Tom Brady made the most of a belated Christmas with his children, after being forced to skip the big day.
The NFL legend, 45, shares two children – Benjamin and Vivian – with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen 42, as well as son John from a previous relationship.
The former couple ended their relationship in October, after 13 years of marriage – but have remained committed to co-parenting their brood ever since.
Tom previously explained that he would be missing out on their celebrations due to the busy American football schedule, and would instead be celebrating later in the week.
Taking to Instagram, he gave fans a glimpse into how they spent their belated time, including a sweet snap of his three children posing together.
‘Merry Xmas,’ he wrote beside the upload, with a string of heart emoji.

The youngsters could also be seen modeling holiday socks as they settled down for some family time.
Tom discussed his plans for the festive period, explaining that it would be a ‘new experience’ for him after more than a decade of marriage.
Appearing on the Let’s Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray podcast, he said: ‘It’ll be a new experience that I’ve never had before that I’m going to learn how to deal with. And I think that’s what life is about.

‘You just asked a question about what have you learned from this football season? I’m going to learn how to deal with Christmas Eve in a hotel, and I’m going to have to learn how to deal with Christmas and Christmas night and still go out there and be a professional.
‘And then look forward to celebrating Christmas with my kids the day after
‘Which is just part of what football season has been for a long time. So it’s just, again, emotional aspects that allow us to thrive.’
Gisele took Vivian and Benjamin to Brazil for the first part of the holidays, where they spent their days horseback riding, fishing, seeing the sights on their bikes and having picnics.
