In a heart-wrenching Instagram post on Saturday, power couple Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen shared their deep sorrow over the passing of their cherished family dog, Lulu. The pit bull mix, affectionately nicknamed their “guardian angel,” had been a beloved member of the Brady-Bündchen household since their adoption in 2022, following the couple’s divorce.
Bündchen took to Instagram to express their grief, writing, “Our little Lulu, our guardian angel, has departed for heaven. She will forever reside in our hearts, and we already feel the profound loss. #unconditionallove #RIPLua.” The post included a touching carousel of pictures featuring Lulu alongside the couple’s children, 14-year-old Benjamin Rein and 11-year-old Vivian Lake.
On the same day, Tom Brady paid tribute to Lulu on his Instagram Story, sharing a poignant picture of the dog with the caption “We love you Lua, RIP,” and a separate photo with the words “Forever in our hearts,” accompanied by a heart emoji. A particularly touching video within the story captured Vivian cuddling with Lulu and another puppy, highlighting the deep bond between the family and their furry companion.
Lulu had played a significant role in the Brady family, even post-divorce. The pit bull mix made appearances in Brady’s 2014 Ugg Australia advertisement, showcasing the quarterback’s playful moments as he played fetch with Lulu on the beach. Over the years, Brady consistently shared glimpses of their life with Lulu on social media, creating a special place for the four-legged family member in the hearts of their followers.
As Brady and Bündchen navigate this difficult time, their online tributes stand as a testament to the profound impact Lulu had on their lives. The outpouring of support from fans and followers reflects the universal understanding of the deep bond between humans and their beloved pets, and the Brady-Bündchen family, in particular, mourns the loss of a loyal and cherished companion.
