Tom Brady And Johannes Legend realized how their children have been affected by growing up with a famous father.
“[My kids] seem to take [my fame] Good. They take it step by step. They are used to it now. They know their mom and dad are famous,” Legend, 44, said on the Tuesday, Dec. 26 episode of SiriusXM Let’s go! Starring Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray. “They know, you know, their friends see their mom and dad on TV.”
Legend said he enjoys being a coach The voice because it keeps him close to his wife, Chrissy Teigenand their four children: Luna, 7, Miles, 5, Esti, 11 months, and Wren, 5 months.
“They see billboards with my face on them The voice or for my residency in Vegas or whatever, and they’re just kind of used to it,” Legend explained. “My son, he is my biggest fan. So he listens to my music – literally, that’s it. I think they are proud of me, proud of my music and proud that people like what I do and what my wife does.”
Brady, 46, couldn’t imagine how a child would handle being in the spotlight, especially since he grew up as a “normal kid.” The former footballer shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen and son Jack, 16, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
“I think it’s a challenge for a parent. We have unique challenges for our own children. We try to teach them the right values and so on,” Brady explains. “But at the same time, I feel like when I’m out with my kids, I really want to be with them, you know? And I really make it clear to people, ‘Sorry, I’m just here enjoying my time with my family, you know?’
Brady confessed that he enjoys attending his children’s various events, but also feels guilty about overshadowing their special moments.
“And whether I’m at a game for my son, and I love doing that, but you know, a lot of times the focus shifts to us,” he said. “I don’t want to take away their moments because this is true [an] important part of their lives and their maturation.”
The Super Bowl champion also shared that he teaches his children that “everything has a price.”
“The reason we take a lot of nice holidays and that you go to schools and have people to help [is because] we are dealing with some things that are different from everyone else,” he explained. “So there is no straight arrow in life for anyone. Everyone will explore different curves, twists and turns and just try to be a great parent.
