Tom acknowledged that maintaining a strong connection with his children is an ongoing effort and a continuous journey. Nevertheless, he is a loving and supportive dad to his three kids. He admitted that he would never pressure them to choose a path of football as he did.
The sports icon wants Jack, a quarterback, to be internally motivated and work hard in something he loves doing, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be football.

“I wouldn’t chose for him to do that because there’s too many crazy expectations that people would put on them, most of them probably very unfair actually,” he noted. Tom added that whatever path his kids would choose, he would be there to support them just as his parents supported him.
However, Tom understands that his children face unique pressures. “There are a lot of expectations because of who their mom or their dad is, and it’s not necessarily fair to them because they didn’t choose that,” he shared.
Tom acknowledged that despite public expectations for them to conform to certain standards, they are simply kids navigating their own lives and friendships.
The football superstar hopes that his sons and daughter develop passions and build strong, supportive friendships.
Tom also values the mothers of his kids. On Mother’s Day, he took to Instagram to honor the special women in his life: his mother and his exes Bridget and Gisele.
With a heartfelt post featuring photos of these influential women, Tom expressed his gratitude. He shared photos of his mother and his children as well as photos of Gisele and Bridget Moynahan with the children he shares with them.

Aside from his tribute, Tom has previously shared insights into his co-parenting philosophy. Reflecting on his responsibilities as a father in an interview, Tom emphasized the importance of instilling strong values in his children.
“I think these kids that come up under your roof, you want to provide them with values, so that when they move forward in their life, they have a real solid base and foundation,” he explained.
Tom and his ex-wife, Gisele, have been managing their parenting duties with a focus on providing a stable and loving environment for their children, Benjamin and Vivian.
Despite their divorce, the pair have a great relationship while raising their children. “We’re never a finished product. The kids aren’t finished products,” Tom remarked.
“At the end of the day, we’re learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with,” Tom added.
Gisele and Bridget, his ex-girlfriend, have publicly shared their experiences and perspectives on co-parenting with Tom. Gisele expressed that managing co-parenting responsibilities comes with its challenges and rewards. While some days are easier than others, she knows she is only in control of her actions.

She further emphasized the positive environment their son, Jack, is growing up in, saying, “My son is surrounded by love.”
