Recently enshrined former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wrote a heartfelt message to his father and his three children in honor of Father's Day.

In an Instagram post, the 46-year-old thanked his 'hero' - Tom Brady Sr. - as well as his children Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian.

'Happy Fathers Day to my HERO, and the best role model I could have ever asked for,' Brady said of Tom Sr. 

'And THANK YOU, to these kids for giving me the gift of being a father, a joy that I could have never imagined until you came into my life,' Brady wrote about his children. 

'I hope that I can give you all that my dad gave me… unconditional love and support.'

In that same post, Brady thanked and honored his own father - Tom Brady Sr.

The post included pictures of Brady and his children, as well as images of him with his father and his mother, Galynn.

Brady shares three kids with two people. He had Jack with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan. He also co-parents Benjamin and Vivian with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen - who he divorced back in 2022.

On Wednesday, Brady was enshrined in the New England Patriots Hall of Fame at an elaborate ceremony in Foxborough.

In front of his children, Brady donned a red jacket as the newest member of the organization's list of their best players. 

'Your dad loves you more than anything in this world,' Brady said in his speech.

'… There's no greater joy than watching the three of you grow and teach me things on your way to becoming incredible young adults.'

Brady is best known for his lengthy career in New England that spanned two decades and six Super Bowl titles. 

He retired back in 2023, with a move to the broadcast booth on the cards for Brady this year.
