Brady and his ex-wife Bündchen emphasized that despite their split, their children would be the first priority. It is no surprise that Brady’s children are athletically inclined, given their genetics. But, it is impossible to miss the fact that horse riding is a very dangerous sport. Vivian, who seems to be a keen rider, has picked a sport that injures a majority of those who take it up. Horse riding injures 81% of equestrians at some point in their career.

It is normal to be intimidated because of a statistic like that. But, it just proves that Vivian, like her father, is undaunted by a challenge.

Brady and Bündchen agree on one thing

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen announced the finalization of their divorce on October 28. The former couple tied the knot 13 years ago. Together they have two children, Benjamin and Vivian. The former couple emphasized that they would continue to prioritize their children. The model said, “My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart.”

Brady echoed his ex-wife’s words saying, “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”  From the way they have been spending time with their children despite not living together anymore, there is no doubt that Benjamin and Vivian will continue to grow in a loving environment.
