“Your smile lights up my life, and hearing you laugh is my favorite soundtrack. I’m so proud of you and how hard you work in school and in your sports.
You put your heart into everything you do. You’ve always been such a loving sister, granddaughter, niece, and cousin, bringing so much joy to everyone in our family.”

Tom Brady’s Reflections on Parenting
In an interview, Tom shared his thoughts on parenting and how he balances his career as a former NFL star with family life:
“Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have,” Tom said during an event at the Fortune Global Forum in November 2024. “We screw up a lot and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent. So I don’t want to seem like I’m some expert in parenting, because I’m certainly not that. I have three amazing kids. I try to be dependable and consistent for them.”
The seven-time Super Bowl champion also expressed his excitement about the upcoming teenage years:
“I can’t wait to see you thrive this coming year, growing into the incredible person you’re becoming,” he added. “I love our adventures together, you’re the most amazing travel partner, and I’m equally impressed by your ability to turn every trip into an epic scavenger hunt for the best ice cream or matcha latte. :)) I can’t wait for all the fun memories still ahead.”
Tom’s parenting journey is a testament to his commitment to being there for his children through thick and thin, even as he navigates the challenges of being in the public eye.
