On his daughter’s special day, Brady is beaming with joy at all she has done.

‘It’s getting big for Tom Brady’s little girl!

The 46-year-old former NFL player wrote a touching Instagram post about his daughter Vivian Lake, who is 11 years old today.

The proud dad wrote, “” along with pictures of the two of them over the years. “Happy 11th birthday to the nicest little angel I know”

It makes me so happy to see you grow into the wonderful person you are. “You are always a bright star for all of us,” he said. “Girl, keep shining and never stop being the one-of-a-kind person you are.” “I love you more than the moon and back! “

In October, the former Suρer Bowl champion shared videos of his daughter making great progress while practicing jumps on a horse.

As her dad cheered her on, the pre-teen could be seen practicing her riding skills in full gear.

“All love, all the time, for this one,” he wrote next to a picture of Vivian riding her horse. He then sent her a video of herself doing a jump and wrote, “LFG Girlie Girl .”

Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen have a daughter named Vivian and a son named Benjamin, who will be 14 this month. He also has a 16-year-old son named Jack with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

The father of three told PEOPLE in February that he was grateful for the time he has with his children now that he is not in the NFL.

His words, “Man, your kids teach you so much,” “You get to learn through new experiences with them and they’re the biggest blessing of my life.”
