The Buccaneers are 2-2 and Tom Brady’s marriage to Gisele Bündchen is reportedly in trouble, but the future Hall of Famer says he’s found joy in watching his eldest son’s budding football career. , Jack.
“I think one of the best moments of my life is watching them play and grow and develop, and also my children in general,” Brady told Jim Gray on his weekly Sirius XM podcast. “So I love to see him go deeper and especially [play] Team sports.’
Jack is Brady’s 15-year-old son with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, but he also has two children with Bündchen: a 9-year-old daughter, Vivian Lake, and a 12-year-old son, Benjamin Rein.

Brady’s oldest son has been playing free safety on defense, but has been under center on offense, which has naturally pleased his quarterback father.
“I think there are very few things in life that I could probably help him with. You know, I don’t have a lot of specialties in life other than probably throwing the ball,” shares Brady. He is much smarter. He has a great work ethic. He’s a great guy. But I can definitely help him at quarterback.
“So getting out there and watching him play has been a lot of fun for me,” Brady added. And I don’t give a fuck how well I do. I love seeing him and seeing him enjoy with his friends. And, you know, camaraderie at a young age.
‘I remember being in high school, I loved hanging out with my teammates, having pancakes for breakfast on Saturdays. He has Friday night potlucks with his teammates and brings out the best in us. So it’s really a pleasure, as all parents know, to watch their children play.’
Although Brady admitted he “never imagined” Jack, a high school freshman, would play football, he referred to him as a “grinder” and a “really good athlete.”
‘[He has] great eye-hand coordination. In fact, he moves better than I do at his age,’ Brady admitted, famously slow of him.

Brady didn’t discuss his 11-day absence from training camp, some of which he used to visit with Jack in the Hamptons, DailyMail.com reported last month.
Brady also did not address the reported friction between him and Bündchen, but they appear to be headed for a split after hiring divorce attorneys, the New York Post reported.
Rumors have been swirling for the past few weeks that the two are living apart after an epic fight and are now pondering how they would split up their multi-million dollar empire.
‘I don’t think there is any return now. They both have lawyers and are looking at what a split will entail, who gets what and what the finances will be,” an anonymous source told Page Six.
The couple married in 2009.
Legal experts speculate that Brady and Bündchen, 45 and 42, respectively, would bring their case in Florida, where they primarily reside after a decade in Boston.
Another source told the Post that the couple is evaluating how they would split their $26 million property portfolio.
Most recently, the couple bought a $17 million home on Miami’s Indian Creek Island, an area jokingly called the ‘Billionaires’ Bunker.’

A condo in a Tribeca luxury building in New York City worth $3.6 million also belongs to the couple, as does a $5.7 million property in Mike Meldman’s exclusive Yellowstone club in Mountain.
Bündchen’s most beloved property is reportedly the couple’s vacation home on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, where the family has frequently vacationed over the years.
Brady’s personal net worth has skyrocketed from $180 million to $250 million in the past year, helped by a handful of hyper-lucrative endorsement deals with brands like Under Armour, Sam Adams and Tag Heuer.
Bündchen’s personal fortune is believed to be in a similar range, if not higher. She has managed to continue to earn a formidable salary since her days as a Victoria’s Secret model.
Both Brady and Bündchen fled to Miami as Hurricane Ian approached Tampa last week.

Although it was reported that Bündchen stayed with the couple’s children and Brady stayed elsewhere.
The boys were seen last Sunday wishing their father good luck before their first NFL home game of the season in Tampa, and the Buccaneers shared a video of the family hugging before that day’s matchup against Green Bay.
Since rumors of tensions between the couple first surfaced, multiple reports have claimed that Brady’s decision to U-turn in retirement earlier this year was the trigger for his marital problems.
He initially quit, in part, to focus on his family, as he vowed to spend more time with them as Gisele “deserves what she needs from me as a husband, and my children deserve what they need from me as a father.”
Many believed that Brady’s return became a point of contention for Bündchen. However, his breakup has nothing to do with the former Patriots star’s football career, DailyMail.com can confirm.
Bündchen is her husband’s ‘number one cheerleader’ and said she wouldn’t mind if he played until he was 50. But the friction between the two has still resulted in them living apart from each other.
Construction continues on Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s home on Miami’s ultra-exclusive Biscayne Bay’s Indian Creek, which is home to billionaires, celebrities and professional athletes, earning it the nickname of the Billionaires’ Bunker.
