Tom Brady’s only daughter, Vivian Lake, has officially crossed the threshold into teenager territory, and her dad is celebrating the milestone with all the tenderness you’d expect from the famously devoted father of three.
The 13-year-old spent her birthday week wrapped in both online love and real-life family moments, as Brady, 48, shared a series of photos and emotional words honoring the youngest child he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. He is also father to sons Jack, 18, with Bridget Moynahan, and Benjamin, 15, with Bündchen.
Brady opened his Instagram tribute with a message that fans instantly loved. “Happy 13th birthday to my precious forever baby girl. A TEENAGER. I love you more than words can describe, and you are such a blessing to me and our family every single day,” he wrote, pairing his words with photos from recent years.

You’ve always been such a loving sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, bringing so much joy to everyone in our family.”

One showed him standing behind Vivian with his arms wrapped tightly around her, another revealed a younger Vivi in a pink My Little Pony dress posing before a sign that read “No Autographs Please.” A third captured pure amusement-park joy as Vivian devoured cotton candy while her dad made a silly face beside her.

All three of his children joined him for the trip, where they crowded the University of Michigan field, the same one where Brady once launched his college football career.
The quarterback called the holiday gathering a meaningful pause in a busy season. “What a special Thanksgiving weekend with the people I love most! Laughing, playing, eating too much… and enjoying our family and football and tradition in the state of Michigan,” he wrote.
