The result of Lua's genetic cloning is Brady's newest pitbull mix, Junie. Lua died in December 2023 and Junie became part of the Brady family nearly two years ago. Brady shared Lua with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, and their two kids, Benjamin Rein, 15, and Vivian Lake, 12. He announced earlier this week that the new doggie is in fact, a replica.

Junie was cloned using blood samples collected from Lua before her passing.
