John Legend and Tom Brady are getting real about fatherhood.

On the latest episode of their SiriusXM show, Let’s Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray, Gray asked the retired NFL star, 46, and the EGOT winner, 44, how their kids feel about having to “share, as a child, your father with the world.”

Of Legend’s four children — Wren Alexander, 5 months, Esti Maxine, 11 months, Miles Theodore, 5, and Luna Simone, 7 — the singer said they “seem to take it pretty well.”

“They take it in stride. They’re used to it now. They know that their mom and dad are famous. They know, you know, their friends see their mom and dad on television,” he said of the older pair.

“They see billboards with my face on it for The Voice or for my Vegas residency or whatever … So I think they feel proud of me and proud of my music and proud that people love what I do and what my wife does.”

Brady admitted that as a parent, “it’s challenging. We have unique challenges for our own kids. We try to teach ’em the right values and so forth. But at the same time, I feel like for me, when I’m out with my kids, I really wanna be with them, you know?”

“And I really make it clear to people, ‘Sorry, I’m just out here enjoying my time with my family, you know?’ And whether I’m at a game for my son, and I love doing that, but, you know, a lot of times the attention gets shifted to us and I don’t want to take away from their moments ’cause this is their important part of their life and their maturation,” the father of three shared.

Brady is dad to Vivian Lake, 11, and Benjamin Rein, 14, with ex Gisele Bündchen, and Jack, 16, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.

Brady also said he wants his kids to understand that “everything comes at a cost.”

“The reason we get to go on a lot of fun vacations and you guys go to schools and have people to help [is because] we have to deal with some things that are different than everyone else,” he continued. “So there’s no straight arrow for anyone in life. Everyone’s gonna find different curves and turns and twists and trying to just be a great parent.”
