A day after Tom Brady announced he is leaving the New England Patriots after 20 years, the star quarterback's wife, supermodel and author Gisele Bündchen, is paying tribute to the Boston area.

Along with a series of photos featuring memorable moments from the last two decades, Bündchen reflected on how much the city has meant to their family.

"Boston has been so good to us and will always be in our hearts," she wrote. "We will forever have wonderful memories. Our kids were born and raised there and we have made special friendships to last a lifetime."

She added that her family will miss their friends and the time they spent at Gillette Stadium cheering on Brady.

She also shared her gratitude for the Patriots loyal fan base through the years. "Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my husband and our family throughout all these years," she wrote. "We will miss you!"

"❤️❤️❤️❤️ Well said!!! Football and Family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼," her husband commented on her post.

In Brady's note announcing his departure, posted Tuesday, he shared a similar sentiment on how much the fans have meant to him throughout his 20 seasons with the team.

"It has truly been the happiest two decades I could have envisioned in my life and I have nothing but love and gratitude for my time in New England," he wrote. "The support has been overwhelming - I wish every player could experience it."
