Tom Brady reveals his dog is a clone of family pet who died in 2023

Tom Brady revealed Tuesday that a young dog of his is actually a clone created from a family pet who died almost two years ago.

In a statement shared by Colossal Biosciences, a company that says it specializes in “species restoration,” Brady thanked it for giving him and his family “a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog.” Brady is an investor in the company.

The original dog, Lua, died in December 2023, according to Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.

On Tuesday, Brady said he “worked with Colossal and leveraged their noninvasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed.” He credited the company with taking just “a few short months” to provide him with the clone, reportedly named Junie.
