Tom Brady is opening up about his journey into fatherhood.

The retired NFL pro, 46, appeared on DeepCut with VicBlends and chatted with the barber while getting his haircut about how he transitioned to being a father. Brady, who shares son Jack, 16, with ex Bridget Moynahan, 52, and son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex Gisele Bündchen, 43, shared that he believes you can improve at being a parent.

"You get better as a parent, I think, because you know when you’re a young parent, you don’t really know what you’re doing. You’re winging it. You’re trying to wing it," Brady said.

"So I think when you become a parent, you’re trying new things for the first time, you’re going through all these things for the first time so you don’t exactly know always the right thing to say. As you go, you get a little bit better at it, you get a little more understanding of it and you try to just continue to kind of refresh your skills as a parent."

"'Am I listening or am I talking? Am I mentoring, or am I disciplining? Am I holding them accountable or am I letting them get away with things?' ” explained the dad of three.

On Valentine's Day this year, Brady took a moment to honor all three of his Valentines, sharing a photo of his three kids all huddled up together.

"I ❤️ My Forever Valentines," he captioned the first shot. Next, he added an individual shot of his oldest, writing, "Love you Jack ❤️❤️❤️."

Next was a photo of Benny, sharing a tired smile in his football jersey, where the dad wrote, "...and you too Benny❤️."

Last but not least was a photo of Vivi, where he wrote, "And of course you Vivi❤️❤️❤️. HVD to you all ❤️."
