Supermodel Gisele Bundchen turns 40 today!

To celebrate the Brazilian model, businesswoman and author's birthday, her husband Tom Brady shared a photo of her with their two children, Benjamin, 10, and Vivian, 7. Brady also has a son, Jack, 12, from a previous relationship.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback included lyrics from Stevie Wonder's famous hit, "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" in the caption of his post.

"'You are the sunshine of my life/That's why I'll always be around/You are the apple of my eye/Forever you'll stay in my heart,'" he wrote.

Bundchen also shared a post of her own to wish her twin sister, Patricia, a happy birthday.

"Today Pati and I get to celebrate four decades of being alive on this amazing planet!" she captioned the post, which featured several photos of the pair. "How lucky I was to be born with my twin and best friend!"

"I am so grateful for all the people who have been a part of my journey," she continued. "My husband, my family (especially my loving children!), my friends and so many others who I never got to meet but who have supported me through all these years. I’m grateful for every experience that has helped shape who I am today."

Bündchen added that her heart is "so full" and she is "looking forward to this new chapter of my life, where I get to use the tools I’ve acquired these past 40 years in service of helping make this world a better place."

In another post shared last week, Bundchen revealed she is celebrating her 40th by planting 40,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest.

"I feel like a whole new chapter of my life is starting, and I wanted to celebrate it in a meaningful way," she wrote alongside a family photo. "I have been planting trees for different projects for years, as I feel that this is the best way I know to give back to Mother Earth."

She explained that she encouraged all of her family and friends to "give something back to our planet" and plant a tree in lieu of gifts on her special day.
