Tom Brady's Oldest Son Jack Is His Twin
Tom Brady is never shy about being a family man. He is a father of three, sharing Benjamin and Vivian with wife Gisele Bündchen, and his oldest son Jack with actor Bridget Moynahan. Naturally, the question of kids following the legacy of their talented and very famous folks can create a good amount of pressure, but it seems like Jack has always been athletic. In 2017, however, Moynahan said on "Live Kelly" that her son was more interested in soccer and swimming than playing football, but things seem to be shifting as he gets older.
With an easy love of many sports, the teen got a step closer to the world of football by assisting during Buccaneers practices. Jack's work as the team's ball boy meant more valuable father-son time. "The more I get to do with him the better it is," Brady said at a media availability in 2021, according to NBC Sports. "We have a great time together and it's really a treat for me to have him. He thinks it's fun but it's probably way better for me having him out here. It's really, really cool."
Now, a year older and following Brady's reinvigorated return from retirement, Jack is looking more and more like his dad and continues to explore sport interests. Could this be the early phases of a run for the NFL?
Tom Brady's son Jack may be following in his footsteps
Tom Brady has shared another sweet family moment to social media. The NFL star posted a few photos and clips of an active day with his eldest son Jack on Instagram. When the two stand together, Jack is already catching up to his dad's height at the age of 14. The duo is all smiles in a short clip of their basketball game and in another, Jack throws a football to Brady — the one man that could definitely offer some helpful pointers.
"Dad still wins for now.. I don't love my chances next year though," the quarterback wrote in the caption. Fans cannot get over how much Jack looks like the football pro. One person commented, "Twinning!!!" while another wrote, "That boy is going to turn 20 and people will ask if he's your brother."
On an episode of the podcast "Let's Go! with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray," the quarterback expressed wanting Jack to attend his alma mater, University of Michigan. Gisele Bündchen told her husband to pump the brakes on pushing his son in any specific direction, however. He recalled her saying, "Just let him be what he wants to be, for God's sake." That is some sound advice, but practice with dad and experience on the field may be enough to point the next generation of Brady in that direction.
Tom Brady brought son Jack to Snoop Dogg's party
Following a win for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in October 2021, the team uploaded a snap of Tom Brady and his son Jack spending quality time together to their Instagram Stories. The quarterback shared the photo to his own Instagram Stories and added, "Best part of my day" (via People). A couple days later, Brady recalled how the father-son duo spent quality time together at a party hosted by Snoop Dogg.
The party took place in 2019 when Jack was only 11 years old and it was a bonding experience for the pair. "It was midnight. It was in our hotel. So, we had this special spot on the stage. Snoop had a pole up and there was some girls, they were clothed," Brady recalled on his "Let's Go!" SiriusXM radio show in October 2021. The NFL legend was nervous about over-exposing his young son. "But, at the same time, there was a pole and my son ... And I said, 'Jack, cover your eyes,'" Brady explained, although Jack reassured his dad that he could handle the festivities.
Even though he brought his eldest son to one, Brady mostly steered clear of wild parties in his youth. In 2019, the quarterback spoke about how Jack's passion for sports mirrored his own. "That was me. I'd wake up early on weekends to do stuff with my dad," Brady told Men's Health. "That's why I didn't party a lot," he added. Jack followed in his dad's footsteps more closely than Brady's other son.
How Tom Brady bonds with Jack
Tom Brady and his son Jack have used various sports to bond, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star has had to take a different approach with his other son, Benjamin. "When Benny came along, I thought he would be just like Jack," Brady explained to Men's Health in 2019, while discussing how Benjamin had different interests. "So I was like, 'C'mon, let's do this.' And he was like, 'Nope.' And I was like, 'What? No, do this!'" Brady joked how his younger son loved the "Jumanji" movies. "Benny would rather hang out with [Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson] than me, clearly, as you can see, which I love."
Over the years, Brady and Jack have spent quality time while competing against one another. The quarterback uploaded photos of him and his eldest son hitting the links in 2020. "Love my golf partner!!!" Brady wrote on his Instagram Stories while uploading a snap of his son hitting a shot (via the New York Post).
When Jack turned 14, Brady gave him a special golf-themed birthday shoutout on Instagram while throwing a fatherly dig at his son. "I am so proud of the young man you are," Brady wrote alongside a photo of Jack standing on a green. "This picture brings back some special memories and I can't wait to kick your butt on the golf course again soon," the seven-time Super Bowl champion playfully added.
