“As much as things changed when Jack was born, when Benny came along in 2009, he brought so much joy to my life. And then when Vivi was born in 2012, those three are my biggest inspirations. I try to go out there every day to make them proud,” the quarterback continued.

“It has carried through my entire life because of the role model I had at home,” he concluded. “And I try to be that for the beautiful little angels that I have in my home right now.”

“And then through Julie and through Nancy, then obviously with Tommy, gave me a chance to have four new best friends in my life,” he said. “Four wonderful children and 10 magnificent grandchildren, each one of whom gives me overwhelming joy.”

Brady shares sonJack, 15, with exBridget Moynahan. He is also dad to sonBenjamin, 13, and daughterVivian, 10, whom he shares with ex-wifeGisele Bündchen, 42.

Earlier this month, Brady revealed that his sonJack might not continue to play football in the future. “Yeah, he played this last year and I don’t even know if he’s going to play next year,” Brady told PEOPLE. “And to be honest, whatever he chooses, I’ll be very happy. But he loves lacrosse…basketball’s probably his favorite sport, but he’s a very good student.”

“Again, I think wherever he ends up finding the path, I think for me and his mom just to support that is the best thing possible,” he added.
