From quarterback to cat dad.
Tom Brady debuted the two kittens he adopted at daughter Vivian’s request in an Instagram Story video Wednesday.
“Vivi wins again,” the newly retired NFL player, 45, captioned footage of the pets play-fighting. “This is what my mornings are like now. They are in good, loving hands.”
The Humane Society of Tampa subsequently told People that Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen‘s preteen was “drawn” to the felines.
“It wasn’t surprising that Tom reached out to adopt. They are the perfect family for these two adorable kittens!” the organization said, praising the former New England Patriots star for volunteering there “for months.”
Brady — who is also the father of sons Jack, 15, and Benjamin, 13, with Bridget Moynahan and Bündchen, respectively — was photographed at the shelter in August 2022.

Employee Ashley Ryan gushed over the athlete’s decision to “spend time” with his daughter in a meaningful way in a Feb. 1 Instagram post.
“He bonded with his kids over naming puppies and bottle feeding kittens,” she recalled. “He silently showed up every other week to make a difference for his family.”
