AceShowbiz - Tom Brady, the legendary retired NFL quarterback, recently took to Instagram to celebrate Father's Day in a deeply personal way. Not only did he honor his own father, Tom Brady Sr., but he also reflected on the joys and challenges of fatherhood with his three children. The honest and touching messages provide a unique glimpse into the life of one of football's greatest figures as he navigates his post-retirement life.
On Sunday, June 16, Brady shared nostalgic photographs and heartfelt tributes dedicated to his father and children. "Happy Father's Day to my HERO, and the best role model I could have ever asked for," wrote Brady, now 46, alongside pictures of him with his father and both parents.
He continued by expressing his gratitude to his children, Jack, 16, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. "And THANK YOU, to these kids for giving me the gift of being a father, a joy that I could have never imagined until you came into my life."
Brady's message emphasized the unconditional love and support he received from his father, which he hopes to pass on to his own children. "I hope that I can give you all that my dad gave me… unconditional love and support," he added.
In a candid interview on the podcast DeepCut with VicBlends, Brady elaborated on his experiences as a father. "You get better as a parent, I think, because you know when you're a young parent, you don't really know what you're doing. You're winging it. You're trying to wing it," he shared, highlighting the evolution of his parenting skills over time.
He spoke warmly of his children, particularly praising his eldest son Jack's maturity and dedication. "I mean my oldest son, Jack, he's an amazing young man. Straight As. Handles himself so well in groups of people and I see him and he's 16, and I'm like how are you so mature," Brady marveled. "[He] lives in New York City, puts his heart and soul into everything he does."
Brady's reflections also included the joys of spending quality time with his children. In March, he enjoyed late-season skiing with Benjamin and Vivian, proudly sharing, "Last runs of the year with these future X-Games contestants." These moments underscore his dedication to being an involved and supportive father.
As Brady steps into a new chapter of his career as Fox Sports' lead NFL analyst, he remains grounded in the values imparted by his own father. His heartfelt tributes and reflections serve as an inspiration to parents and fans alike, demonstrating that even the most iconic figures cherish and prioritize their roles as family members above all else.
