Footage of Tom Brady embracing his 15-year-old son Jack has emerged after the pair practiced together with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bucs quarterback hailed his eldest son ‘my inspiration’ in posts to his Instagram profile Wednesday.

A clip of the pair at the practice has surfaced with Brady going up to his son from behind and then hugging him in a heartwarming video, before they throw a football on the field together.

Brady shares Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. He also has a daughter, Vivian Lake, nine, and son Benjamin Rein, 12, with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, who he divorced from in October after 13 years of marriage.

The 45-year-old also shared a series of photos of Jack at the training to his Instagram story. One featured the same image as his main post, but this time he accompanied it with: ‘Fire that pigskin!!!!’

He also shared a photo of Jack in a Buccaneers cap, looking like he is talking to someone, while Brady stands with his back to the camera. 

Finally, he posted a photo of his son alongside him and teammates Ryan Griffin, Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask, writing: ‘Just one of the boys.’

Earlier this week, Brady spoke about Thanksgiving and how much the holiday meant to him as a father. 

‘I think myself as a parent and being grateful during Thanksgiving, it’s always time for family,’ he said on his Let’s Go! podcast. 

‘When you think about this holiday and the commitment that parents make and that my parents made to me and my career is unbelievable.’

Acknowledging his whole family’s role in his 23-season career, Brady said he’s ‘looking forward to finishing strong here after Thanksgiving.’

‘And obviously with a lot of gratitude for the people that have made such a huge impact in my life and supported me throughout this amazing career,’ he continued. ‘I just want to be that for my kids. You know, I just wanna be the best dad I could be.’

When discussing his Thanksgiving plans, Brady said he’s ‘had a lot of humble pie this year’ and ‘might have to indulge in a little pumpkin pie and whipped cream. I’m going to enjoy it. It’s going to be a good Thanksgiving.’ 

However, Brady will be celebrating Thanksgiving with one less member of the family this year, following his split from Bundchen. 

The NFL superstar and Brazilian supermodel confirmed their split on October 28 following weeks of speculation.
