Although they are no longer together, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady make every effort to be wonderful parents.
On the occasion of their son Benjamin Rein's 15th birthday, the delighted parents, who are divorced and share parental responsibilities for their two children, shared birthday messages.
Bundchen, who is 44 years old and a Victoria's Secret Angel, reportedly posted three pictures of her kid on her Instagram Stories account, as reported by Daily Mail.
In the first post, he was seen playing with sticks outside, which was a nostalgic image. A message, "Happy birthday to the sweetest and funniest boy on earth," was written on top of the picture.
The next post showed a picture of him and his younger sister sharing a hug as they stood close to a lake. The ecstatic mother continued, "You have the biggest heart, and it's amazing to see you grow into an incredible young man like you have become."
Last but not least, she uploaded an older photograph of the two of them holding a chicken. Her charming note said, "Ti amo muito," a Portuguese phrase that translates to "I love you very much."
She is expecting her third kid, her first with Joaquim Valente, her partner of one year. Following the initial allegations of a romantic relationship between the two in November 2022, the couple started dating in June 2023. This was just a few weeks after she filed for divorce from Brady on October 28, 2022.
As reported by Geo News, Brady, who is 47 years old, began by displaying a carousel of photographs of his kid with his siblings before continuing to talk about how devoted and humorous his son is.
"Happy Birthday Benny!" the retired NFL quarterback penned, adding, "I'm so proud of the young man you are... You're a student, artist, athlete, musician, and teammate... but most of all you're the best brother and son anyone could ask for."
"You pour so much into everything you do, and it shows in the way you inspire others around you. Thanks for always making us laugh ... even when you're not supposed to! I can't wait to see all the great things you'll continue to achieve. Dad loves you sooooooooo much!" he continued.
At the beginning of the carousel, a group shot from Taylor Swift's Eras Tour was displayed. The photo included Benjamin, Brady, and his second son, John "Jack" Edward Thomas, who is 17 years old and with whom he shares custody with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Next was a photo of Benjamin posing on the beach at dusk with two others, followed by a snap of the birthday boy dressed in a suit.
Another flashback photograph was taken of the young man and his sister, Vivian, who is now 12. In the final two pictures of the teenager, the slideshow ended.
Internet users provide their opinions.
"Say what you will, but Gisele and Tom's co-parenting game is STRONG!" one internet user wrote.
"Ben is lucky to have such supportive parents. Kudos to Gisele and Tom!" another fan said.
"I'm amazed! That's real love for the kids," a third user quipped.
"Brady's tribute was so touching. Father of the year material!" a fourth fan wrote.
"Another celebrity doing it right-this is how it should be!" a fifth chimed in.
"Gisele's posts are so sweet. She's a mom first, no matter what," another fan wrote.
