Isabel Veloso died on Jan. 10 after a four-year battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
On Friday, August 22, Tom Brady took to Instagram to share a special birthday message to his oldest son Jack.
Brady shares Jack, born John Edward Thomas Moynahan, with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan. On Aug. 22, Jack turned 18 years old.
Alongside a handful of photos over his 18 years of life, Brady shared a note to his son in the caption.
“From little steps to big dreams, happy birthday Jack,” Brady began. “You’ve always shown grace, courage, love and kindness since God blessed us with your arrival.”
“I’m so proud of the man you are,” Brady said of his son. “Welcome to adulthood, it comes with higher credit card limits, bigger bills, and no curfew… OK maybe not all at once!”
“There is a saying that a dad’s heart soars with his children’s happiness, not with his own…truer words could not be spoken,” the father of three concluded his note to Jack. “We love you so much and I know this will be your best year yet.”
In addition to Jack, Brady is also dad to Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
Fans of Brady’s celebrated Jack alongside him in the comments section, with many noting just how much Jack and Brady lookalike.
“So he just stole your whole flow bar for bar,” one comment wrote.
“Happy 18th Birthday Jack! your twin and handsome just like you,” another added.
“HBD to your handsome mini-me Jack!” read another commenter.
Just a few days ago, Jack and Brady took to the golf course together to spend some quality time.
After sharing a throwback photo of Jack swinging a club in his birthday post, Brady wrote on his Instagram story that while his son has the “same focus” he is “driving it a little further these days.”
