Tom Brady is a dad of three, but it was his first child, John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan, who first gave the retired NFL player the title.
Brady welcomed Jack in 2007 with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, shortly after they had broken up in 2006. Brady had already moved on with supermodel Gisele Bündchen, and he admitted to Howard Stern in 2020 that Moynahan's pregnancy was a shock.
"Next thing you know, I found out that Bridget was pregnant with our son," he said. "So that was a very unique time … and it challenged me in a lot of ways, again, to grow up in a different way. It was very hard for my wife to think she fell in love with this guy, and then now this guy's ex-girlfriend's pregnant."
"And it was very challenging for my son's mom, you know, because she didn't envision that either," he added.
Still, Brady took the challenge in stride and has loved being Jack's dad, calling him "the greatest kid you could ever ask for."
When Jack graduated from high school in June 2026, Brady and Moynahan reunited to celebrate the milestone.
Here's everything to know about Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan's son, Jack.

Moynahan and Brady welcomed their only child together at St. John's Medical Center in Santa Monica, Calif. Even before his birth, Brady was looking forward to becoming a dad. "Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy," his agent, Don Yee, said in a statement in February 2007.
A friend of Moynahan's also told PEOPLE she was "so excited about the pregnancy" because she "[knew she would] be a great mom."
Fans had a feeling the baby was coming when Brady was absent from practice that same day, and The Boston Globe reported that Patriots owner Robert Kraft lent him his private jet to get across the country more quickly.
By the end of the day, Moynahan had given birth to her son. "Mother and baby are doing well," her publicist, Christina Papadopoulos, told PEOPLE.
In 2011, the actress shared more details about Jack's birth. "[Tom] was not in the [delivery] room," she told More magazine. "He was there on that day and came in afterwards. He certainly wasn't holding my hand while I pushed."
Brady said Jack's birth changed his life
In May 2023, Brady posted a video on Instagram as part of a promotion for his apparel company. In the clip, Brady and his father, Tom Brady Sr., talk about their kids.
"When my son Jack was born in 2007, my life changed forever," the athlete says in the video. "Nothing is more important to me than being a father."
"As much as things changed when Jack was born, when Benny came along in 2009, he brought so much joy to my life," Brady added. "And then when Vivi was born in 2012, those three are my biggest inspirations. I try to go out there every day to make them proud."

While Jack grew up living mostly with his mother, it was still important to both of his parents that he shared a close relationship with Brady and his then-wife, Bündchen.
"My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends," Moynahan told More in 2011. "My son is surrounded by love."
And she was determined to keep it that way, explaining that she has "a relationship with [Brady and Bündchen] on a daily basis … The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life."
Years later, in 2019, Moynahan revealed she was grateful for the support of Brady's former spouse in raising Jack. "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 told PEOPLE. "I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love."

Bündchen admitted in 2015 that she considered leaving Brady when she learned his ex was pregnant just a few months into their relationship. "It was a challenging thing because here I am, I'm dating this guy, everything is great and then this happens," she said during an interview with CBS This Morning's Charlie Rose. "So, then I felt like I didn't know what to do … Do I just run away?"
Instead, she decided to see it through, and is grateful for the outcome. "I think, now, eight years later, I couldn't have asked for a sweeter bonus child," she said.

In February 2020, she opened up more about their tender relationship. When a fan on Instagram asked how it feels being a stepmom to Jack, she said, "I don't like the word 'stepmom.' I like the word 'bonus mom' because I feel like it's a blessing in my life. I feel so lucky that I got to have an extra wonderful little angel in my life."
The former Victoria's Secret model has continued to show support for her bonus son in the wake of her divorce from Brady. In November 2022, she left a sweet heart comment on an Instagram post Brady shared of Jack.
In March 2023, Bündchen told Vanity Fair that Jack's presence in her life "awakened" her desire to become a mom.
"Jack came into our lives and I felt so blessed," she said. "I've always dreamed of being a mom, but I think that happened a little faster than I thought [it would]."
Jack is a blossoming athlete in his own right

Jack is a natural-born athlete and has played several sports, though football seems to be his priority as of late. In 2017, however, Moynahan revealed that at the time, he was much more interested in soccer.
"I think right now he wants to be a professional soccer player," she said on Live with Kelly. "Though after the Olympics he's like, 'I think I'm going to win a gold in swimming.' Then it was Michael Phelps. So I think he just likes awards."
"I think [the kids are] into watching [football] because of their dad, but … My oldest son Jack really loves soccer. He wants to be an Olympics soccer goalie," Brady told PEOPLE a year later in 2018.
During Jack's high school career, he followed in his dad's footsteps and played the same position on his school's football team. "I love watching him play quarterback because I think there's very few things in life that I could probably help him with," Brady said during his SiriusXM podcast Let's Go with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray in October 2022. "You know, I don't have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the football. He's just a great kid. But I can definitely help him at quarterback."
At the time, Brady said he could already see Jack's skills growing. "[He has] great hand-eye coordination. He actually moves better than I did at his age," he said.
The duo also enjoys playing other sports together, like golf. For Jack's 14th birthday in August 2021, Brady shared a photo of his son on a golf course on Instagram. "This picture brings back some special memories and I can't wait to kick your butt on the golf course again soon 🤣!" he captioned the post.
Brady and Jack both appreciate some healthy competition. In April 2022, the NFL player posted videos of him and Jack playing basketball together, along with a teasing caption: "Dad still wins for now. I don't love my chances next year though."
Still, Moynahan doesn't want Brady's athletic background or her acting career, to influence what Jack does when he grows up. "I really think that he's kind of like that normal kid who doesn't really know what he wants to do yet and I think that's okay," Moynahan said during a June 2023 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark. "I certainly don't want to put any pressure on him to do what I do or what his father does."

While Brady is happy to support any of his kids' dreams, he admitted in October 2022 that watching his son play the sport he loves most has been especially thrilling.
"I think one of the great highlights of my life is watching him play and him grow and develop, and my kids in general, too," he said on an episode of his SiriusXM podcast Let's Go with Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray. "So I love watching him kind of dig deep and especially [play] team sports."
Since Jack showed more interest in other activities as a kid, the Buccaneers star "never imagined" his son would follow in his football footsteps.
"Getting out there and watching him play has been so much fun for me," he added. "And I don't give a s--- how well he does. I just love watching him and seeing him enjoy it with his friends. And, you know, the camaraderie at a young age."
On a Jan. 9, 2023, episode of his Let's Go podcast, Brady talked about shifting priorities during his career and deciding whether or not to play in another NFL season. He said "there's nothing to me more important than my kids," before explaining that he wants to watch his son play football more often.
"I wanted to be there to watch him play," the athlete explained. "I said, 'I don't give a s––– if you come see my games anymore. No! I want to see your stuff.'"

When Jack graduated from high school, Brady called it "one of the proudest days of my life."
"You are an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend amongst many other things," Brady wrote in a post on Instagram where he shared photos from the family's celebration. "What makes me happiest is knowing who you are when no one is watching. The way you show up for your friends. The way you check on people having a hard day. The love you give our family, and the fact that you still let me win in 1v1 every once in a while."
