Tom Brady is celebrating his eldest son Jack’s 19th birthday with great fanfare.
“Happy 19th birthday, Jack! 🎉 Aug 22, 2007 is a day I’ll never forget, because that’s when you showed up and stole my heart (and my sleep… and my patience… hahahaha),” Brady, 49, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, August 22, sharing a carousel of throwback family photos. “You’re kind, thoughtful, empathetic and full of love!”
The NFL icon added, “I’m so proud of who you have become. You fill my heart with so much joy and I’m blessed to be your dad. I can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Brady, who shares Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, also shared the sweet birthday tribute via his Instagram Stories.
“19?!! Slow down! HBD Jack,” he captioned the photos of his son dunking a basketball. “Don’t think I could do that at 19…”
In addition to Jack, Brady shares son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. (The supermodel, 46, later welcomed her third child, her first with husband Joaquim Valente, in February 2025.)
“There’s definitely some challenges and there’s a lot of blessings, and I think just us as parents, we’re just trying to help them navigate a little bit,” Brady exclusively told Us in 2024 of fatherhood. “There’s a lot of cool things, a lot of things that are maybe a little tricky, but you just got to deal with it all in the best way you can.”
He continued at the time, “I think giving them perspective all the time is really important. They’re kids, so we’re all human. We’re all going through stuff, so they’re going through their own set of unique experiences and you just try to give them the right perspective on the things that you’ve experienced and that you can correlate to their life.”
For the Super Bowl champ, Brady hoped that each of his three kids would eventually find “a life of purpose.”
“As parents, we just want our kids to do better than us, and I think that’s for all of us. My parents did that for me,” Brady gushed to Us. “I want to try to guide my kids into a life of purpose and one that they can find their joy and happiness and create a life and a family together with someone and find things they love to do when they wake up in the morning.”
As for Moynahan, 55, she subtly marked Jack’s big day via her social media account.
“The love of my life doesn’t call me with romantic words or nicknames. The love of my life calls me ‘mom,’” an anonymous quote the actress reposted via Instagram on Saturday.
