The retired football player has two daughters, Brittany Favre and Breleigh Favre, both of whom he shares with his wife Deanna Favre.

The Super Bowl champion became a father before his NFL career started. Although Brett toldESPNin 2004 that “there was a time when I thought football was the most important,” he went on to say that, “Family is obviously the most important. Football will be over at some point, the family goes on.”

In September 2024, Brett revealedhe was diagnosed with Parkinson’s diseasewhile testifying in front of Congress about Prevacus, a company researching a cure for concussions. The former NFL player was accused of convincing Mississippi lawmakers to give him $2 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds and using the money himself.

Two years before his diagnosis, on an episode ofOur American Stories, Brett opened up about the importance of making sure his kids always know their dad loves them. At the time, he revealed that his late father Irvin Favre “never told us he loved us.” The former quarterback was “determined” if he ever had sons to tell them he loved them as much as possible. “Now I had two girls, and I told them I loved them,” he said.

When Brett was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016, the dad of twogushed, “Believe me, I’m blessed. I’m an extremely blessed man. I look at my family, what a lucky man.” The football star also pointed out in his speech at the ceremony that children “grow up and they’re out of [the] house very quickly.”

He added, “And the things that our parents said to us that we said, ‘Yeah, right, Mom. Yeah, right, Dad.’ Well, they come true. And so the same things I tell my daughters and have told them: Love them while you can, they grow up quickly.”

Here is everything to know about Brett Favre’s daughters.

Brett welcomed Brittany around 1989 — according to theGreen Bay Press Gazette, she was born three years before her dad went to Green Bay in 1992.

The athlete became a grandfather in April 2010 with the birth of Brittany’s first child, sonParker Brett. The NFL star confirmed the news on his website at the time, perCBS News.

Brittany graduated from Loyola Law in New Orleans in May 2015. The following year, at Brett’s Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the proud dad praised his attorney daughter, calling her “extremely bright and [a] beautiful young lady.”

Speaking to theBleacher Reportin 2015, Brittany revealed that she “went through a painful divorce the winter” before she started law school. About five months after she thought her “life had fallen apart,” she met her now-husband, Alex. Brittany told the outlet that he was the reason she “didn’t quit after my first year.”

“I would go through these phases where I just felt lonely and selfish for leaving Parker, and Alex had a way of calming me and helping me remember the purpose of this struggle,” she added.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 during her second year of law school and welcomed their first child together, son Alexander James or “AJ,” during her third year. Brittany and Alex also share a second sonnamedOscar. The mom of three regularly shares photos of her boys on her Instagram page, includinga sweet snapof Parker, AJ and Oscar in suits at the end of 2023.

Brittany appeared on the first season of ABC’sClaim to Fame. “My dad and I are really close. I did inherit his competitive nature. At my house, winning is the only option,” she said in the second episode.

Brett’s elder daughter continued, “I was born before he became successful, so I got to witness the entire rise from an unknown to known. Don’t let my kindness fool you. I used to be an attorney and know how to win.”

She said, “He loves all competition television shows, of course. So he’s super excited that he actually has, you know, like a stake in one of them. He’s super proud of me and proud of how I handled myself.”
