The next slide included Bundchen kissing her stepson, Jack, while Moynahan, 55, smiled beside them. The photo also included text that read, “Happy Mother’s Day."
Moynahan is the mother of 18-year-old Jack, whom she had with Brady in 2007. The actress and the NFL legend were together from 2004 to December 2006.
Another social media post showed the Brazilian model lying in bed and cuddling Jack, along with her and Brady's two children, 16-year-old Benjamin and 13-year-old Vivian. “Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers in this world…❤️❤️❤️” he wrote over the photo.
Brady and Bündchen were married for over a decade, from 2009 to 2022.
Tom Brady reflects on family and relationships
The social media tribute came months after Brady discussed his past relationships in an issue of his newsletter as his son Jack turned 18.
In August, the 48-year-old athlete wrote, “When people hit milestone anniversaries and birthdays, like Jack just did, it's natural to take a step back and reflect on how far they've come, how much they've grown and changed.”
“Baked into those moments of reflection is a really important question that I think a lot of people sometimes forget to ask: Who helped them along the way? Who did they learn from? Who helped guide them through early struggles, difficult moments and transformative periods of growth?” he noted, before mentioning that “we are each the product of our relationships.”
In the newsletter, Brady also highlighted his goal as a parent to three children. “I have been blessed to be in good company my entire life. My goal now, in this phase of life, is to be equally good company to Jack and Benny and Vivian, and in whatever way possible, to all of you reading this newsletter as well,” he added.
