Tom Brady’s oldest son Jack Brady may not follow in his father’s footsteps. Either way, the football legend says he will support him no matter what.
Brady, 45, sat down with PEOPLE about his recent appearance on the “Hertz. Let’s Go, Show.” During the interview, he revealed that his Jack, 15, may not continue playing football despite previously having an interest in sports.
“Yeah, he played this last year and I don’t even know if he’s going to play next year,” Brady tells PEOPLE about Jack’s potential football future. “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 adds.
The former quarterback shares Jack, 15, with ex-Bridget Moynahan.
On an October episode of the SiriusXM podcast Let’s Go With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray, Brady said Jack, a high school freshman, was playing as a free safety and quarterback, PEOPLE reported.
“I think one of the great highlights of my life is watching him play and him grow and develop, and my kids in general, too. So I love watching him kind of dig deep and especially [play] team sports,” said the football pro at the time.
He also said he had “never imagined” his son would play football.
“So getting out there and watching him play has been so much fun for me,” he said. “And I don’t give a s— how well he does. I just love watching him and seeing him enjoy it with his friends. And, you know, the camaraderie at a young age.”
