Tom Brady, the retired NFL quarterback and seven-time Super Bowl champion, traveled to Milan, Italy, for the 2026 Winter Olympics with his children Benjamin and Vivian. The familyspent the week exploring the city, meeting new people, and cheering Team USA on the ice. The trip delivered a thrilling highlight on Thursday, when the U.S. women’s hockey team rallied to beat Canada 2-1 in overtime, with Megan Keller scoring the golden goal. Brady watched the historic moment alongside tennis legend Billie Jean King in the stands.
Four days later, the men’s team matched that feat, with Jack Hughes delivering another overtime winner against Canada on Sunday. But it was a quiet personal post Brady shared during the trip that quickly became the real talking point.

The volleyball emojis pointed directly to Vivian’s sport of choice, and fans quickly picked up on what Brady was hinting at.
Vivian, whom Brady shares with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, already plays the sport at school level. She also swims and plays soccer regularly. What stands out is that almost every sport she gravitates toward falls under the Summer Olympics umbrella, giving Brady’s caption a meaning that felt personal and purposeful.

This was not the first time father and daughter shared an Olympic adventure. Brady and Vivian spent three days at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, taking in nine events including gymnastics, beach volleyball, swimming, and diving. Vivian even got on the sand herself,hitting a volleyball with Brazilian beach volleyball legend Juliana Felisberta da Silva during their visit.
The “summer Olympian” label carries extra weight after witnessing winter sport in Italy. It signals exactly where Brady sees his daughter’s future heading.
With the Summer Olympicsheading to Los Angeles in 2028, Vivian will be 15 when the Games open in July, and her next step is likely club-level volleyball competition.
Away from the Fox Sports broadcast booth, Brady has hinted at his own sporting ambitions for those same Games, making their shared Olympic dream a genuine family affair.
