Brady posted the pictures to celebrate the start of summer and looked ahead to a major family milestone. But as followers swiped through the carousel, many found themselves focused on something else entirely.
Just one look at Benjamin and Vivian Brady was enough to ignite thousands of reactions. Years after fans first watched them appear in family snapshots, many could hardly believe how different they look today.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion posted a carousel on his Instagram on June 3, giving followers a rare, unhurried look at his kids. Benjamin and Vivian were front and center, soaking up the sun at what appeared to be a Florida getaway.
Brady's caption kept things warm and low-key, with a nod to his eldest son, Jack, who wasn't in the photos: "Schools out, vibes are high, just missing our super senior Jack… Can't wait to celebrate your graduation with you 🌴🌴🌴."
While the post celebrated the start of summer and Jack's upcoming graduation, many followers were focused on something else entirely.

While Vivian's resemblance to Bündchen generated much of the conversation, Benjamin also became a major topic of discussion. The teenager's height and mature appearance caught the attention of many followers.
Some fans said they could clearly see Brady in his son. "Good looking boy, daddy’s clone," one commenter wrote. Another added, "The daughter looks like her mom, and the son looks like his papa."
Others focused on Benjamin's appearance itself. "Looking closely at the photo, you realize that Benjamin is extremely handsome!"

One Detail Fans Couldn't Stop Mentioning
Another unexpected topic emerged throughout the comment section: Vivian Brady's hair. Several followers noticed that it appears significantly longer than in previous family photos.
"Look how long VIVI hair is getting.. guess she’s not a BOB girl. 👱♀️ right choice VIVI.. you do you. 👍❤️," one fan wrote.
Another commented, "Congratulation to your senior son’s graduation!! Vivi and Ben look great! Vivi’s hair is longgggg, longer than her Mom’s! Enjoy your summer! 🙌👏" A third added, "Viv has such beautiful full hair... 💛."
Looking back at photos from 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and even 2025, the latest images show just how dramatically both children have changed.
2012
One of the earliest public photos of Benjamin Brady shows him as a toddler in December 2012, sitting in a stroller during a walk with his father and the family's dog in Boston. At the time, he was a small child bundled up against the winter weather.

2014
A photo taken after a New England Patriots practice session shows Benjamin as a young child sitting comfortably in his father's arms. Dressed in a graphic T-shirt and a small hat, Benjamin still had the unmistakable look of a little boy who accompanied his father to football events.
2015
During the Patriots' 2015 victory parade, Benjamin proudly held the Lombardi Trophy while sitting beside his father. Today, the once-small child has transformed into a broad-shouldered teenager whose mature appearance left many fans stunned.

2017
Vivian Brady was just a little girl when she joined her father on the field after the Patriots' Super Bowl LI victory in 2017. Nearly a decade later, her long hair and increasingly familiar features have prompted many fans to compare her to her mother, Gisele Bündchen.

Two years later, Vivian appeared once again during a Super Bowl celebration, still sporting the youthful look fans had come to associate with Brady's youngest child. The teenager seen in the family's 2026 photos looks remarkably different, with many followers calling her the "spitting image" of her mother.

In 2021, Vivian was no longer the little girl seen celebrating on NFL fields a few years earlier. During the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl boat parade, she appeared noticeably older, with longer hair and a growing resemblance to the teenager she would eventually become.
2023
By 2023, the transformation of both Benjamin and Vivian was already becoming apparent. During a ceremony honoring Tom Brady at Gillette Stadium, the siblings appeared alongside their father wearing Patriots jerseys, looking noticeably older than in the championship photos from previous years.
