Brady also emphasized the importance of supporting his kids, no matter what path they choose in life. Reflecting on his own upbringing, he said, “Whatever our kids choose, we got to support.” Unlike some, his parents never discouraged his dreams, and he now adopts that same mindset with his own children.

Bündchen, once praised Brady for how much he loved and cared for their family, writing, “Thank you for loving and caring for us the way that you do.” Her words came during happier times, as she celebrated him with touching Father’s Day tributes.
