In today’s edition of “Supermodels Doing Supermom Stuff,” Gisele Bündchen is rolling out the birthday love for her former stepson, Jack, who just turned 17—because apparently, time does fly when you’re living the glam life.
On Thursday, August 22 (mark your calendars, people), Gisele, who’s basically aging backwards, hopped onto her Instagram Stories for a birthday shout-out that was more heartfelt than your grandma’s holiday sweater collection. The 44-year-old supermodel (who’s probably sipping a green juice while meditating on a beach somewhere) shared some adorable throwback pics of Jack, a.k.a. the world’s luckiest teenager, who just happens to have Gisele and Tom Brady as his backup parents.
“Happy birthday to this sweet peanut!” Gisele gushed, throwing in a vintage snap of her cuddling little Jack when he was just a mini peanut. Imagine being called a peanut by Gisele Bündchen. That’s how you know you’ve made it.
She didn’t stop there, though. Oh no. She cranked up the warm fuzzies, posting a recent pic of her and Jack, looking like the most photogenic pair in existence. “Who turned into a beautiful, kind, and incredible young man,” she wrote, probably causing an uptick in tissues sold worldwide. “We are so lucky to have you in our lives! Love you so much!” Honestly, if Instagram Stories could win Oscars, this one would be Best Tearjerker.
Now, if you’re new here (welcome, where have you been?), let’s clear up the family tree real quick: Tom Brady, who is 47 years old but still looks like he could outrun you, had Jack with his ex, Bridget Moynahan, before Gisele sashayed into the picture. The plot twist? Bridget found out she was pregnant after she and Tom split, and Tom was already dating Gisele. Sounds like the premise for a juicy rom-com, right? But instead of turning this into a Netflix drama, everyone just decided to be mature adults and co-parent like pros. Props to them!
As for Gisele and Tom, the former power couple who were married from 2009 to 2022, they share two kids of their own: Benjamin, 14, who’s probably the most Zen teenager you’ll ever meet, and Vivian, 11, who’s clearly following in her mom’s footsteps by being a mini-fashion icon in the making.
Gisele Bündchen, master of yoga poses and birthday shout-outs, is still out here making sure the whole world knows she’s the cool stepmom. Jack, hope you’re ready for more posts next year! 🎉
