The former quarterback celebrated his son marking another year with a heartfelt Instagram post. He shared a carousel of photos and a video that highlights how much Jack Moynahan has grown.

On August 22, 2024, the retired NFL player celebrated his son John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan’s turning a year older. He wrote, “Happy 17th birthday to the kindest, sweetest, most thoughtful 17-year-old, I know.”

Tom expressed his gratitude for watching his son mature into a young man, calling him a true blessing in his life. “Your love of family, friends, school, athletics, hard work and dedication to everything you put your energy into are just some of your amazing qualities,” he praised Jack.

The sports superstar said he loved spending time with his son, cherishing every moment. With a touch of humor, he also noted, “Those are all my favorite things about you. My least favorite is that you can beat me in one on one now 🙄😂) I love you always and forever, happy birthday, Dad. “

In a heartwarming father-son photo on this Instagram post, Tom Brady beams alongside Jack in a selfie. They also share a moment on a golf course, with Jack nearly matching his dad’s height.

Additional images capture Jack with his siblings, Vivian, 11, and Benjamin, 14, as well as a clip of him golfing with his father. The teen is also seen goofing around lifting bags, a sweater, and a suitcase to show off his strength.

Tom had Jack with his former partner Bridget Moynahan and shares Benjamin and Vivian with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on Tom’s son, Jack. One commented, “Is he as tall as Tom? Go Jack! 👏” while another simply noted, “So handsome.”

Many fans see a strong resemblance, with one writing, “He is looking more and more like you. Handsome guy who is blessed with two great parents.”�Another fan expressed admiration for Jack’s looks, saying, “He is the prettiest of the three children.”

Others marveled at the resemblance, with one exclaiming, “Wow, he does look just like his Dad!” Conversely, some felt differently, with one remarking, “Son is better looking,” and another noting, “He doesn’t look like his dad.”

Tom has in the past praised Jack, calling him an “amazing young man.” He revealed that he gets straight A’s and handles himself well in groups of people. “I see him and I’m like, ‘God he is 16, I’m like how are you so mature?'” he questioned.

Tom has also shared that Jack lives in New York City and consistently impresses him. The proud father remarked that his son puts his heart and soul into everything he does, leaving him in awe of who he has become.

The former NFL player fondly remembered the excitement of cheering for Jack during a football game in 2022, describing it as an incredibly enjoyable experience. He reflected on the challenges of fatherhood, emphasizing the importance of being present and available.

Tom acknowledged that maintaining a strong connection with his children is an ongoing effort and a continuous journey. Nevertheless, he is a loving and supportive dad to his three kids. He admitted that he would never pressure them to choose a path of football as he did.

The sports icon wants Jack, a quarterback, to be internally motivated and work hard in something he loves doing, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be football.

“I wouldn’t chose for him to do that because there’s too many crazy expectations that people would put on them, most of them probably very unfair actually,” he noted. Tom added that whatever path his kids would choose, he would be there to support them just as his parents supported him.

However, Tom understands that his children face unique pressures. “There are a lot of expectations because of who their mom or their dad is, and it’s not necessarily fair to them because they didn’t choose that,” he shared.

Tom acknowledged that despite public expectations for them to conform to certain standards, they are simply kids navigating their own lives and friendships.

The football superstar hopes that his sons and daughter develop passions and build strong, supportive friendships.

Tom also values the mothers of his kids. On Mother’s Day, he took to Instagram to honor the special women in his life: his mother and his exes Bridget and Gisele.

With a heartfelt post featuring photos of these influential women, Tom expressed his gratitude. He shared photos of his mother and his children as well as photos of Gisele and Bridget Moynahan with the children he shares with them.

The post was paired with the caption, “Happy Mothers Day to these kind, caring, compassionate, and POWERFUL moms that I’m lucky to have in my life. None of this would be possible without your love ❤️❤️❤️.”

This tribute showcased Tom’s respect and admiration for these women. It also stirred up significant online buzz. The post drew attention from fans across social media.

One fan wrote, “Brady, you’re setting a great example to your children by showing respect to their mother, when you didn’t have to!!” Another follower remarked, “Classy move.” Meanwhile, a third fan praised, “The man is a legit gentleman in all aspects!“

Aside from his tribute, Tom has previously shared insights into his co-parenting philosophy. Reflecting on his responsibilities as a father in an interview, Tom emphasized the importance of instilling strong values in his children.

“I think these kids that come up under your roof, you want to provide them with values, so that when they move forward in their life, they have a real solid base and foundation,” he explained.

Tom and his ex-wife, Gisele, have been managing their parenting duties with a focus on providing a stable and loving environment for their children, Benjamin and Vivian.

Despite their divorce, the pair have a great relationship while raising their children. “We’re never a finished product. The kids aren’t finished products,” Tom remarked.

“At the end of the day, we’re learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with,” Tom added.

Gisele and Bridget, his ex-girlfriend, have publicly shared their experiences and perspectives on co-parenting with Tom. Gisele expressed that managing co-parenting responsibilities comes with its challenges and rewards. While some days are easier than others, she knows she is only in control of her actions.

Meanwhile, Bridget, who shares a son, Jack, with Tom, provided a more reflective insight into their parenting approach. “Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,” she remarked.

She further emphasized the positive environment their son, Jack, is growing up in, saying, “My son is surrounded by love.”

Tom’s Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram was more than just a gesture of appreciation. It was a public affirmation of the values he upholds as a father and a former athlete.
