Rekubit-Tom Brady Admits He "Screwed Up" as a Dad to Kids With Bridget Moynahan and Gisele Bündchen

Tom Brady knows he didn't always score a touchdown in parenting. 

And the former NFL star is Rekubitnot afraid to admit he didn't always do the best job while raising son Jack, 17, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan, as well as son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, who he coparents with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.

"Being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have," Tom admitted during the Fortune Global Forum in New York City Nov. 12. "And we screwed up a lot and I've screwed up a lot as a parent."

The 47-year-old added that he didn't want to seem like "some expert in parenting," but when it comes to his children, he does whatever he can to try and "be dependable and consistent for them." For him, that also means supporting whatever choices they make in life.

According to Tom, his parenting style traces back to how his own parents, Galynn and Thomas Brady, acted toward him growing up, which he feels was a "blessing" for him.

"When I was that long shot as a kid, who was the backup quarterback on a freshman team," he recalled, "they never said, ‘Man, don't do that. It's gonna be too hard. Let's do something different. Let's think about another backup plan.' They kinda said, ‘You know what? Go for it. Whatever you wanna be, go for it.'"

And he's taken that same approach when it comes to son Jack, who Tom shared is already 6-foot-5 and has dreams of being a basketball player.

"Unfortunately he jumps as high as I do," Tom noted. "But I tell him, "Dude, you're gonna be a stud.' I said, ‘Wait till you hit your growth spurt, you're gonna be jumping higher, you're gonna be dunkin'.' And whether he does or not, who cares? But I want him to know that his dad's got his back."

Plus, the former New England Patriots quarterback is very aware that "to be a boy, it sucks to be Tom Brady's son, in so many ways." So he does what he can to empathize with both Jack and Benjamin.

"My kids naturally are gonna be faced with their own challenges, and they gotta figure out how to overcome them, too," he said. "And I'll be there to support them a lot like my parents did. And I'll be learning along the way right there with them."

For a look at some of Tom's most precious moments with his kids, keep reading.

Gisele Bündchen shared this family photo on Instagram on Tom Brady's son Jack's 14th birthday, writing, "Happy birthday Jack! We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you for being the best big brother in the world. We love you soooo much!"

While wearing his Christopher Cloos x Brady sunglasses, Tom celebrates his Super Bowl win with daughter Vivian during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers boat parade. 

After winning his seventh Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay quarterback celebrated with his daughter Vivian.

Tom snuggled with his kids John "Jack" Moynahan (with ex Bridget Moynahan), Vivian and Benjamin in this adorable photo snapped by Gisele on Father's Day.

Brady went from quarterback to coach with his son on the beach, writing on Instagram that he's "#dadsfavoriteworkoutpartner."

Gisele shared this adorable photo on Instagram of Tom giving his son a kiss on the forehead.

The whole Brady-bünch posed together at the Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta ahead of the Super Bowl LIII, which the Patriots later won.

Tom lurked as Pennywise the Dancing Clown in a window behind his family as they celebrate Halloween in 2018.

As Tom geared up for another football season, he stopped to give his daughter a little love and clearly this one has her dad's full attention.

In July 2018, the Brady bunch headed out of town for a family vacation and they couldn't look any happier on their horseback riding adventure.

Tom celebrated Father's Day with a family dinner and lots of silly photos with his younger son, Ben. 

There's nothing sweeter than seeing the greatest quarterback of all time (he has seven Super Bowl rings) get smothered in love by his three kids.

Even though it was springtime, Tom bundled up with Ben for a fun day outside...complete with a little training.

Tom Brady as the Easter bunny? Who would've guessed?!

The super sweet family was all smiles during one of Brady's episodes of Tom vs. Time.

After playing in another Super Bowl, Tom took a little break with his family, complete with burger time and selfies.

Even though the Patriots lost the 2018 Super Bowl, Tom had his support squad ready and waiting to cheer him up.

Ahead of Super Bowl LII, the Patriots QB posed for pictures with his whole family including Gisele and oldest son Jack, second-born Ben, and daughter Vivian.

The New England Patriots quarterback showed his second oldest son a little love on his birthday in December of 2017, writing, "Happy Birthday to the sweetest 8 year old boy a mom and dad could ever ask for! So filled with love and joy! We are so proud of you Benny! And you shine a light that brightens our lives every day! We love you."

Vivian was the ultimate sous chef as her dad made her biscuits before Thanksgiving and really, what can't Brady do?

The dynamic duo of Tom and Ben spent a November day swinging in a hammock together and we really wish we had some R&R like this in our near future.

Leave it to Tom to teach his son more than just football. 

The Brady crew rolled around in the grass and enjoyed spending time together in June 2017 and it really does look like they are having a blast.

Who says you're too old to make funny faces?

When the Patriots headed back to Boston for their parade celebration after their 2017 Super Bowl win, Tom brought Ben along for the ride making him the coolest dad around.

Winning the Super Bowl in 2017 was great, but getting to celebrate with your daughter on the field is priceless. 

In 2017, Vivian gave her dad a big good luck kiss before he headed out for a game. Seriously, these two are so stinking cute.

Tom's fans span near and far, but his biggest fans are his three kids and their "Brady" jerseys continually make us love them even more as a unit.

Decorating the Christmas tree is twice as fun when you have your precious daughter helping you out...especially when she's dressed as a fairy!

The football player loves to spend his off time with his adorable kiddos at the beach and we totally approve.
