Bridget Moynahan Gives Rare Update on Raising Her and Tom Brady's Son Jack

Tom Brady is suiting up to tackle a new era of parenting as his and ex Bridget Moynahan's 18-year-old son Jack finishes his senior year.

"I’ve got a kid who’s graduating from high school soon," the Blue Bloods star said on the Oct. 6 episode of Kristin Davis’ podcast Are You a Charlotte?, explaining her plans to take some time off work. "I’m just leaning into that."

As for Jack's game plan, Tom wouldn’t mind if it involved his alma mater, the University of Michigan.

"He got game 100 [percent]," the former quarterback wrote on Instagram in July alongside footage of the teen playing basketball. "Future Wolverine @UMichBBall."

But no matter where Jack ends up, he’ll always be close to Tom’s heart. Quite literally, the seven-time Super Bowl champ recently sharing a photo of his necklace honoring Jack along with son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12, from his former marriage to Gisele Bündchen. As he wrote in the Oct. 3 Instagram Story, his kids are, "Forever in my heart."

And Tom will forever be on a coparenting team with Gisele and Bridget.

"When you decide to have children, that's a big undertaking, and I don't think you take it lightly," the athlete told Entertainment Tonight in 2023, less than a year after his and Gisele’s divorce. "And I think these kids that come up under your roof, you want to provide them with values, so that when they move forward in their life, they have a real solid base and foundation. And I think myself and their mom have done an amazing job of providing that, and I think that we're just gonna keep doing it."

Even when there are fumbles in life, the family gets back in the game.

"We're never a finished product," he continued. "The kids aren't finished products. At the end of the day, we're learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with."

So, huddle up, because we're breaking down the Xs and Os of their blended family tree.

Tom Brady

Few quarterbacks have tackled what Tom Brady has achieved.

During his 23 seasons in the league—20 with the New England Patriots and three with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—the athlete won seven Super Bowls. And after retiring and then unretiring in 2022, he hung up his helmet for good the following year.

But his favorite teammates in life are his children. Tom shares son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan (the two split in 2006 after almost three years of dating) and kids Benjamin and Vivian with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen (the pair divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage).

"Spending time with my kids is a great thing for me," the sports broadcaster told E! News in 2023. "They bring so much to my life, and they add so much joy and energy and life and intensity and maturity. You see them mature in different ways, and I just want to be there to support them as best I can."

Bridget Moynahan

As a star on Blue Bloods for more than a decade, Bridget knows a thing or two about drama. But the media frenzy she faced in 2007 after the world learned she was pregnant with Tom’s child—months after their relationship ended and his romance with Gisele began—was a whole different level.

"I would have cars following me, and men hiding in the bushes outside my house," the actress recalled to People in 2019. "As a new mother, you want to just protect your child. That kind of attention felt like a threat."

Because after Jack arrived in August 2007, she, Tom and Gisele eventually settled in to a co-parenting rhythm.

"Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own," Bridget added. "I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love."

Andrew Frankel

For Bridget, her most valuable teammate is Andrew Frankel. The I, Robot star wed the businessman in 2015, becoming stepmom to his three sons.

"What I learned was sometimes you have to fish in another pond, as the saying goes," Bridget told Glamour in 2021. "I had been dating people in the industry. I met a really solid, good human being with none of the pretension or all that other litter. He's a really good person and a good partner. I don't think as a younger person I understood what that meant when it pertains to real-life situations."

Jack

John Edward Thomas Moynahan (a.k.a. Jack) entered the world in August 2007.

"You have changed our lives since the day you were born," Tom wrote on Instagram for Jack's 16th birthday in 2023, "and everyday since has been such a blessing for everyone who knows you and is lucky to have you in their life."

In fact, Gisele—who's called Jack her "bonus child"—has shared how his arrival led her and Tom to reevaluate their timeline for growing their family.

"I credit Jack with accelerating Tom's and my growing up in so many ways," she wrote in her 2018 book Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life. "The two of us agreed that Jack should have siblings closer to his own age, and not 10 years younger. With Jack in our lives, our priorities definitely started to shift."

And while Jack is athletic like his dad (though it appears he's more into basketball and lacrosse), his parents have made it clear they want him to pursue his own path.

"He’s kind of like that normal kid who doesn’t really know what he wants to do yet, and I think that’s OK," Bridget said on Live With Kelly and Mark in 2023. "I certainly don’t want to put any pressure on him to do what I do or what his father does."

Gisele Bündchen

After being set up on a blind date in December 2006, Gisele and Tom wed in February 2009. The Brazilian supermodel and the football pro welcomed son Benjamin at the end of that year followed by daughter Vivian in 2012.

And after years of ruling the runway, Gisele took a step back to focus on her family.

"My world was them," the fashion icon told Vanity Fair in 2023. "Do you know how grateful I am that I got that time for myself? I breastfed my kids until they were almost 2 years old. I was taking them to school every day. I was making them breakfast, lunch… I was there."

Though it was game over for Gisele and Tom when they divorced in October 2022, she called foul on rumors they split because he reversed his 2022 retirement and played for one last season. "It's not so black and white," she insisted to the magazine, sharing that they'd simply grown apart.

After the breakup, Gisele grew closer to family jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. And in February 2025, the couple added to their roster by welcoming their first baby.

Benjamin

Born in December 2009, Benjamin Rein Brady (a.k.a. Benny) is Tom and Gisele's son. 

"I’m so proud of the young man you are..." the NFL alum wrote on Instagram for Benny's 15th birthday in 2024. "You’re a student, artist, athlete, musician, and teammate… but most of all you’re the best brother and son anyone could ask for. You pour so much into everything you do, and it shows in the way you inspire others around you."

And just like his dad, Benny has developed a love of football.

"I've been throwing the ball to him in the backyard. He's gonna be a little beast," Tom shared on a 2023 episode of Let's Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray. "He's an amazing kid and he's got a lot of talents. He's a really talented musician and artist. And then he told me this year, 'Dad, I'm playing football.'"

Vivian

While Vivian Lake Brady was born back in December 2012, to her dad, she'll be his "forever baby girl."

"Watching you grow and chase after your dreams are the proudest moments of my life," Tom wrote on Instagram for her 12th birthday in 2024. "Your love, compassion, and joy fill up every room that you’re in, and will always make your daddy smile. You light up my life!"

And yes, you can see the family resemblance between Vivian and Gisele (so much so, in fact, Vanity Fair noted Vivi can unlock her mom's phone using Face ID). Take one look at the Nourish author's Instagram and you'll see photos of the duo horseback riding and practicing yoga.

"I am so proud of you in every way," Gisele wrote on Instagram in 2023. "Thank you for making my life so much brighter! Te amo muito."

Joaquim Valente

Initially, Gisele insisted her relationship with Joaquim was strictly platonic.

"I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything," she told Vanity Fair in 2023 before then praising the jiu-jitsu instructor and his brothers. "I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially. He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy."

But eventually, their friendship turned into something more.

"This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first," she told The New York Times in March 2024 without naming names. "It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent."

However, she shot down any accusations she cheated on Tom during their marriage and noted, "That is a lie."

While Joaquim and Gisele have occasionally been spotted showing PDA on the beach, they keep most of their life together private.

Gisele and Joaquim's Baby

Another part of their life they've kept private? Their little one.

In fact, Gisele and Joaquim have yet to reveal the baby's name since welcoming the child in early 2025. However, she has offered a few peeks at their bundle of joy, such as by sharing a photo of the baby wearing an "I Heart Mom" onesie on Mother's Day 2025.

"I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life.." she wrote on Instagram. "Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived. Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present."
