Just days after celebrating her lookalike daughter Vivan’s 13th birthday, Gisele Bündchen has another special birthday milestone to ring in. On Monday, the supermodel gave fans a rare glimpse at her relationship with her eldest son Benjamin, embracing the teen in a never-before-seen photo shared on his 16th birthday.
Bündchen kicked off a new week with a special Instagram tribute to the birthday boy, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. The mom-of-three was feeling understandably nostalgic as Benjamin turned 16, and she shared a sweet throwback photo of the pair embracing with a heartfelt message. In a December 8 Instagram Story post, a makeup-free Gisele could be seen kissing her son on the cheek as she scooped him up in her arms. Set against the background of a lush jungle, the photo showed the Brazilian model wearing a sheer black crochet cover-up over her white string bikini while her golden blonde-highlighted hair was styled in effortless mermaid waves.

“Happy birthday my sweet Benny!” the former Victoria’s Secret model wrote, revealing her nickname for her eldest child. “I wish you could stay this little so I could take you everywhere with me. I can’t believe you are already 16th! You have the biggest, most beautiful heart, a soul so kind it touches everyone around you.” Setting the post to Jack Johnson’s “Better Together,” she added, “I’m grateful every day that you chose me to be your mama. I love you with all of my heart.”

Benjamin’s dad Tom Brady also shared a birthday photo dump on Instagram on Monday, including rare images of the teen with his little sister Vivian, 13, and his older half-brother Jack, 18, whom the former NFL star shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.
“Happy 16th Birthday, my precious forever baby boy Benny! 🎉 You’re officially old enough to drive, but not old enough to stop texting me “Where r u?” at midnight,” Brady quipped in the post, which was a mix of heartfelt comments and roasts. “You are kind and caring and thoughtful, you lead with your heart but you are also so funny and fun to be around and you make every room brighter. Proud doesn’t cover it, mostly I’m shocked you grew up so fast and somehow still haven’t learned to fold a laundry basket properly,” he added. Brady closed out his birthday toast, “Here’s to more big moments, great grades, sports wins, and a slightly lighter Uber bill.”
