Gisele Bundchen's Daughter Is Growing Up To Be Her Twin

It's no stretch to say Vivian Lake Brady has spent her entire life around the spotlight. After all, her mother is world-famous supermodel, Gisele Bündchen, and her father, Tom Brady, is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. Vivian's parents met back in 2006 and tied the knot three years later. Before their headline-making divorce, they had two kids together: Benjamin Brady, who they welcomed in 2009, and Vivian, who was born in 2012. Tom also has a son, Jack Moynahan, from his previous relationship with actor Bridget Moynahan, who Bündchen refers to as her "bonus child."

In fact, Bündchen told Vanity Fair that it was her stepson's birth that made her realize that she wanted to be a mother, even though she didn't know if she was ready then. While the transition was initially hard, Bündchen really took to motherhood. As she said to Robin Roberts of "Good Morning America," "I was actually living what I love so much, which is being a mom, and a nurturer, and taking care of my family. It was just very different than what I was used to."

The only girls in their immediate family, Bündchen and Vivian have an extra special relationship. Not only do they ook very similar, but they seem to have a lot in common. By all accounts, Gisele Bündchen's daughter is growing up to be her twin.

Chances are if you've been following Gisele Bündchen over the years, then you know that the daughter she shares with Tom Brady has been doing yoga and mediation since she was a baby. In 2013, for example, when Vivian Brady was just 10 months old, Bündchen shared a photo of them meditating. That same year, Bündchen posted another photo of baby Vivian joining her on her mat as she did yoga. Bündchen later reposted that photo in 2020, alongside a photo of her and her Vivian doing the same yoga pose that year. In the caption, she reflected on how long they've been practicing side by side, writing, "My little yoga partner is growing so fast! ... 2013-> 2020."

That wasn't the only time that Bündchen illustrated her and Vivian's yoga journey. In another post about their joint yoga practice, Bündchen once again included older photos, captioning the post, "Time flies!!! 2022 > 2020 > 2013." Bündchen has also shared different photos of her and Vivian doing yoga in her birthday posts, making it clear that it is a big part of their lives.

It can be assumed that Bündchen inspired Vivian to add yoga into her routine, as it's something that she believes is important to share. Bündchen even told The Guardian, "The more people get things like yoga, it's a positive thing. The more people become awakened."

Vivian Brady might not be an international supermodel like mom Gisele Bündchen just yet, but she sure is a seasoned international jet-setter. In 2023 alone, Vivian spent most of her summer vacation traveling. In June, for instance, she was photographed with her mother on a beach in Costa Rica, where the family has another home. Vivian was spotted spending time there the previous November too, with her mother and her mother's rumored boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.

In June 2023, Bündchen shared that she took her children to her native Brazil, so they could spend time with family. Chatting with People about his kids' summer vacation plans, Tom Brady dished, "We're going to Disneyland tomorrow to celebrate because it's the last day of school. Then they're going with their mom for a couple of weeks to Brazil." He also shared that he'd be taking them to Europe. 

If that's not impressive enough, that August, Tom shared that Vivian then joined him in Africa for his birthday. Alongside the photos, he wrote, "It was another special reminder that life is TRULY about relationships and memories." Vivian's excursions didn't stop with the end of summer either, since Tom shared that they went snorkeling in a tropical location around Thanksgiving. They seemingly then traveled somewhere snowy for Christmas, as Tom posted about them skiing then on his Instagram Story (via Page Six).

If there is one thing that Vivian Brady is especially passionate about, it's horses. Her mom, Gisele Bündchen, has shared a number of photos of her daughter cuddling horses and riding horses. Vivian has been taking riding lessons for a while, and she is so serious about it that her mother decided to buy a horse farm. Bündchen told People that it just made sense after they were constantly bombarded by paparazzi at public stables. "This should be a fun thing that we get to do together. So I was like, this way, I can have her practice what she loves," she said.

Bündchen also revealed that Vivian's own horse is gentle and easygoing, but that she has been pushing for a new one that will challenge her more. "She's already like, 'Mom, I have to have a new horse to jump higher.' I'm like, 'Calm down,'" Bündchen recalled.

It seems that Vivian has no fear when it comes to being an equestrian, even after breaking her arm when she fell off her horse at age seven and needed surgery. While she did stop riding for a while after that, she eventually found her way back into the saddle. In a separate interview, Bündchen told People, "You would think after going through all of that at 7 years old that you wouldn't want to do it anymore ... She overcame that fear that was really real for her."

It appears that Vivian Brady shares mom Gisele Bündchen's interest in nature and protecting the environment. It seems safe to assume Bündchen taught her the importance of sustainability, as the family does their best to live green at home. She and her brothers are specifically passionate about cutting single-use plastic by using reusable water bottles. Bündchen told Marie Claire, "I see them talking with their friends about it and showing them their water bottles in hopes they might join them and use them too."

The family also has a farm where they get fresh eggs from their chickens and a garden where they harvest vegetables. Besides Bündchen, Vivian looks to be the most into gardening. Bündchen has shared multiple posts of her daughter working the soil and harvesting fresh produce over the years. Vivian's dad, Tom Brady, also shared a photo of her tending the garden when she was just 5 years old. For Bündchen though, gardening with her kids is about more than just creating food to eat. As the supermodel told "GMA" reporter Robin Roberts, "They also learn that it takes time to grow — like we plant the seed and then they have to wait."

Overall, Vivian apparently spends a lot of her free time in nature, whether that's in the garden, climbing trees, or playing in a stream.  Bündchen approves, writing on Instagram, "Contact with nature is essential for the health and well-being of children."

Vivian Brady was just 9 years old when her parents, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady, ended their marriage; Tom was reportedly initially worried about how she and her brother would handle it. Both Tom and Bündchen did make the kids' well-being their focus, with Bündchen even addressing them in a statement on her Instagram Story. She wrote, (via Today), "My priority has always been and will continue to be our children ... We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention."

Bündchen and Tom did everything they could to make the transition easy on their children, reportedly embracing flexibility when it comes to their arrangement. A source explained to People, "They can see whichever parent they want. They've got a schedule, but neither of them would prevent their kids from seeing the other parent." Another source alleged that the kids had gotten used to their parents living separately before their divorce, and that their dad, especially, tried to do fun activities with them when they were with him.

Of course, following the split, there were rumors that Bündchen and Tom moved on to new love interests. Nevertheless, both insisted that being with their children took precedence over anyone else. Vivian, specifically, has been spotted out alone with both her mom and dad on different occasions, so it appears they've stuck to their word.
