Tom Brady shared a heartwarming moment with his son Jack, 17, during a recent NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The retired football star posted a sweet selfie with Jack on his Instagram Story, captioning it, “The luckiest dad in the world,” with three red heart emojis.

In addition to the selfie, the father-son duo was spotted courtside at the game, with Brady later seen tossing a football across the court. The 47-year-old Brady was dressed casually in a black sweater, jeans, and boots, with reading glasses, while Jack wore a sweatshirt, jacket, jeans, and sneakers.
This tender moment comes after Brady recently opened up about the challenges of parenting during an appearance at the Fortune Global Forum in New York earlier this month. The seven-time Super Bowl champion admitted, “Parenting is probably the hardest job that any of us take on, and we’ve made a lot of mistakes, I’ve made a lot of mistakes as a parent.” He emphasized that while there are no “parenting experts,” he strives to be “reliable and consistent” for his children.

Brady is the father of three children: his eldest son Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, and his two younger children, Benjamin (14) and Vivian (11), with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. His candid reflection on fatherhood also included a comment on the challenges his children will face. “It’s tough to be Tom Brady’s son in many ways… I had my challenges growing up… my kids are going to have their challenges… and I’ll be there to support them,” he shared.
Brady’s recent parenting comments come amidst reports that Gisele Bündchen, 44, is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. A source revealed that Brady was “shocked” by the news, noting that although he was aware of the seriousness of their relationship, he never anticipated them having a child together.
Brady and Bündchen, who married in 2009, were reportedly considering expanding their family before their divorce in 2022.
