Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are both dealing with the devastating feelings that accompany losing a family pet. On Christmas Eve, their family dog Lulu passed away, and they both posted heartfelt condolences to her on social media.
The couple, who had been together for 13 years, had separated a little more than a year before to the loss. Despite their split, they are still there for one another and their two children, 11-year-old Vivian and 14-year-old Benjamin, through this difficult period.
Bündchen used heartwarming images of her kids and their devoted pitbull mix, Lulu, to share the news with her more than 22 million Instagram followers. “Our guardian angel, little Lulu, has ascended to heaven. She will live on in our hearts forever.
We already really miss her! In the caption, the model wrote, “#unconditional love Ripple.” Celebrities like Linda Evangelista offered support to the post, and hundreds of followers expressed their sympathies, touching the heart of the writer.
The former New England Patriots quarterback also posted a touching parting message for Lulu on social media. He included a photo of the puppy with his kids writing, “We love you Lua, Rest in Peace, forever in our hearts,” in one of his stories.
During their marriage, Bündchen and Brady, who declared their divorce in 2022, adopted the pitbull mix. Lulu grew to be a cherished family member over time. In 2014, Brady featured her on social media on a regular basis, and the dog costarred in a TV ad alongside him.
