Tom Brady Gives Sweet Shout-Out to His 3 Kids at Hall of Fame Ceremony: 'Your Smiles Outshine the Morning Sun'
When Brady took the stage at the ceremony in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. last June and spoke about his legacy, he sweetly referenced his three kids in his speech.
"Your dad loves you more than anything in this world," Brady said at the time. "Your smiles outshine the morning sun. And where I live, that's a pretty brilliant sun."
"There's no greater joy than watching the three of you grow and teach me things on your way to becoming incredible young adults," the proud dad added.
Brady also shared a photo on Instagram after the event of his kids attending the ceremony with him. In one adorable photo, all three siblings stand together, with Jack and Benjamin towering over their younger sister.
The athlete could also be seen hugging his two sons and walking with an arm around his daughter, with the three siblings later posing with their family in a group shot. "Back home with the family ❤️," Brady wrote in his caption.

On New Year's Eve this year, Brady raved about his three kids as he reflected on 2024 and looked to the new year ahead.
"I couldn’t have imagined a better way to ring in the new year than with the loves of my life," his Instagram caption began. "Reflecting on last year and thinking about the year ahead, there’s no better perspective than looking at these three and always trying to be better for them each day, and helping to guide them in whatever way possible."
"I’m so blessed to have joy and gratitude in my life," he continued in the caption. "No year ever goes exactly the way we want, but when I think about 2024, I could not have imagined anything better. So many new experiences that I got to share with amazing people, especially the three beautiful angels in these photos."
"I wish you all a happy healthy 2025, and as I tell so many of my loved ones, 'the best is yet to come!'❤️❤️❤️," he concluded the post, which also included some sunset shots, a snap of Vivian in the ocean and a selfie of the pair on a golf cart.
