The Next GOATs? 5 Surprising Facts About Tom Brady's Sons, Jack And Benjamin, In 2025

Contents

The legacy of Tom Brady, the undisputed GOAT of the NFL, extends far beyond the football field, and as of late December 2025, the world is watching closely as his two sons, Jack and Benjamin, step into the spotlight. The former quarterback, who recently celebrated the New Year with his three children, is navigating the complexities of fatherhood with two teenage boys who are rapidly growing up—and in some cases, outgrowing him—with their own distinct interests and paths. The latest updates confirm that while one son is embracing the family's athletic genes, the other is making a surprising pivot that has fans and former teammates buzzing about the next generation of the Brady dynasty.

The biggest news surrounding the Brady boys this year revolves around their physical growth and evolving athletic pursuits. Jack, the eldest, has stunned fans by reaching a height that now surpasses his 6-foot-4 NFL legend father, while his younger brother, Benjamin, continues to make strides in his own sports journey, proving that the pressure of a famous last name hasn't deterred them from forging their own identities.

The Surprising Athletic Paths of the Brady Brothers

For years, fans speculated which of Tom Brady's sons would follow in his legendary footsteps. The reality, as of 2025, is more nuanced, showing that both boys are carving out their own unique athletic identities, sometimes in unexpected ways that challenge the "football heir" narrative.

1. Jack Brady’s Pivot from Football to Basketball

John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan was, for a time, the clear successor to the Brady football throne. He spent time as a ball boy for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, working alongside his father during his final NFL seasons. Tom Brady often spoke with pride about Jack’s involvement in the sport.

However, the latest photos and reports suggest an intriguing shift. Jack, who recently turned 18, has been photographed focusing on basketball, a move that has surprised many, given his father’s legacy. Furthermore, Jack's physical transformation has been dramatic; he has grown to a height that is now taller than the 6-foot-4 former quarterback. This significant growth spurt has led to speculation that his future may lie on the court rather than the gridiron.

Even former teammate and close friend Rob Gronkowski commented on Jack’s physique, calling him "more beastly" in a recent update, suggesting Jack is developing the kind of frame that could excel in a variety of high-level sports. This pivot demonstrates a strong sense of individuality, a trait Tom Brady has openly encouraged in his children.

2. Benjamin Brady’s Late-Blooming Interest in Sports

Benjamin Rein Brady’s journey into sports has been a different story entirely. Tom Brady has been candid about his initial disappointment that Benjamin wasn't immediately drawn to football, a sentiment he shared publicly in the ESPN+ series Man in the Arena. Benjamin was initially described as less interested in high-contact sports than his father might have hoped.

However, in a significant development over the last few years, Benjamin has begun to embrace the athletic world. Now 16, he has joined his school's football team and is also playing basketball. This late-blooming interest in the family’s favorite sport was a major moment for Tom Brady, who celebrated by gifting his son a football helmet.

Benjamin’s involvement in multiple sports, including both football and basketball, indicates a desire to explore his own athletic passions without being confined to his father's shadow. He is also noted for being nearly as tall as his famous dad, standing alongside his older brother and younger sister, Vivian Lake Brady, as they rang in 2025.

Tom Brady’s Co-Parenting Philosophy and Family Life in 2025

In the wake of his retirement and subsequent divorce from Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady has frequently spoken about his commitment to co-parenting and prioritizing his children. His focus has shifted to being a more present and involved father, a dynamic that has been highlighted in his recent social media posts and public statements throughout 2025.

3. A United Front for Celebrations

Despite the high-profile nature of their parents' separation, both Jack and Benjamin have been consistently seen spending quality time with both Tom and Gisele. Tom Brady often shares photos of his "three lookalike kids," Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian, emphasizing their role as the "center" of his world. The family was recently seen together celebrating the start of 2025, showcasing a united and healthy co-parenting relationship that puts the children first.

4. Encouraging Individuality Over Expectation

One of the most valuable lessons Tom Brady has shared about fatherhood, particularly with his sons, is the importance of encouraging their unique interests, even if they deviate from his own. He has publicly acknowledged the difficulty of accepting that Benjamin was not a natural sports enthusiast, which ultimately led him to a place of acceptance and encouragement for Benjamin’s non-athletic passions.

This philosophy extends to Jack’s apparent move toward basketball. By supporting Jack's decision to explore a sport outside of football, Tom is ensuring his sons feel the freedom to define their own success, rather than being burdened by the expectation of becoming the next great NFL quarterback. This supportive environment is key to their development as they enter adulthood.

5. The Height and Growth Spurt Phenomenon

A final, widely discussed fact in 2025 is the incredible growth of both boys. Jack, at 18, is now visibly taller than his father, a feat that is impressive given Tom Brady’s own height. Benjamin, at 16, is also rapidly catching up to his dad's stature. This physical evolution is a constant source of amusement and pride for the former athlete, who regularly shares updates on their growth. This rapid development underscores that the Brady boys are no longer children but young men ready to make their own mark, whether in sports, academics, or other fields.
