Tom Brady’s New Dog Is a Clone of Pet He Shared With Ex Gisele Bundchen

Tom Brady wasn’t ready to say goodbye to his late dog Lua — so he took matters into his own hands.

Brady, 48, announced on Tuesday, November 4, that his new dog, Junie, is a clone of pit bull mix Lua, who he shared with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.

The future NFL Hall of Famer made the announcement on the same day that Colossal Biosciences, a biotech start-up in which Brady invests, acquired animal cloning firm Viagen Pets and Equine.

“I love my animals,” Brady said in a statement released by the company. “They mean the world to me and my family. A few years ago, I worked with Colossal and leveraged their non-invasive cloning technology through a simple blood draw of our family’s elderly dog before she passed.”

Tom Brady Jokes He’s ‘Ready’ to Kick Son Jack, 18, ‘Out the Door’

Brady and Bündchen, 45, adopted Lua before their divorce in 2022. Lua died in December 2023. 

“We love you Lua RIP,” Brady wrote via his Instagram Story at the time. Brady also shared a photo of Lua basking in the sun in another post, writing, “Forever in our hearts.”

Bündchen also remembered Lua on social media after her death. 

“Our little Lulu, our guardian angel is gone to heaven,” the supermodel shared via Instagram. “She will forever live in our hearts. We already miss her sooooo much! #unconditionallove RIP Lua 💔.”

Brady and Bündchen filed for divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They share son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12. 

The former NFL quarterback also shares son Jack, 18, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.  

Animals have played a big role in Brady’s life, and he even volunteered at an animal shelter during his time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

After he officially retired from the NFL in February 2023, the wife of former Buccaneers and New England Patriots defensive back Logan Ryan detailed the experience of volunteering with Brady. 

Tom Brady Confuses Viewers by Comparing Slamming a Helmet to Kicking a Dog

“I guess I’ll chime in with my Tom Brady story … but it’s not the one about 7 Super Bowls or being down 28-3 or his last pass as a Patriot. We all know those,” Ashley Ryan shared via Instagram. “It’s the one about the dad who volunteered at the animal shelter with his kids throughout an entire football season. The one where he bonded with his kids over naming puppies and bottle feeding kittens. The one where he silently showed up every other week to make a difference for his family and his community.”

She added, “The one where 2 dads just got to be dads and beamed with pride every time their kids said ‘Please can we just stay a little bit longer?!’ The one where two little girls built a friendship around their love of tiny baby kittens and did their part in making the world a better place for animals.”

Ashley shared that Brady’s volunteer work “wasn’t for publicity” and pictures were hardly taken during their time at the shelter.

“It was about Tom taking the very thing his little girl loves the most and turning it into an opportunity to spend time together,” she wrote. “It was about Tom reaching out to his friend, asking how to get involved, helping his community by giving something far more meaningful than money … his time.”

UTM Parliament leader Kaliati demands fresh investigation on Chikangawa Plane crash

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Leader of UTM in Parliament, Patricia Kaliati, has called on the Minister of Homeland to investigate the circumstances surrounding the plane crash in Chikangawa that claimed the life of late former Vice President Saulos Chilima.

Speaking in Parliament, Kaliati observes that the loss of prominent figures is deeply painful and requires urgent attention.

She urged the minister to ensure that Malawi does not continue losing key human resources in such manner.

The UTM leader in Parliament therefore called for a fresh inquiry, pointing out the need to understand why influential individuals continue to be lost and to hold responsible parties accountable.

On 10 June 2024, a Malawian Defence Force Dornier 228 carrying Vice-President of Malawi Saulos Chilima, former First Lady Patricia Shanil Muluzi, and seven other occupants, crashed in Chikangawa Forest Reserve in Nkhata Bay District; all on board died.

Despite Commission of Inquiry and German Federal agency findings, Malawians remain unsatisfied.

LoP Chithyola unhappy with mistreatment of suspected MCP regime Panga-wielding thugs in police custody

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Leader of Opposition Simplex Chithyola has expressed deep concern over reports of police brutality and what he described as “systematic harassment” of 15 individuals recently arrested and allegedly re-arrested without proper case consolidation.

Speaking in Parliament, Chithyola said it was “regrettably shocking” to hear that the detainees were being mistreated in police custody.

He accused law enforcement agencies of violating human rights and fundamental freedoms.

“Mr Speaker Sir, are we transforming this country into a police state?” he asked. “We have intel that the accused are being physically harassed and assaulted while in custody.”

The opposition leader drew comparisons with incidents under the former DPP administration, where, he said, no arrests were made despite several violent occurrences.

During our time,” Chithyola recalled, “a man was killed in Ndirande there were no arrests. Another was killed in Phalombe still, no arrests. The Presidential convoy was stoned in Chikwawa and Ndirande no arrests.

“Even when MCP supporters were harassed in Thyolo during the commissioning of district offices, no one was detained. Activist Billy Mayaya was assaulted in full view of the police, yet no action was taken.”

Chithyola further questioned the “deafening silence” of Development Partners, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and faith-based institutions on the recent human rights concerns.

“Why are our development partners silent? Why are the CSOs and Human Rights Organizations not speaking out? Why are the churches quiet?” he queried.

The opposition leader also reminded Parliament of unresolved high-profile cases, including the deaths of Robert Chasowa, Issa Njaunju, and the Tambala family, saying no tangible progress had been made to bring the perpetrators to justice.

“Can the DPP government, with the same vigour and energy used in arresting political opponents, investigate and bring to book those behind these tragic incidents including the recent assault of Mr. Kasakula at MBC?” Chithyola asked.

Turning to governance and service delivery, Chithyola lamented the persistence of social challenges such as fuel shortages, power blackouts, and water supply interruptions, despite government promises to address them.

He also condemned political victimization within the public service, warning that Malawians should not bear the cost of unjust suspensions and dismissals.

“As per President Peter Mutharika’s own pronouncements in the State of the Nation Address, we must unite in pursuit of socio-economic and governance needs,” he said.

In his closing remarks, Chithyola pledged that the opposition would continue to play a constructive role in national development.

“Mr Speaker Sir, let me assure this House that the opposition will not oppose for the sake of opposing. We will offer constructive alternatives, support policies that serve the national interest, and work towards a Malawi that is united, prosperous, and just.”

Echoing the same concerns, Member of Parliament for Zomba Malosa, Grace Mkwelepeta, criticized the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) for expressing outrage over the recent arrests, saying the party had turned a blind eye to similar acts of lawlessness during its own tenure.

“The MCP should not be overly concerned about the current arrests,”

“When they failed to act against the same gangs who invaded Parliament during the administration of former President Lazarus Chakwera,”said Mkwelepeta.

2025 TNM Super League: Wanderers, Ekhaya FC match abandoned over torrential rainfall

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The highly anticipated TNM Super League clash between Mighty Wanderers and Ekhaya FC ended abruptly on Wednesday afternoon after heavy rains rendered the Kamuzu Stadium pitch unplayable.

The game, which had attracted few of passionate supporters from both sides, was called off in the 51st minute following a torrential downpour that flooded large parts of the pitch.

At the time of abandonment, neither side had managed to break the deadlock with the scoreline standing at 0–0.

The match officials initially halted play temporarily to assess the situation, hoping the rain would subside.

However, after a prolonged delay and worsening pitch conditions, referee Honest Maulana was left with no choice but to officially stop the match.

Following the decision, officials from the Super League of Malawi (SULOM), the match commissioner and representatives from both teams held an emergency meeting to determine the next course of action.

The discussion reportedly centered on player safety, pitch condition and possible rescheduling options.

The match becomes the first fixture of the 2025 TNM Super League season to be abandoned due to weather-related issues.

Fans expressed disappointment but acknowledged that the safety of players and officials must come first.

As of Wednesday evening, SULOM had not yet released an official statement on when or how the match will be concluded.

The abandoned match has sparked debate among fans about the state of football infrastructure in Malawi with many calling for improved drainage systems at stadiums to avoid similar disruptions in the future.

Malawi Paralympic Committee up with Before, After Sports initiative

LILONGWE-(Maravipost)-
The Malawi Paralympic Committee (MPC) has announced plans to introduce vocational training for para-athletes under the Before Sports, After Sports program.

The initiative was unveiled last Friday at Malingunde School for the Blind in Lilongwe by the organization’s Treasurer, Joseph Galanje, during the commemoration of Paralympic Month.

Galanje explained that the initiative will help athletes earn a decent living after their sports careers end.

“We have launched the Before Sports and After Sports initiative because we want to see how best we can assist a person with disability before they become an active player or athlete.

“We are also looking at outcomes after they have been active for some time so that they don’t struggle. We will be providing vocational training so they can learn a trade,” Galanje said.

Speaking at the ceremony, Sports Council Development Officer Fanny Phiri, who was the guest of honour, praised the organization’s leadership for introducing the initiative, which will have a positive impact on para-athletes.

“The initiative is a great idea. You are taking care of para-athletes at the grassroots level when they are very young, and also ensuring their welfare after sports. This is one way of encouraging boys and girls to take sports seriously, knowing they will be well taken care of.

“Let me also commend you for these celebrations where you are promoting inclusive sports. We will always support you,” Phiri stated.

The para-athletics celebrations featured sports activities involving both children with disabilities and able-bodied learners.
