Tom Brady's son wants to be like father's former longtime teammate

One of Tom Brady's sons will soon be starting his football career, but he wants to be more like a former teammate of his father's than TB12 himself.

According to hollywoodlife.com, Brady has three kids, including two from his marriage with Gisele Bündchen. Prior to last year's divorce, Brady and Bündchen had a son (13-year-old Benjamin Rein Brady) and a daughter (10-year-old Vivian Lake Brady). The three-time NFL MVP also has a 16-year-old son (John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan) from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

Brady and Rob Gronkowski played 11 seasons together in the NFL, first from 2010-18 with the New England Patriots and then in 2020 and 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The duo won four Super Bowls together and hooked up for a whopping 620 receptions for 9,275 yards and 92 touchdowns across 141 games played.

"Gronk" and Brady have also combined for four retirements.

The former initially hung up his cleats following the 2018 season -- his ninth and final year with the Patriots -- but after taking one season off decided to join Brady and the Buccaneers. The pair helped lead Tampa Bay to a victory in Super Bowl LV against the Kansas City Chiefs and to the NFC divisional round in the 2021 campaign.

The five-time Pro Bowl tight end announced his second retirement in June 2022.

The "GOAT" announced his first retirement on Feb. 1, 2022, before returning for one more season with the Bucs. Brady announced his second retirement on the one-year anniversary of his initial decision.
