Tom Brady took home a big win for one of his biggest fans.

On Monday night, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, 45, pulled off a win against the New Orleans Saints and dedicated the moment to daughter Vivian Lake on her 10th birthday.

"Good to get a win at home," Brady said in his post-game interview with ESPN's Lisa Salters. "It's my daughter's birthday, Vivi Lake. Daddy loves you, and hopefully, that's for her."

The NFL star admitted that Vivian was a "little worried when I said we're playing the Saints."

"She said, 'oh no, daddy,' " he added with a laugh.

Earlier on Monday, Brady — who shares Vivian and Ben with ex Gisele Bündchen and also is dad to John "Jack" Edward, 15, with ex Bridget Moynahan — shared a sweet post on Instagram honoring Vivian on her special day.

In the cute shot, Brady embraced Ben and Vivi as the trio spent time together at a holiday market in New York City. The NFL star gave son Ben a kiss on the head while Vivian smiled for the camera and held up peace signs.

"Happy 10th Birthday Vivi! We adore you and your beautiful heart ❤️! You bring so much joy to our life! We love you 🥰," Brady wrote.

Bündchen dropped a single red heart emoji in the comments of the post.
