Tom Brady Says He Was Raised By The World's Best Dad
In honor of the Father's Day celebration, Brady took to his Instagram page to appreciate his dad and how his training helped him raise his kids correctly.
"On this Father's Day, all I can think of is how grateful I am to have been raised by the world's best Dad, and to now have three beautiful angels of my own who I have the joy of watching grow up," the NFL legend shared on his page alongside a series of photos of his children and Tom Brady Sr.
Brady, who recently got divorced from Gisele Bündchen, shares two kids, Benjamin and Vivian, with the supermodel. He also welcomed a son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
While the former footballer feels that "being a Dad is the best thing in my life," he did admit that he still has to put in a lot of work to be "present" for his kids.
He added about them, "Their love for others and constant selflessness makes me so proud to be their dad, and I know those traits come directly from everyone who is part of their life."
Brady concluded his post, writing, "Thank you Dad, for being you, and thank you to my three amazing kids, for giving me the pleasure of being your Dad."

One of the shots Brady shared featured him, Vivian, and Benjamin sharing a meal at a location with the sea on the horizon. Another showed him shirtless with his younger son while giving him a cute kiss on the neck, while a third was a picture of his three kids on the golf course.
Speaking with E! News recently, Brady said these "individual moments" he shares with his kids are his favorite part of fatherhood. He also shared that he has a wall where he has measured their height over the years to keep track of how much they have grown.
Brady said, "I have this wall where I measure how tall they are. And I said, 'You guys look like you've grown, let's see how much you've grown.' They grew two inches in two months, both of them. Big growth spurts."
He Wants To Raise His Kids With The Right Values
Brady also revealed that he is trying to raise his three kids in "a very loving way toward one another."
He said, "My parents taught me a lot of great values. I'm trying to do the same, even though my life now is different than when I grew up. But I feel like I'm still very much the same person that is going to do the best I could do with my kids."
He went on to share that he wants them "to be very kind, to be empathetic, and to have great perspective."
Brady also acknowledged that his "kids are growing up in different ways than" he did, but he and their mothers still want "to raise them with the right values."
