Tom Brady’s oldest son is John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan. He was born in 2007, a product of Brady’s relationship with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
Jack was born shortly after they separated in 2006. At the time, Brady had already moved on with supermodel Gisele Bündchen, and according to a 2020 interview with Howard Stern, Moynahan’s pregnancy shocked him. Here’s all we know about the celebrity kid.
Tom Brady’s Oldest Son Challenged Him With His Arrival
Speaking about Jack, Brady said learning about him was shocking. However, he took responsibility. “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.”
Brady also mentioned how tough it was for the boy’s mother because she did not see it coming. Nevertheless, Brady rose to the challenge and has been enjoying fatherhood. He also called his son “the greatest kid you could ever ask for.”

The sentiment is mutual, too, and Jack has reportedly grown up to become a carbon copy of his father. The two have a lot in common, such as his passion for sports, his first job with the NFL, and his love for his family.
The father-son duo have spent even more time together since Brady announced his retirement from the NFL in February 2023. Tom Brady’s oldest son also enjoys a great relationship with his mother, Moynahan. In September 2023, she talked about how they often bond over music at the Global Citizen’s Festival.
“I get to introduce the Red Hot Chili Peppers to my son, and he’s introducing me to some of the other artists and D-Nice and everybody,” she said, referring to the artist lineup for the festival. She also mentioned how “nice” it was that they could “come together at different ages” to share their music tastes.
Tom Brady’s Oldest Son Has a Good Relationship With His Stepmom
Tom Brady was with Bundchen when he discovered he had a child with Moynahan. According to Bündchen, in 2015, 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 on CBS’ “This Morning.” “So, then I felt like I didn’t know what to do … Do I just run away?”
She chose to stick it out till the end, and the outcome greatly pleased her. “I think, now, eight years later, I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter bonus child,” she said. In February 2020, she revealed more details about their relationship in response to an Instagram fan asking 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.” Despite her split from Brady, Bundchen has continued supporting Jack. In November 2022, she left a sweetheart comment on an Instagram post the retired NFL star shared of Jack.
In March 2023, Bündchen told Vanity Fair that Jack’s arrival 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].”

Brady believes Jack can do well and has often praised him. “[He has] great hand-eye coordination. He actually moves better than I did at his age,” he once said.
