Tom Brady's 18-year-old son towered over him as the proud dad celebrated his eldest child's high school graduation this week. 
The emotional NFL legend, 48, shared a heartwarming tribute to his son Jack, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan. 
The teenager graduated from Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, New York, on Friday with his entire family present to cheer him on. 
Both his parents, who split before the actress learnt she was pregnant with Jack, put on a united front as they proudly watched their son don his burgundy cap and gown. 
The seven-time Super Bowl winner cut a dapper figure in a sharp navy suit and matching inky-blue tie, while Moynahan was effortlessly elegant in a white-and-blue striped sundress. 
Meanwhile, Brady's two younger children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, whom the former quarterback shares with his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, were also in attendance to support their brother.

The 18-year-old graduated from Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, New York, on Friday 
Brady posted a series of photos from the jubilant celebration alongside an emotional message to his eldest. 
'One of the proudest days of my life, watching Jack walk across the stage, and graduate into the next chapter of what’s already an impressive life,' a gushing Brady wrote on Instagram. 
'You are an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend amongst many other things. 
'What makes me happiest is knowing who you are when no one is watching. 
The way you show up for your friends. 
The way you check on people having a hard day. 
The love you give our family, and the fact that you still let me win in 1v1 every once in a while. 
'This isn’t an ending. 
It’s a starting line. 
Whatever you chase next we know you’ll find success in. 
Take the risks. 
Be kind. 
Be yourself. 
And know your family and friends are always right behind you cheering the loudest because you do the same for everybody else! 
We love you. 
The Fox commentator also self-deprecatingly mocked himself as he made a subtle dig at his height. 
Jack, who is reported to stand at six-foot-six, towered over his signal caller father by inches even despite his young age. 
Brady shared a solo shot of the pair together to his Instagram story, adding, 'On my tiptoes,' along with a couple of laughing emojis. 
Brady's parents, Galynn and Tom Snr, also appeared to be in attendance at the ceremony as well as his three older sisters, Maureen, Julie and Nancy. 
The former quarterback shared a series of photos of the celebrations to his Instagram 
The NFL legend shares Jack with his ex-grilfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan.

The future Hall of Famer was spotted enjoying some quality father-son time with Jack, sitting courtside together in April to watch the Miami Heat face off against the Boston Celtics. 
The retired sports icon also recently opened up about his hands-on parenting style, jokingly admitting during a television appearance that his constant presence at his kids' various youth sporting events can occasionally 'irritate' them. 
'They want me to stand outside the arena when they're playing,' Brady joked, explaining that he deliberately wears low-profile hoodies and hats to ensure the spotlight stays entirely on his children's achievements rather than his own fame. 
Jack had appeared to have followed in his father's footsteps, playing quarterback and safety in high school football. 
However, it appears basketball could be his chosen sport with even his famous father admitting that he's got game on the court. 
'Yeah, he played this last year, and I don't even know if he's going to play next year. 
And to be honest, whatever he chooses, I'll be very happy,' Brady previously told People. 
Brady later welcomed Benjamin and Vivian with his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen 
Moynahan and Brady were never married but instead learned they were having a baby after splitting up in late 2006.
