When asked if he considers himself a strict parent, Brady, 41, told PEOPLE in October 2016 that he thinks there’s a difference between being too tough and being consistent with rule enforcing.
“I wouldn’t say strict, but I’d say disciplined, because there are definitely times when they get over on their dad,” said the father of three, admitting he’s not at all tough on Vivian. (He also shares 8½-year-old son Benjamin Rein with Bündchen and son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 11, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
“No way. It’s too hard — she’s too cute, and she just says, ‘Dad, please?’ and I say ‘Okay,’ ” he confessed. “My wife always says, ‘You gotta be tougher on her!’ and I say, ‘I can’t.’ [Vivian]’s, like, half my wife, so you know … that’s just the way it goes.”

But figuring out how to balance a happy relationship with work and parenting has been worth it. As the mother of two (and stepmom of one) explained, “When someone you love is happy, it makes you happy, or if they’re sad it makes you sad. You suffer with them and you have joy with them.”
