Overview

  • On July 28, Brady posted two Instagram Story videos showing his eldest son Jack dunking aboard their yacht and training at their Miami home.
  • He tagged the University of Michigan Men’s Basketball team as “Future Wolverine,” explicitly urging his alma mater to recruit Jack.
  • Jack’s focus on basketball follows Brady’s November 2023 confirmation in People Magazine that his son would not continue playing football and his pledge to support whichever sport Jack chooses.
  • Brady’s appeal builds on his longstanding support for Michigan basketball, including a 2018 FaceTime with former coach John Beilein ahead of the NCAA Final Four.
  • Jack, 18, is Brady’s eldest child with actress Bridget Moynahan; Brady also has a 15-year-old son, Benjamin, and a 13-year-old daughter, Vivian, with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
