All-Star Romances

Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots and husband to the ever-lovely Gisele Bundchen, celebrates his 37th birthday today. "He really, genuinely doesn't have a bad bone in his body," Bundchen says of the pro football player. The duo, who are parents to two adorable toddlers, Benjamin and Vivian Lake, (they often make cameos on mom's Instagram!) are undoubtedly a power couple in every sense of the word. Perfect life, wife and kids - we wonder what the birthday boy will wish for this year!
