John, better known as Jack, was born on Aug. 22, 2007, just about a year after Brady and Jack's mother, actor Bridget Moynahan, split up in 2006. Just like his dad, Jack loves football and being active, and Brady has referred to him as "Dad's favorite workout partner."
Jack has continued to pursue athletic pursuits over the years, taking after his dad in that respect. Brady previously shared on an episode of the SiriusXM podcast "Let's Go" that his eldest son has started playing high-school football. "I never imagined him playing football," he said. "So getting out there and watching him play has been so much fun for me."
While Jack mostly plays free safety, sometimes he plays quarterback — which makes his dad happy. "I love watching him play quarterback, because I think there's very few things in life that I could probably help him with," the football icon said. "I don't have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the football. He's way smarter. He's got a great work ethic. He's just a great kid. But I can definitely help him at quarterback."
Brady also said that watching Jack play football is "one of the great highlights of my life," and he added that winning isn't very important to him. "I don't give a sh*t how well he does," he said. "I just love watching him and seeing him enjoy it with his friends." Seeing his son with his high-school teammates brings back some fond memories for the star. "I remember being in high school myself. I loved being out there with my teammates," Brady said. "It's really a treat, as all parents know, watching their kids play."
In February 2023, Brady shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of Jack being taller than retired wide receiver Julian Edelman. "Sorry @edelman11 you stopped growing and now this 15 year old is towering over you ❤️❤️," Brady captioned it. Then, on Aug. 22, Brady celebrated his son's 16th birthday with a heartfelt post — and poked fun at his son's efforts to learn to drive. "16 years of joy with the the ( sweetest, kindest, most loving etc etc 🥰❤️) son, brother, friend and teammate any parent could ever hope for," he wrote. "You have changed our lives since the day you were born and everyday since has been such a blessing for everyone who knows you and is lucky to have you in their life. Now it's time for the next step . . . the learners permit . . . I'm gonna make sure I'm off the road."
Brady and Jack also seem to love to play sports together, though it seems like things can get quite competitive. On Sept. 12, Brady shared several videos and photos of himself and Jack playing basketball. "I'm gonna need a few more sessions to be able to keep up with this kid soon 😂🏀," he wrote in the caption.
