Brady and Bündchen's first child together, Benjamin, was born on Dec. 8, 2009, and was given a middle name that honors Bündchen's father's middle name, Reinoldo (after Brady vetoed the first name River!). Unlike his older brother, Benny isn't into sports, which Brady had to work to accept as a famous athlete himself. "It was hard for me . . ., " Brady told Men's Health of accepting Ben's interests. "The reality is that Benny just likes different things. And it's great because now I just have to go do what he wants to do. When we do that, we have the best time. He's like, 'OMG, Dad, you're so funny.' He loves joking, and I joke back."
On Benny's 12th birthday, Brady shared a sweet message for his boy, writing: "Happy Birthday Benny! You are A M A Z I N G in every way. You have taught me so much and I am so blessed to be your dad! ❤️❤️❤️"
