For Gisele Bündchen, Benjamin Rein Brady's 'gender reveal' took place the day he was born, she allowed him to surprise her from the first day. However, dad Tom Brady was in on the secret.

As the son of the most decorated football quarterback in recent history, Benjamin Brady does not seem to be afraid of not living up to society's expectations, or his father, of be a star athlete. Despite this, he still enthusiastically supports his dad at his games by wearing a replica jersey.

The teenager is part of an energetic blended family that is currently going through a transition. His parents 13-year marriage were rocked when his dad went back on his word to retire from football.

When Was Benjamin Brady Born?

When Bündchen fell pregnant for the first time in 2009, she decided to keep the gender a surprise for herself. Husband Tom could not wait until the 'gender reveal,' aka the birth, played secret keeper for months.

Benjamin was welcomed into the world at his parent's home on December 8, 2009. The quarterback was apprehensive about his wife's wish to have a home birth but later said on ESPN that being with her during the delivery "lives in his mind."

The couple took their time naming their firstborn. The new mom broadcast her son's name, Benjamin, via her personal blog 15 days later. She called him a blessing and said it was a pleasure to receive messages of love and support from fans.

Benjamin Brady's Big Brother

Two months into his relationship with Bündchen, Tom learned he would become a father with ex-girlfriend actress Bridget Moynahan. The supermodel wrote in her memoir "Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life" that her world was "turned upside down" when the story broke.

Moynahan gave birth to John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan on August 22, 2007. Jack is in the primary care of his mom and her husband, businessman Andrew Frankel and resides in New York City. His stepmom calls him her "bonus child" in her memoir.

Jack has dabbled in swimming and soccer, but it looks like he'll follow his legendary dad in football by taking up the spot of Buccaneers' ball boy in 2021. The QB trained with his son and said on his podcast that his eldest son has a "great work ethic."

Little Sister Vivian Lake Brady

Vivian Lake Brady came into the world on December 5, 2015, three days before Benjamin's name day. She is an outdoor child who is seen horse-riding and gardening with her mom on Instagram and is the apple of her dad's eye.

Benny exhibited this humor by crashing his mom's TikTok video.

Her progression as a yogi is chronicled in a post with her mom in the “pigeon pose" between 2013, where she is grasping at the sky with her curious toddler hands, to 2022, when she poses elegantly poolside with an ocean backdrop.

How Benjamin Brady Is Raised

Benjamin and his sister are raised as "citizens of the world" and learned Portuguese from their Brazilian mom to communicate with her side of the family. The family underscore their healthy lifestyle with a plant-based diet, some of which is grown in their garden.

Their dad shared his fears about raising his offspring in a privileged environment very different than their parent's upbringing. He said they aimed to keep the kids grounded by exposing them to things most children experience.

It is vital for the Victoria's Secret Angel that her children "stay present," she told Marie Claire, which is achieved by limiting their screen time and social media usage.

Benjamin's Relationship with Sport

Unlike his dad and brother, Benjamin is not sports-mad, which was hard for the professional athlete to understand. His wife explained that his son is different than him, the quarterback revealed in Men's Health:

"The reality is that Benny just likes different things. And it's great because now I just have to go do what he wants to do. When we do that, we have the best time. He's like, 'OMG, Dad, you're so funny.' He loves joking, and I joke back."

Benny exhibited this humor by crashing his mom's TikTok video, where the model and her husband took part in a challenge where they blindly answer questions by pointing. Their son got in on the fun from behind the couch and jumped out at the end.

The towering couple married in an intimate Santa Monica ceremony after dating for two years in February 2009. Gisele Bündchen was Tom's biggest cheerleader and moved to Boston for him. In a March 31, 2019, Instagram post, she shared her philosophy:

“Time is the biggest gift any of us is given, and we all have a limited amount of it. The biggest gift we can give anyone is just that—our time, our love."

He honored his wife's wishes to spend more time with his family by retiring in February 2022 but decided to take on the helmet again a mere six months later, choosing to stay a Buccaneer. Reports of a rift between the couple soon followed.

In a September 2022 Elle interview, she said that she wanted to focus on her career after placing it on the back burner for her family;

part by supporting Tom and "creating a cocoon and a loving environment" to raise their children.

The estranged couple was spotted without their wedding bands, per Women's Health. Page Six reported on October 4, 2022, that they had retained legal representation. The QB announced on October 20 that there's “no retirement in his future.”
