Tom Brady’s latest confession has fans doing a double take — and it’s not about football. The retired quarterback just revealed that he cloned his beloved pit bull mix, Lua, after her death, using her blood to bring a nearly identical pup named Junie into his life.
The seven-time Super Bowl champ said he worked with the genetics firm Colossal Biosciences, a company he’s also invested in, to recreate Lua after she passed away in 2023. “I love my animals. They mean the world to me and my family,” Brady shared, explaining that Colossal’s cutting-edge cloning tech gave him “a second chance” to be with his late pet.
Junie — Lua’s lookalike — reportedly joined Brady’s family just months after Lua’s death. The timing coincides with Colossal’s recent acquisition of Viagen Pets and Equine, the same lab responsible for cloning Barbra Streisand’s dog Samantha and two of Paris Hilton’s dogs after her pup Diamond Baby went missing.
Brady first adopted Lua during his marriage to Gisele Bündchen, and the dog quickly became a family fixture — appearing in Brady’s Ugg commercial and countless social media posts. After Lua’s death in December 2023, Bündchen shared a heartfelt tribute featuring photos of the kids cuddling their furry friend.
Now, Brady says Lua’s DNA lives on. “Colossal’s technology gave my family a second chance with a clone of our beloved dog,” he said.
The Dallas-based company isn’t stopping at pets, either — they’re also spearheading wild “de-extinction” projects aimed at bringing back the woolly mammoth, the dire wolf, and even the dodo bird.
Looks like Brady’s post-retirement game plan includes rewriting the laws of life — one cloned pup at a time.
