The 47-year-old footballer remembered his time with the New England Patriots

Tom Brady chose to emotionally remember his time with the New England Patriots and celebrate those close to him with a loving photo of his three children, as the seven-time champion takes a trip down memory lane.

The ex-NFL star posted a framed snap of himself, Benjamin, Vivian and Jack from September 2023 when he was celebrated at the Gillette Stadium for his success with the team between 2000-2019.

“My everything’s. So many special memories,” Brady wrote to Instagram Stories, in a message as much to fans of the New England side as it was to his children via Bridget Moynahan (Jack) and Gisele Bundchen.

The post is another sign that the football star has finally patched things up with Robert Kraft and Bill Belichick after a somewhat sour end to his time in Massachusetts, where he was ushered towards the exit door.

He headed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won one more Super Bowl before finally calling time on his career at the end of 2022, as he had to navigate his divorce from Bundchen.

Brady honored by New England

However, things are all good now between Brady and the Patriots, and he was even honored in September 2023 when Kraft announced he would waive the four-year waiting period to add the star to their hall of fame.

He was also instantly inducted without a ballot process on June 12, 2024 and he became the first person ever inducted within the Gillette Stadium itself. He will also get a 12ft tall statue of himself at the Patriots Hall of Fame building.

“All our lives take us on different journeys,” Brady said at his induction. “They take us to different places. They bring different people into our lives.

“But one thing I am sure of, and that will never change, is that I am a Patriot for life.”

Brady now works for FOX Sports as an NFL analyst and is also competing against New England again, this time as a minority owner and executive for the AFC West’s Las Vegas Raiders.
