Tom Brady is sharing how he stays undercover at his kids' sporting events.
During his appearance on the Tuesday, March 17 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the retired football quarterback, 48, shared how much he loves attending his children's sporting events, despite potentially "irritating" them. He also shared how he ensures the "attention" stays "focused" on them and not their superstar dad.
"I'm probably pretty irritating to them," the proud dad admitted to Fallon with a laugh. "They want me to stand outside the arena when they're playing. They're like, 'Dad, don't come in here.'"
"But I love watching 'em play," he added. "I always kind of, especially when I go to the opposing schools, [wear] the hat, hoodie, [and go] as far down, as far away from every other parent. Because you just want the attention focused on the kids, and that's where it should be."
Brady is a father of three children: daughter Vivian, 13, and sons Benjamin, 16, and Jack, 18. He welcomed his younger children with ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, and his eldest son with ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan. Back in July, for an entry of his weekly newsletter, Brady penned a message about finding fulfillment in life outside of the sports world. Brady also opened up about what he believes makes him a "great father."
"I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family," he explained. "I chose to do it by playing football."
"My dedication to the sport, the hours of practice, the moments when I was laser focused — those were times when I believe I was doing the best possible thing for my family and my kids, by prioritizing my profession and teaching, by example, what it takes to be really good at your job, what it takes to follow through on commitments, what it takes to be a great teammate; and showing them, also by example, that work is a big part of all of our lives."
