Tom Brady recently returned to his old stomping grounds at Michigan, bringing along his family after the Thanksgiving game between the Packers and Lions aired on FOX Sports. He described the experience as “one of the best Thanksgivings ever.”
The NFL legend shared pictures from Ford Field and enjoyed his time in Ann Arbor with Gisele Bündchen’s kids, Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, as well as his son Jack, 18, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
“What a special Thanksgiving weekend to spend with the people I love most!” Brady, 48, reflected. “I laugh, play, eat way too much…and enjoy my family, football, and Michigan traditions.”
One of the photos captured a heartfelt moment where Brady embraced Vivian on the field at Michigan, where he played college football from 1996 to 1999. In another shot, Jack and Benjamin donned Michigan gear alongside their dad.
“Being on Michigan State’s campus is always special, especially now that finals aren’t on my mind!” he added, perhaps with a hint of nostalgia.
Brady continued, “We got to go to the Big House to watch Michigan play against Ohio State. It meant the world to see so many old friends and teammates. I’m really grateful for all the memories and relationships from my days at Michigan starting in 1995.”
He then expressed joy in sharing these experiences with his kids, saying it felt like a dream come true. Despite the game’s disappointing outcome—Michigan lost 27-9 to Ohio State—Brady maintained a positive outlook, saying, “The sun always rises the next day.”
Brady, ever appreciative of family, noted how special it was to have his parents, Garyn and Tom Sr., join in the family moments captured over the weekend.
Reflecting on his career, Brady, who now works as an analyst for FOX Sports, also expressed excitement about his role, mentioning that he enjoyed collaborating with Kevin Burkhardt and the rest of the broadcast team during the Lions vs. Packers game.
“I’m thrilled to work with the best at @foxsports to bring a great game to everyone,” he stated after Green Bay’s victory over Detroit.
