He and Tina had been dating just a few months after he divorced his ex-wife, Taketa, who also happens to be one of his closest friends. She emphasized that they had just returned from the funeral of her mother, and at that time she got the news, which made her worry about how well he could be doing. Brady discovered a few weeks later, after returning from his grandmother’s funeral in the Virgin Islands, that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant. Their new baby boy was named Val Henry at birth.
Taketa said that she and her family were blessed and loved this baby. She expressed, "The more, the merrier. This family is going to grow. I'm telling you. I'm a Pisces and I just know. But yeah, I was concerned."

As per Brady what mattered most was raising his son with utmost love and care. He said to People, “I never want Val to grow up thinking that he should be ashamed or look back and go, ‘Oh, my dad didn't want me,’ or he was ashamed of me." He shows the same love to Val as he always has for Maile and ensuring both feel equally loved. He added, "Because I want him, in his own way, to know that I love him as much as I love Maile, who is of me and that I had a part in creating. So I had to do that work."
