Brady, who shares his younger children with ex-wifeGisele Bündchen, captioned the images with a sweet message about their exciting trip to Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
"We had the BEST trip to Milan 🇮🇹 to cheer on some incredible sports stars while spending quality time exploring and learning from so many new people and places!" he wrote in the caption. "Relationships are built on shared experience and there is nothing like finding new cities to spend time with the people you love (just missing you Jack during basketball season back at home ❤️)."
"From our@Deltafamily to@zlatanand@acmilan, the hospitality in this beautiful city made it so enjoyable from the moment we arrived. Great sports, great food (I won the gold medal for pizza on this trip 😂), and even better people," Brady added. "I always love the time to connect, learn, and share moments like this! Until next time. Gracie Millie ❤️❤️❤️."

In addition to Benjamin and Vivian, Brady shares sonJack, 18, with his ex-girlfriend, actressBridget Moynahan. The retired quarterback is always looking for ways to motivate and encourage his children.
Brady and his son Benjamin recently appeared on an episode of Instagram'sCarversations,and the father-son pair candidly spoke about social media use, online behavior and how they navigate these topics as a family. During the conversation, Brady and the teen gave insight into their conversations on social media. While Benjamin admitted to sending funny, random videos, the dad of three said he tends to send more serious, motivational quotes.
"I think it's funny to send you some goofy stuff on occasion," Brady told his son, explaining his thought process behind his DMs. "But I think for the most part, if I'm going to share stuff with you, I want you to look at it and see a real value in it. Like, 'Why would Dad send me that?'"

In a July entry ofhis weekly newsletter, Brady penned a message about finding fulfillment in life outside of the sports world. Brady also opened up about what he believes makes him a "great father."
"I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family," he explained. "I chose to do it by playing football."
"My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."

Brady went on to explain that there is more than one way to show up for your children and be a great parent.
"Remember, your children are watching everything. They see what you do in every aspect of your life and how you do it," he wrote. "Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent."
"And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs," he continued. "Being a great football player didn't make me a great dad, but how I became a great player certainly had an impact — from showing up day in and day out, to doing whatever it took to get better, be successful, be a role model, and to provide."
