Tom Brady is set to return to Paris for the Olympics later this summer, and his 11-year-old daughter Vivian will be accompanying him.
“It's a lot of fun,” the 46-year-old told People magazine in July about taking the youngest of his three children to the game.
Brady said he and his family, including his 14-year-old son Benjamin and his 16-year-old son Jack, were in Paris for the 24 Hours of Le Mans to support the Hertz JOTA team. The former NFL star has two children, son Benjamin and daughter Vivian, with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, 43, and son Jack with ex-wife Bridget Moynahan, 53.

“That race is amazing,” the former quarterback said of Le Mans. “Hundreds of thousands of people come. It's a road race, but they have grandstands. It's amazing. You don't realize how amazing it is until you get there.”
So does Brady have a favorite sport to watch with Vivian at the Olympics? Gymnastics? Women's basketball?

“I love all sports!” says Brady, who recently took a minority stake in British soccer team Birmingham FC.
“Whether it's a UK soccer team, a racing team like the Hearts Jotta team, a football team, a pickleball team, a women's basketball team or an NFL team, culture is about people, accountability, discipline and leadership,” he says.
He added that his years of being part of a team have helped him in his new endeavors, which include various business ventures, brand ambassadorship, sports team ownership and, this fall, a job as a sports analyst for Fox Sports.
“It’s really about being selfless,” he says. “I was part of a culture where it was about being completely selfless. [famed basketball coach] John Wooden said, “Happiness begins where selfishness ends.”
He continues, “And so did my football teammates. We were just a bunch of guys that liked to hang out together and didn't care who got the credits. We just wanted to win. That's really unique.”
That mentality, he says, will lead to continued success.
“When I think about the next stage of my life after football, the same thing applies – surrounding yourself with great people who support you and give you feedback. If you want to be successful at anything, it's all about the same fundamentals as sport.”
