A day later on Thanksgiving Day, Gisele made the subtle show of support just a month after announcing their divorce.
This came just as footage of Brady embracing son Jack emerged after the pair practiced together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A clip of the pair at the practice has surfaced with Brady going up to his son from behind and then hugging him in a heartwarming video, before they throw a football on the field together.
Brady, who has shown his support for the USMNT at the World Cup this week, can be seen in the background watching on in his orange No. 12 training jersey.

Brady shares Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. He also has a daughter, Vivian Lake, nine, and son Benjamin Rein, 12, with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, who he divorced from in October after 13 years of marriage.
The 45-year-old also shared a series of photos of Jack at the training to his Instagram story. One featured the same image as his main post, but this time he accompanied it with: ‘Fire that pigskin!!!!’
He also posted a photo of Jack sporting a Buccaneers cap, looking like he is talking to someone, while Brady stands with his back to the camera.
Finally, he posted a photo of his son alongside himself and teammates Ryan Griffin, Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask, with the caption: ‘Just one of the boys.’

Earlier this week, Brady spoke about Thanksgiving and how much the holiday meant to him as a father.
‘I think myself as a parent and being grateful during Thanksgiving, it’s always time for family,’ he said on his Let’s Go! podcast.
‘When you think about this holiday and the commitment that parents make and that my parents made to me and my career is unbelievable.’
Acknowledging his whole family’s role in his 23-season career, Brady said he’s ‘looking forward to finishing strong here after Thanksgiving.’
‘And obviously with a lot of gratitude for the people that have made such a huge impact in my life and supported me throughout this amazing career,’ he continued. ‘I just want to be that for my kids. You know, I just wanna be the best dad I could be.’
Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen divorced in October following 13 years of marriage
Brady and Bundchen confirmed their divorce in Instagram statements in October. She said her priority had ‘always been’ the children, but said the pair had ‘grown apart’. In his statement, Brady said the decision was ‘painful and difficult’
When discussing his Thanksgiving plans, Brady said he’s ‘had a lot of humble pie this year’ and ‘might have to indulge in a little pumpkin pie and whipped cream. I’m going to enjoy it. It’s going to be a good Thanksgiving.’
However, Brady will be celebrating Thanksgiving with one less member of the family this year, after his split from Bundchen.
The NFL superstar and Brazilian supermodel confirmed their split on October 28 following weeks of speculation.
Brady edited Bundchen out of his Twitter header as he removed a beach picture of the former couple and their children.
The Bucs are 5-5 this season following a bye week and early season struggles while Sunday’s opponents are 3-7.
