Whenever the Brady family is going for an exotic vacation or just on a regular stroll in the park, all five of them stick together as one family.
John Moynahan is into sports like his dad
It’s a dream for every sports star that their offspring also become an athlete. Similarly, Tom is also lucky in this aspect as his oldest has shown a keen interest in sports. In an interview with Men’s Health, while talking about his family, Brady said,
“Jack is just like me—he holds a lot in. Benny lets it all out. Vivi, she doesn’t care. They’re going to be their own selves, not who you want them to be.”
Aside from that, he also mentioned Jack is following in his footstep. He stated,
“Jack loves sports. He wants to try hard, and he never wants to disappoint his dad. That was me. I’d wake up early on weekends to do stuff with my dad. That’s why I didn’t party a lot. If Dad wanted to golf, I wanted to be there with him. And if I ever missed those things, it would crush me.”
Well, it is clear Jack definitely follows in his dad’s footsteps. In the coming year, don’t be surprised if Jack becomes a big name in college football. It is in his blood and what’s more, he has been trained by the one and only Tom Brady.

“When Benny came along, I thought he would be just like Jack. So I was like, ‘C’mon, let’s do this.’ And he was like, ‘Nope.’ And I was like, ‘What? No, do this!’ And Gisele kept saying to me, ‘Would you effing understand that your son is different?”
Interestingly, Benny loves playing video games and watch movies. He is a great fan of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
John’s mom Bridget stated he doesn’t want to be a football player
Yes, you read it right. John Edward is not keen on becoming an NFL star like his dad. Instead, he wants to become a soccer player, his mom told in a sitdown on Live with Kelly in 2017. In the interview, she vividly talked about her son’s interest in winning trophies as a pro-athlete, not only as a football star.
“I think right now he wants to be a professional soccer player. Though after the Olympics he’s like, ‘I think I’m going to win a gold in swimming. Then it was Michael Phelps. So I think he just likes awards.”
Well, the drive to win definitely runs in the Brady family. Since both of John’s parents have mentioned he is interested in sports, we’re guessing he will really become a world-class athlete. After all, it’s in his blood.
Relationship between John’s Parents, Tom Brady, and Bridget Moynahan
It was in late 2003 when a mutual friend of Tom and Bridget set them up on a date. Back then, both of them were making incredible feats in their respective career.
While Brady had already won a few Superbowl titles, Bridget was also working in big movies and series. Safe to say, they were a match made in heaven.
John’s mom and dad dated in the early 2000s.However, their relationship was short-lived. After dating for a few years, they called it quits in 2006. News of their breakup first came in December of 2006 when a rep for Moynahan announced the bad news. At the time, the representative claimed the pair went their separate ways several weeks ago.
The reason for their unfortunate split never came out. Nevertheless, many sources, to this day, claim it was due to Tom’s affection towards the supermodel, Gisele that led to their separation.
These speculations started when Tom didn’t waste any time and moved on with Bundchen, in the same month as the news of his break-up with Bridget came out.

Bridget didn’t allow Tom to meet her when she was giving birth to their child
Right after Brady and Gisele started dating, news of Bridget’s pregnancy with Tom’s child came out. According to reports, Tom didn’t spend a whole lot of time with his baby momma during her pregnancy journey. Maybe this is why she didn’t even allow him inside the operation theatre while she was in labor.
Tom was only allowed after John Edward Thomas Moynahan came into this world but that too for a short while. An insider affirmed that Bridget didn’t want to meet her ex-boyfriend. What’s more, she even gave her newborn her last name, which really tells something about the type of relationship she had with Tom.
Be that as it may, both of them share the joint custody of the teenager and have nothing but his best interest in mind.
