Tom Brady’s vulnerable confession on parental challenges
Once deemed a power couple, Brady and Bundchen finalized their divorce in 2022. Now, he shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian, while Bundchen is expected to have a third on the way. It would be her first child with Joaquim Valente, her Jiu-Jutsu instructor. Hearing the news of Bundchen’s sudden pregnancy, Brady was reportedly shocked, as conveyed by a source to Page Six, “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least.”
As for Brady, he is “happy for Gisele,” who is seemingly moving on with her new love life. While Gisele is busy starting a new chapter, Brady remains committed to his kids and work, “He’s concentrating on work and his kids,” as per an insider. But as a co-parent, Brady has gone through his own challenges, as revealed by him at the Fortune Global Forum in New York, “Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have. And we screw up a lot, and I’ve screwed up a lot as a parent. I don’t want to seem like I’m some expert in parenting.”

Well, Brady now focuses on his own parenting techniques. Whenever Jack expresses his disappointment with not being able to jump higher, he tries to motivate him, “I tell him, Dude, you’re gonna be a stud. Wait till you hit your growth spurt, you’re gonna be jumping higher,” as per TMZ Sports. But right now, it seems like Jack is only jumping as far as his father, who is almost 50, “Unfortunately, he jumps as high as I do.” While we hope Jack manages to jump as high as his father did when he was young and agile. Seeing Brady catching up with his son would surely be a step toward his growth as a parent after expressing disappointment in his qualities.
