Tom Brady Declares 'We Got This One Right' In Gushing Letter About Raising Son Jack With Ex Bridget Moynahan

Tom Brady recently opened up about raising his son, Jack Moynahan, who recently turned 18, seemingly praising his co-parenting with his ex-partner, Bridget Moynahan.

The football star attended his son's birthday bash and gushed in his newsletter about how he feels that he and Moynahan "got this one right," referring to the way they raised him.

It was a different tone from Tom Brady's previous letter, in which he seemingly took a dig at his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, who had complained about how his dedication to football came at the expense of their family.

Brady celebrated his co-parenting relationship with Moynahan while discussing his son, Jack, in his latest newsletter.

The NFL legend and the actress's son turned 18 last week, and in his writing, Brady expressed pride in the person Jack has become thanks to his and Monahan's efforts.

"As a parent, the home is the classroom and you are in pure teaching mode all the way up until your kids are about 13 or 14 years old," Brady wrote, per the Daily Mail. "That's when their friend group starts to have a huge impact on the shape of their social personality, and you begin to learn what kind of teacher you really are."

He insisted that a parent is "perhaps the most formative person in the life of a child," as their impact influences who "a child chooses as their friends during that transitional period from middle school into high school," which is also a "very reliable indicator" of how well they've done with the child.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion described attending his son's 18th birthday celebration in his newsletter.

He wrote, "It was really heartening and rewarding as a parent to see a room full of fifteen great kids with strong bonds and the right values."

Brady then shared a message that would resonate deeply with his fans about personal growth.

"Nobody is perfect, everyone has room to grow and improve - this is especially true as parents - but seeing Jack with his friends felt like, hey, we got this one right!" the football legend said.

The former Patriots quarterback took to his Instagram page last week to share sweet throwback photos celebrating Jack's birthday.

In a particular picture, Jack can be seen hugging his father, with another showing him playing golf. He can also be seen posing in the company of his half-siblings when they were much younger.

"From little steps to big dreams, happy birthday, Jack," Brady wrote in the caption. "You've always shown grace, courage, love, and kindness since God blessed us with your arrival."

He further stated that he is "so proud" of his son, welcoming him into adulthood and joking that it comes with "higher credit card limits, bigger bills, and no curfew…OK, maybe not all at once!"

Brady's praise for Moynahan and their co-parenting efforts comes after he seemingly took shots at his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, in another newsletter.

During their marriage, which ended in 2022 after Brady reversed his retirement from football, the Brazilian-born supermodel had often hinted that his dedication to the NFL had a negative impact on their family.

As reported by The Blast, in a July newsletter, Brady appeared to address her concerns, stating that "part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family," noting that he "chose to do it by playing football."

He noted that his "dedication to the sport" and the hours he put into practicing and perfecting his skills were the times he was doing his "best possible thing" for his children and family.

Brady, who shares son Benjamin and daughter Vivian with Bündchen, added that "reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent," and that his commitment to his career was also a way of setting an excellent example for his children.

During an appearance on the "Impaulsive" podcast, Brady opened up about his lapses as a parent, admitting that his Netflix roast, where he and Bündchen were repeatedly mocked, was his "f-ck up" as a parent.

In the Netflix special, comedians like Nikki Glaser and Kevin Hart took turns throwing sarcastic jabs at his marriage with Bündchen, and although Brady admitted he had the time of his life laughing at it, he didn't like the impact it had on his kids.

"It was tough on my kids for sure," he said when asked if he regretted doing it. "You don't know what to expect, and I love laughing at myself; it felt like I was in the locker room."

"If people make fun of you, then I know I'm good with them. And I don't take myself too seriously, but I do understand that for my kids, that was really hard," Brady continued.

He then stated that sometimes parents mess up without realizing it "until after" and that there's "perfect manual" parenting.
