Tom Brady made a surprise World Cup appearance during the Brazil-Morocco game in New Jersey. Brady surprised for a number of reasons, namely his outfit.
The star was spotted on the Fox broadcast sitting next to his daughter, Vivian. Brady surprised fans by wearing Brazil’s away blue jersey.
The former NFL quarterback does not personally have ties to Brazil. Yet, Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bundchen is from Brazil.
This would explain why the couple’s daughter, Vivian, was wearing a matching Brazil jersey as well. Brady was likely being a good “girl dad” and cheering on Brazil with his daughter.
In addition to the connection with his ex-wife, Brady’s outfit was also a bit startling given his once long-term deal with Under Armour during his career. Brady is no longer with the brand.
Ahead of the World Cup, Brazil announced a collaboration with Jordan Brand, which is under the Nike umbrella, to produce the away jersey that Brady was wearing in the now viral moment.
Brady also shared an adorable secret handshake with his daughter that was shown on the national television broadcast as well.
Here’s a look at the moment that captured the attention of fans.
Tom Brady’s Ex-Wife, Gisele Bundchen, Is From Brazil
Brady and Bundchen announced their divorce in 2022. Bundchen was raised in Horizontina, a small city in Brazil. The former supermodel still loves Brazil but her celebrity status makes it challenging to return.
“Though she loves Brazil, Gisele is simply too recognizable to hit the beach there, and so she has made Costa Rica into a family retreat: Every July, her parents and sisters come to celebrate her birthday and slide into a routine of surfing, horseback rides, and yoga,” Vogue’s Rob Haskell wrote in a 2018 story titled, “Can Gisele Save the Planet?”
Tom Brady Girlfriend Rumors Have Linked Star to Alix Earle
As for who Brady is potentially dating now, there is plenty of speculation. Most recently, Brady has been linked to creator Alix Earle.
Both celebrities have attempted to play coy about their potential romance. Brady downplayed the dating rumors in an interview with People.
“You know what? I don’t have much time for a personal life or much time for myself, but I love working and I love my kids,” Brady told People during a January 14, interview.
“I like to be busy and try to really stay fulfilled in the things I’m doing, so I’m working on some really cool projects and I’m involved with some great teams of people that are doing some really positive things.”
Gisele’s New Husband Is Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Joaquim Valente
Bundchen is now married to her former jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The couple tied the knot in December 2025 and also have a baby together.
“It [marriage] didn’t change their day-to-day life in a big way, but it made things feel more meaningful,” a source told People. “It was a very special moment for them to celebrate with close family and friends.
“They’ll joke about it and say, ‘Now we’ve been married for two months, now three months.’ It’s still new, but it already feels like they’ve built so much together in a short time.”
