Tom Brady, a name synonymous with football greatness, is widely recognized as a seven-time Super Bowl champion and the ex-husband of supermodel Gisele Bundchen. However, Tom Brady’s family life includes three children with two different women.
Let’s delve into the lives of Tom Brady’s children, exploring their stories and how they fit into the world of the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.
Tom Brady’s Ex-Wives and Kids
Despite Tom Brady’s undeniable achievements on the football field, his beautiful kids take the number one spot in his heart. After retiring from the sport, he tries to spend as much time with them as he can manage. Brady, who married supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2009, announced his divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have two children: a son named Benjamin Rein and a daughter named Vivian Lake. Brady also has a son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan, whom Bündchen raised as a stepmother.

Jack and His Relationship with Gisele
As mentioned before, Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, is the stepmother of Jack’s eldest child, who is sixteen years old and was born in August 2007. He was born after Brady had just started dating Bündchen in early 2007.

Though her official title was stepmother, she preferred that Jack called her his “bonus mom,” revealing Jack and Bündchen’s close family bond despite their unique family structure. Bündchen 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. Also, I feel so lucky that I got to have an extra wonderful little angel in my life.”
Brady and Moynahan’s Co-parenting
While his real name is John Edward Thomas Moynahan, he goes by Jack. Despite their split, Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan are amicable and co-parent Jack very well together. Brady even regularly wishes Moynahan a happy birthday and happy Mother’s Day on his Instagram account, which serves as a testament to their good relationship.
Jack does not spend all of his time with his dad since Brady and Moynahan share joint custody. However, Brady still ensures that they spend quality time together.
Brady and Jack’s Relationship
They love traveling together, and Brady takes Jack on some really cool trips, including to South America and China. Brady lovingly refers to Jack as his “good luck charm in life.”
Jack’s Interests
Brady is Jack’s biggest role model. Jack takes after his father, wanting to pursue his own career in professional football, (or soccer or swimming), after being deeply involved with sports so much throughout his life.
Benjamin Brady
After marrying in 2009, Tom Brady and Gisele had their first child, son Benjamin Brady. He was born in Boston in December 2009 and is 14 years old.
Interestingly, he was not born in a hospital but in the bathtub of Brady and Bündchen’s house.
Benjamin and His Relationship with Mom
Being from Brazil, Bündchen speaks her native language, Portuguese, to Benjamin. While he understands, he does not usually speak Portuguese himself.
Benjamin’s Hobbies and Interests
He has warmed up to sports over the years, enjoying football, skiing, cycling, hockey, swimming, golfing, and other activities, but he was not always like that. He was not interested in sports when he was younger, much to his father’s surprise.
Even though he has a major celebrity for a father, he still gets starstruck occasionally. Tom Brady says Benjamin’s favorite celebrity is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Benjamin and Jack are both homeschooled, which probably saves them from dealing with some starstruck classmates. Outside of sports and school, Benjamin enjoys cartoons and pizza. Pizza is a special treat since it does not adhere to the family’s strict no-junk-food diet.

Vivian Brady
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady’s second child together, daughter Vivian Lake Brady, stole Brady’s heart. She was born in Boston in December of 2012 during another home birth, with her birthday being only three days before Benjamin’s.
Vivian and Her Dad
She is their first daughter, and as his first and only girl, Brady says that he has a soft spot for Vivan and spoils her, though he loves his children equally. Brady admits, “I let my daughter do basically anything she wants, which is a little bit of a problem in the house… the boys I’m definitely tougher on… she knows exactly what to say to get her dad to do exactly what she wants.”
Don’t Expect a Career in Sports from Vivian
While Jack looks like his father, Vivian takes more after her mother. At 11, she has not yet taken much interest in sports, even though she must have a genetic predisposition for them. Though she does not love football, she used to love to cheer her dad on during the Superbowl and is always incredibly proud of him.
Vivian’s Hobbies and Interests
She loves the beach, baking, yoga with her mom, and playing outside with her brother and half-brother. Like her mother, she has taken an interest in fashion and modeling. Tom Brady posts her regularly on his Instagram account, so there is plenty of adorable documentation of her doing all those activities there.
More on Jack, Tom Brady’s Son from a Previous Marriage
John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan, the son of NFL legend Tom Brady and actress Bridget Moynahan, celebrated his 17th birthday in August 2024. Jack has captured attention with his performance as a high school football team quarterback, following in his father’s footsteps. Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, has praised Jack for his strong work ethic and intelligence.
On Jack’s 16th birthday in August 2023, Brady took to Instagram to celebrate. He posted photos with Jack and one of Jack with his younger siblings, expressing pride and love. “16 years of joy with the best son, brother, friend, and teammate any parent could ever hope for,” Brady wrote. “You changed our lives the day you were born, and every day since has been such a blessing. Now it’s time for the next step… the learner’s permit.”
Initially anxious about fatherhood, Brady has embraced his role as a dad. He lived in Massachusetts during his time with the New England Patriots but moved to Florida after joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also keeps a presence in New York City to stay close to Jack, who lives primarily with Moynahan and her husband, Andrew Frankel.
Both Moynahan and Gisele Bündchen, Brady’s former wife, have openly shared their experiences with co-parenting and their blended family dynamics. In a 2018 interview, Bündchen revealed that she started dating Brady when Moynahan was pregnant. Despite the initial challenges, Bündchen expressed gratitude for Moynahan and warmly referred to Jack as her “bonus child.”
