Death of ‘Family Member’ Brings Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen Back Together after Infamous Divorce
American National Football League (NFL) quarterback Tom Brady was married to Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen for more than a decade after they started dating in 2006 and got married in 2009 in a Catholic ceremony in Santa Monica, California.
For years, Tom Brady’s relationship with Bundchen was one of the most popular relationships in show business. However, the former’s decision to return to football shortly after announcing his retirement led to their divorce in 2022 because Bundchen was worried about his health. They have remained on good terms even after the separation and recently, they have come together again to mourn the demise of one of their family members.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen Mourned the Loss of a Family Member
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen had a happy marriage and had two kids together, 14-year-old son Benjamin Rein Brady and 11-year-old daughter Vivian Lake Brady. In addition to these two kids, they had another family member which was a pitbull mix dog they adopted during their marriage. Fans of the footballer will know that he used to post about their beloved dog named Lulu often. In fact, in his Ugg 2014 Australian commercial, he was seen playing with his dog.
The Brady family came together to put Lulu to sleep recently. Both Brady and Bundchen mourned the death of their family dog on separate Instagram posts last Saturday. Gisele Bundchen posted pictures of the dog along with her kids and even a sun-kissed picture of the beloved dog. She captioned the post:
“Our little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven. She will forever live in our hearts. We already miss her sooooo much! #unconditionallove RIPLua 💔”

Tom Brady is an Animal Lover
Tom Brady is one of the most well-known footballers in the world. He is also a father and has often volunteered at animal shelters. Around the start of the 2022 football season, during his time in Tampa Bay, he went along with former teammate Logan Ryan to volunteer at shelters.
In February 2023, Ryan’s wife Ashley Bragg Ryan shared a picture of the footballer in an Instagram post in which she wrote:
“It’s the one about the dad who volunteered at the animal shelter with his kids throughout an entire football season. The one where he bonded with his kids over naming puppies and bottle-feeding kittens. The one where he silently showed up every other week to make a difference for his family and his community. The one where 2 dads just got to be dads and beamed with pride every time their kids said ‘Please can we just stay a little bit longer?!’ The one where two little girls built a friendship around their love of tiny baby kittens and did their part in making the world a better place for animals.”

Ashley Ryan went on to write how Brady volunteered at the shelter just so he could bond with his little daughter. She also noted how he reached out to his friend to ask how he could help the community with more than just his money.
