their family life, from piano sessions to outdoor adventures.
As Benjamin steps into young adulthood, one thing is clear: Tom and Gisele may be steering separate ships, but they remain unwavering co-captains when it comes to guiding their children.
Their marriage may be over, but the foundation they built for their family continues to thrive-proving that champions aren’t defined only by trophies, but also by the way they show up for the people they love.
