All About Tommy DeVito's Parents, Tom and Alexandra DeVito

The New York Giants quarterback is the son of Tom and Alexandra DeVito

Get to know Tommy DeVito's parents.

The NFL player made headlines in 2023 when, as an undrafted free agent, he was selected by the New York Giants to lead the team as quarterback. At the time, he was still living at his New Jersey childhood home with his dad Tom and mom Alexandra.

“Honestly, I don't even know if I could find a place closer to here than where I live. It takes me 12 minutes to get here,” DeVito told ESPN of his commute to MetLife Stadium ahead of his career start on Nov. 12, 2023, against the Dallas Cowboys.

“Tommy was born to do this," his father Tom told The New York Post. “I’m not surprised, and I’m not trying to sound cocky, but Tommy’s been training for his since he was 5 years old," the proud dad confidently added. “People think, ‘Oh, he’s undrafted,’ and they wonder why he’s here... He’s here because [Giants coach Brian] Daboll knows he’s got a diamond in the rough."

In November 2024, the Giants benched their starting quarterback Daniel Jones, and promoted DeVito indefinitely.

They have two sons, Tommy and Max

Tom and Alexandra are the parents of two sons, Tommy and Max, who they raised in Cedar Grove, N.J.

Both of their sons played football in high school, though DeVito played for Don Bosco Prep while Max played for Cedar Grove. After graduating, DeVito played college football at Syracuse and Illinois while Max played for Salve Regina University.

In May 2022, Max earned his master's degree in business administration from the Rhode Island institution, according to his LinkedIn, and has shared several photos from Newport on his Instagram.

Tom works in plumbing and heating

Tom works in the plumbing and heating business in New Jersey, according to his family service's Facebook page. DeVito told The New York Post that his dad "used to work 100-hour weeks."

Alexandra is a proud mom

Alexandra often praises DeVito and Max on social media, from sweet birthday tributes to photos of their family outings. She also shared her excitement over DeVito's career start for the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys.

"His DREAM to start in THE N.F.L.," she captioned an Instagram post that featured a video clip of an NBC broadcast announcing her son's advancement on the team.

Tom "never missed" any of Tommy's games

When speaking to The Post, DeVito praised his father and his commitment to him as an athlete on the rise. "He never missed a game," the Giants QB said of Tom, who always showed up despite his busy work schedule.

"He traveled to every college game I started," DeVito continued. "He was here for every [Giants] minicamp and practice."

Alexandra made Tommy's bed while he was living at home

Ahead of his first NFL career start in November 2023, the undrafted free agent revealed to ESPN that living with his parents was a “no-brainer."

"Everything that I need is there at the house,” he said of his childhood home in Cedar Grove — just a hop, skip and a jump from the Giants’ practice facility and stadium.

“The decision was made since this level of football is stressful for a rookie, especially from the quarterback position,” he continued. “There is a lot going on, a lot of meetings. So everything outside of football is handled by my family.”

And when DeVito said “everything outside of football,” he meant it.

"I don't have to worry about laundry, what I'm eating for dinner, chicken cutlets and all that is waiting for me when I get there. My mom still makes my bed,” he told ESPN. “Everything is handled for me.”

Tom knew his son was destined to be a leader early on

In addition to supporting DeVito at his games, Tom attended "every one" of his son's high school practices at Don Bosco. He also drove him home afterward when he wasn't able to drive.

Tom recalled the specific moment he saw his son as a "leader" when speaking to The Post. One night when he went to pick up DeVito from practice, he said his son stayed late to accompany a teammate in a punishment-like workout, a "period" he compared to "prison."

"I was waiting for Tommy one day to drive him home and was like, ‘Where’s Tommy? Where’s my son?’," Tom remembered. He said DeVito "wouldn't let" his teammate "do the period alone."

"It was like reporting to prison on your own," Tom added. “Right there. That’s when I saw this kid’s a leader. That’s when I knew this kid gets it, he knows how to lead," he continued. "That was the most impressive thing I ever saw him do on the field. You’re nothing if you’re not a leader at that position.’’
