Tom Brady is no longer the tallest member of his household, as his 18-year-old son Jack appears to have surpassed his 6'4 height.
The retired NFL star shared a carousel of rare photos on Friday, August 22, to mark his eldest son's 18th birthday, and Jack now stands taller than his dad.

Marking his son's milestone birthday, Tom captioned the post: "From little steps to big dreams, happy birthday Jack. 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! Welcome to adulthood, it comes with higher credit card limits, bigger bills, and no curfew… OK maybe not all at once!"
He added: "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. We love you so much and I know this will be your best year yet."

The pics also highlighted Jack's passion for golf, which Tom proved on Wednesday when he shared photos of the duo enjoying some time on a golf course, and once again, Jack towered over his dad.

Although Jack has seemingly picked up his dad's penchant for sports, his two younger kids are different, and Tom admitted this was "hard" for him to come to terms with.
He previously told Men's Health that he wanted his son, Benjamin, to also be interested in sports, and struggled to accept that he wasn't.
In 2019, he said: "Gisele kept saying to me, 'Would you understand that your son is different?' It was hard for me. I was like, 'What do you mean? He's a boy; he should do all these things that I do.'"

Divorce

They said: "Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world.

Gisele has since moved on and is now dating Joaquim Valente, with whom she welcomed a baby in February this year.
