Tom Brady has revealed that his dog Junie is a clone of his late pet Lua, who died in 2023.

The former superstar quarterback-turned-sports commentator shared the news on Tuesday about his new pitbull mix being a clone of Lua , who was adopted in 2014 by Brady and his then-wife, Gisele Bündchen. Lua passed away a year after the couple’s divorce was finalized in 2022.

Texas-based biotech startup, Colossal Biosciences, was behind the procedure, Brady said.

Brady is an investor in the company, which also announced on Tuesday its acquisition of Viagen Pets & Equine — the world’s leading animal cloning firm, known for creating doubles of Paris Hilton’s dog Diamond and Barbra Streisand’s pup Samantha .
