While Tom Brady is now known for his NFL accomplishments and his relationship with Gisele Bündchen, you may have forgotten that he has a son with Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan. John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan has turned 16, and it’s time to look at what happened to the boy.
Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s Shocking & Unexpected Pregnancy
The arrival of Jack was a shock. Brady and Moynahan had broken up by the time of the pregnancy, so the two had to quickly figure out how they were going to co-parent. Neither parent expected this, but they quickly focused on what was best for their child. That didn’t stop the two from being excited about the birth. According to PEOPLE Magazine, a friend of Moynahan’s said that she was “excited,” knowing that she would be a “great mom.” Brady’s agent, Don Yee, shared that “Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy.”

Jack was born on Aug. 22, 2007, with fans seeing signs that the baby was about to be born. Tobert Kraft, the Patriots owner, had lent Brady his private jet and Brady missed practice that day. However, Brady didn’t make it to the delivery room. He was at St. John’s Medical Center in Santa Monica, California, and then went in afterward.
Tom and Bridget’s Healthy Co-Parenting Relationship
The two celebrities co-parented, with Jack spending most of his time with his mother and currently lives in New York with her, where she films Blue Bloods. However, Brady still played an important part in his life. Moynahan spoke out about how her son had “two loving parents.” She also commented on Bündchen’s role, who stepped in as a stepmother.

There were many reports of problems between mom and stepmom, but that’s not what was going on behind closed doors. Moynahan shut down the rumors as soon as she could. Both of them found partners who supported Brady and Moynahan co-parenting and also loved Jack as their own.
When Bündchen gave birth to her son with Brady, Benjamin, she commented about how good Jack was as a big brother. Jack became Ben’s hero.
What Are Tom Brady’s Son’s, ‘Jack,’ Career Plans?
As much as many would love for Jack to follow his father’s footsteps, Moynahan shared in 2017 that Jack is more interested in playing soccer. He also watched the 2016 Olympics and wanted to win gold in swimming. Brady confirmed Jack’s love for soccer and the idea of becoming an Olympian in 2018, sharing that “He wants to be an Olympics soccer goalie.”
That has changed. In 2023, Moynahan shared that he is more into basketball and lacrosse, according to The New York Post.
That hasn’t stopped Jack from playing football. He plays quarterback on his high school team. This is something that father and son bond over. Jack even signed up to be a ball boy for the Buccaneers in 2021.
What about an acting career? That’s not something Moynahan has influenced. She is focused on him growing up as a kid and finding his own thing. At 16, he doesn’t know what he wants to do yet, according to Moynahan’s interview on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2023, but that’s okay! She has focused on taking him to concerts, with one of his most recent being a Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert. He is also currently learning how to drive now that he has his learner’s permit, according to Page Six.
