AceShowbiz - Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are celebrating their daughter's special day. On Vivian Lake's 12th birthday, the retired NFL star and the former Victoria's Secret Angel paid sweet tributes on social media.

On Thursday, December 5, the 47-year-old former professional football player made use of Instagram to publicly wish Vivian a happy birthday. In his new post, he uploaded a series of photos highlighting his young daughter.

One of the pictures captured Vivian flashing her radiant big smile. Another snap, meanwhile, was taken when she went to the Eiffel Tower with her beloved father. Both of them looked happy as they struck a pose in front of the icon of Paris.

Along with the photos, Tom penned a heartfelt message for Vivian in the caption. "Happy 12th birthday to my forever baby girl," the former athlete wrote. "Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life."

"Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you're in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life!" he continued. "Here's to a great day filled with all the laughter and love that you deserve. I love you infinity x infinity!!! [a slew of red heart emojis]."

Later that day, Gisele treated social media users to other rare photos of Vivian. One of the pictures saw the mother and daughter duo resting their back on each other and holding hands as they enjoyed the breathtaking view of the sunset. Accompanying the snap, she wrote, "Happy birthday my ray of sunshine!"

Over two other snaps of Gisele and Vivian together, the healthy lifestyle cookbook author penned, "You are the best daughter a mom could ever ask for and I'm so blessed to be your mama! Te amo muito!"

Tom and Gisele, who ended their marriage in 2022 after tying the knot in 2009, welcomed Vivian together back in 2012. Aside from the young girl, the former couple shares 14-year-old Benjamin Rein together.
