7 Shocking Ways Tom Brady's Sons, Jack And Benjamin, Are Stepping Out Of The NFL Legend's Shadow In 2025
The legacy of Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback of all time, is one of the most scrutinized in sports, but as of late 2025, the spotlight is increasingly shifting to his children, particularly his two sons, John 'Jack' Edward Thomas Moynahan and Benjamin Rein Brady. These young men are no longer the toddlers seen on the sidelines; they are now teenagers who have experienced massive growth spurts and are forging their own distinct paths, sometimes in surprising directions away from the football field. This in-depth look provides the most current updates on how the Brady boys are growing up, their surprising career interests, and the latest on their close-knit, blended family dynamic.
The latest news surrounding the Brady family centers on major milestones: Jack turning 18 and Benjamin celebrating his 16th birthday. Both events, marked by heartfelt social media tributes from both parents, Tom Brady, Bridget Moynahan, and Gisele Bündchen, highlight the boys' remarkable growth and their burgeoning independence. Their public appearances and new interests prove that being the son of an NFL icon doesn't necessarily mean following the same playbook.

1. Jack Brady is Now Taller Than His 6'4" NFL Legend Father
One of the most talked-about updates in late 2025 is the incredible growth spurt of Tom Brady's eldest son, Jack. At 18 years old, Jack is visibly taller than his legendary father, who stands at 6 feet, 4 inches.
Photos shared by Tom Brady on social media, especially those celebrating Jack's recent 18th birthday, clearly show the young man towering over the seven-time Super Bowl champion. This height and athletic build have only fueled speculation about his future in sports, even as he explores interests outside of the gridiron. The sheer difference in height has been a major talking point among NFL fans and media, who see Jack as a potential future athlete, even if not a quarterback.
2. Jack's Surprising Pivot to Basketball, Not Football
For years, the narrative around Jack Brady was that he was the heir apparent to his father's football career. Tom Brady had often spoken about Jack playing high school football and even taking on a "league job" with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at just 13 years old.
However, recent updates suggest Jack's focus may be shifting. In a surprising turn of events, Jack was recently seen spending time on the basketball court with his father and NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks. This appearance, which placed Jack next to a 7-foot professional athlete, highlighted his impressive height and athletic potential in a different sport. While he still plays football, his public interest in basketball signals a desire to forge his own athletic identity, separate from the immense pressure of following his father's footsteps in the NFL.
3. Benjamin Brady's Sweet 16 and Close-Knit Family Tributes
Benjamin Rein Brady, Tom and Gisele Bündchen's son, recently celebrated his 16th birthday, an event that provided a rare glimpse into the family's current dynamic.
Both Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen shared heartfelt and humorous tributes to their son on social media, showcasing a strong co-parenting unit despite their 2022 divorce. Tom Brady's post playfully joked about Benjamin's teenage quirks, like late-night texting, while Gisele's tribute emphasized her pride and love for her "precious" son. These public displays of affection and unity confirm the parents' commitment to raising their children together, maintaining a stable environment for Benjamin and his younger sister, Vivian.
4. Benjamin's Towering Height: Almost Matching His Dad
Like his older half-brother Jack, Benjamin is also experiencing a significant growth spurt. Photos shared during his 16th birthday celebrations show Benjamin is nearly as tall as his 6'4" father.
This rapid growth makes the 16-year-old an imposing figure, even next to the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star. The fact that both of Brady's sons are growing into such tall, athletic young men is a testament to the family's strong genetic predisposition for sports, though Benjamin’s interests continue to lean toward activities like surfing, which aligns with Gisele Bündchen’s emphasis on nature and wellness.
5. The Blended Family Dynamic Remains Strong and Public
The relationship between Tom Brady, Bridget Moynahan, and Gisele Bündchen, and their respective children, remains a model of successful co-parenting. The blended family is frequently seen together, with Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian all sharing a close bond.
Recent family photos shared after holidays and birthdays consistently feature all three children, highlighting the harmony within the family structure. This stability is particularly important following the high-profile divorce of Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen. The constant presence and support from all three parents—Brady, Moynahan, and Bündchen—ensure the children feel loved and supported as they navigate their teenage years and young adulthood.
6. The Pressure of the 'Brady Name' and Independent Paths
Both Jack and Benjamin face the immense, almost unparalleled pressure of being the sons of a sports icon. The entire world waits to see if either will attempt to follow the path of the most decorated player in NFL history.
Jack’s exploration of basketball and Benjamin’s preference for non-contact sports like surfing and martial arts are strong indications that they are actively seeking their own identities. This desire for independence is a crucial part of their story in 2025. Tom Brady has publicly supported their choices, emphasizing that he wants them to be happy in whatever they choose, rather than feeling obligated to pursue football.
7. Future Aspirations: College and Career on the Horizon
With Jack turning 18, his college and professional career decisions are now at the forefront. While he has shown dedication to football, the recent basketball updates suggest a wide-open future.
For Benjamin, his 16th birthday marks the start of his own high school journey and the eventual path toward college. The family’s focus on his happiness and personal growth over athletic achievement suggests Benjamin may pursue a non-sports-related career. Regardless of their chosen paths, both Jack and Benjamin Brady are now fully grown young men who are defining their own success, proving that the greatest legacy of Tom Brady might not be on the field, but in the successful raising of his independent, well-adjusted children.
