Exes Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are in mourning this holiday season.

The supermodel and NFL legend's family dog Lua, nicknamed Lulu, has died.

"Our little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven," Gisele wrote on Instagram Dec. 23. "She will forever live in our hearts."

The 43-year-old, who had adopted Lua with Tom in 2014 when they were married, included in her post throwback photos of herself and her and Tom's kids Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, embracing their beloved pet. She also shared pics of the pooch with her dog sibling Fluffy.

"We already miss her sooooo much!" Gisele wrote. "#unconditionallove RIPLua."

Tom also shared a tribute to their dog. "We love you Lua RIP," he wrote on his Instagram Stories, alongside a pic of the kids with their furry family member.

He also posted a pic of Lua sitting, writing, "Forever in our hearts."

This marks the second holiday season for Tom and Gisele since they finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

Meanwhile, Tom has been spending quality time with the kids on family vacations. In November, he shared photos of himself boating with Benjamin and Vivian. On Dec. 23, the same day he and Gisele announced Lua's death, the athlete shared on his Instagram Stories photos of himself and the kids on a ski trip.
