Tom Brady has sparked headlines again, this time not for football, but for a new “date.” The retired quarterback attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez‘s high-profile wedding last weekend, but it wasn’t a romantic appearance that drew attention, it was the presence of his daughter, Vivian.
And according to insiders, the moment even has the stamp of approval from Brady‘s ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
A source close to the newlyweds confirmed that Brady and 12yearold Vivian attended the lavish celebration in California, arriving together in a private car.
While Bezos and Sanchez traded vows, Tom and his daughter shared a cozy evening at a family-friendly table overlooking the ocean.
A photo from the event captured a quiet moment: Brady chatting with a beaming Vivian, who gave him an affectionate hug. It’s proof, insiders say, that Brady is fully transitioned into life as a devoted father.
“My little mermaid soaking up the sun and the sea,” Brady recently captioned an Instagram Story featuring a sunlit vacation snap with Vivian from their summer trip to Spain.
Their Mediterranean holiday earlier this week offered a glimpse into Brady‘s softer side: he shared a snapshot of Vivian lounging in an inner tube, thumbs-up to the camera, and gushed about his “favorite co-pilot” in another picture during a northern Europe getaway.
These tender exchanges underscore Brady‘s post-divorce life, which he’s been building since splitting from Gisele in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Gisele’s perspective and co-parenting dynamics
Gisele Bundchen is reportedly supportive of Brady‘s close relationship with their daughter and approving of his appearance at Bezos‘s wedding.
Although Brady and Gisele maintain limited communication, reportedly “only when they have to”, they continue to share joint custody of Vivian and her older brother, Benjamin. Their arrangements include coordinated parenting in different households, with both striving toward a balanced family environment.
Insiders say Gisele (now engaged to Joaquim Valente and newly pregnant) appreciates Brady‘s efforts to keep Vivian involved in both parents’ lives.
“They’re super smart children. They know what they can get away with,” Gisele joked about their co-parenting dynamic during a cultural trip to Europe.
Gisele‘s comfort with Brady‘s longtime presence in their daughter’s life is evident, especially when he steps up in public, celebratory settings like this wedding.
A flourishing father-daughter bond
Brady‘s public tributes for Vivian are heartfelt and consistent. He’s shared several Instagram Stories this year, including a touching post on Mother’s Day honouring Gisele, Bridget Moynahan and his own mother, Galynn Patricia, tagging Vivian in warm family photos.
And during warm spring and summer months, countless Instagram updates depict their travels across Europe: from skiing to soccer finals, Brady has positioned Vivian as his constant companion.
Brady told Sports Illustrated during a Father’s Day tribute earlier this year: “I’m grateful for every moment and it’s a pleasure watching these three beautiful angels grow up!”
His pride is all too clear. Whether calling Vivian his “forever Valentine” on a February ski trip or celebrating her sun-soaked summer, Brady has woven these snapshots into a narrative of heartfelt co-parenting.
