Tom Brady and ex Bridget Moynahan have reunited to celebrate their son’s latest academic achievement.
“One of the proudest days of my life, watching Jack walk across the stage, and graduate into the next chapter of what’s already an impressive life,” the former NFL quarterback, 48, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, June 13, alongside various photos featuring the pair’s son, John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan, and members of his family.
“You are an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend amongst many other things,” Brady continued in the caption. “What makes me happiest is knowing who you are when no one is watching. The way you show up for your friends. The way you check on people having a hard day. The love you give our family, and the fact that you still let me win in 1v1 every once in a while.”
Brady and Moynahan, 55, welcomed Jack in August 2007, one year after the former couple called it quits. Brady also shares two children, son Benjamin and daughter Vivian, with his ex-wife, model Gisele Bündchen. (Brady and Bündchen, 45, divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage and following the athlete’s first of what turned out to be two NFL retirements.)
“We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way,” the NFL veteran wrote via Instagram shortly after news of his divorce broke.
Bündchen has been candid over the years about the parents’ coparenting relationship and blended family, admitting that meeting the quarterback while his ex-girlfriend was pregnant with his first child wasn’t “the ideal situation.”
“But I’m so grateful for [Bridget],” the former Victoria’s Secret Angel told People in a 2018 interview. “I know this was hard, but I couldn’t imagine my life without [Jack[. I call him my bonus child.”
Brady, who has praised his son Jack for his high school football skills, telling his podcast listeners in October 2022 that the proud dad “loves watching him play quarterback because I think there’s very few things in life that I could probably help him with” — continued to praise his son’s achievements and a boundless future on Saturday in the wake of his graduation.
“This isn’t an ending. It’s a starring line,” Brady continued. “Whatever you chase next we know you’ll find success in. Take the risks. Be kind. Be yourself. And know your family and friends are always right behind you cheering the loudest because you do the same for everybody else! We love you.”
