SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA: Tom Brady has his mother, Galynn Patricia, to blame for a hilarious mix-up that led to a photo of the former NFL star with his three children landing on the doorstep of another family.

Coincidentally, the family of San Francisco 49ers' tight end Jake Tonges. The entire faux was chronicled by her sister Katie Tonges on her TikTok account.

How did the mix-up happen?

Katie shared three screenshots while narrating the story of the photo mix-up. With the caption, "The photo my mom ordered to CVS," Katie shared a photo of her siblings.

In the next slide, she shared a photo of Brady with his three children Jack, 16, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. Brady’s picture was from earlier this year when the family was snapped at the stands of Gillette Stadium. While Brady shares Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, he shares Benjamin and Vivian with ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.

In the third slide, Katie shared a snapshot of their family group chat where their father explained the incident to the rest of their family.

He appeared to have written "Mom sent in a picture of you kids to CVS to give to grandma for Christmas. We just received them today and instead of you guys we get Tom Brady and his kids.”

On the photo, it was also written, “Tom do you want your family photo back?” For added measure, Katie added as the caption, "We can do a trade if you have our photo…??"

This is, however, not the end of the story as Brady himself saw the TikTok post and explained the mystery. The former New England Patriots star said, "My mom must have been printing some photos out in San Francisco 😅.”
