Bridget Moynahan Is in Love with a Much Younger Man

Do mothers really dress like this? Actress Bridget Moynahan who is perhaps more famous for being NFL star Tom Brady's baby mama has gone model in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. The svelte single mommy to 9-month-old, John (Jack) is the subject of a sexy pictorial that has the siren pushing a stroller and packing groceries, whisking batter in stilettos and leaning cribside in lingerie. While the shots scream adult playdate rather than multitasking mother of one, the accompanying interview sheds light on the woman who became tabloid fodder when she announced her pregnancy hot on the heels of her public break-up from the New England Patriot's quarterback. She said:

“Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me,” says Moynahan. “But I got so much out of that. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f*cked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”

While raising babe alone isn't the easiest of undertakings, it certainly has its rewards. The article said:

“I have become that mother I used to dread,” Moynahan admits, shamelessly enumerating the things that Jack has been doing lately. As of press time, they included clapping, crawling, and standing up. “Every time he does something, you think he’s a genius.” She pauses and deadpans, “He’s totally a genius.”

    I think she wanted to get pregnant despite whatever outcome her relationship with Tom Brady had. BUT that's just my opinion of course Eye-wink

    You know, this is not the first time I have heard her give an interview talking about how hard it was/is for her, blah, blah, blah.... I totally don't know the whole story, but I feel like she is just pimping out the whole "single mom" thing to get attention and pity from everyone. I admire her for having the guts to go through with the pregnancy once she and Tom Brady were broken up, but enough already - I don't feel that she is genuine and a lot of this smacks of "look at me, aren't I great?"... IMHO, of course! Eye-wink

    wow, judgmental much?? Nobody knows the whole story except for Tom and Bridget. There is always more to it than meets the eye. I have been where she is...single mom and I was also pregnant with my 2nd when my ex husband decided to leave me for a stripper he had met. I can understand how hard it is to be in that situation. Regardless of how everything was with Tom..there is a beautiful baby boy and she seems really happy now.

    I won't pretend to like Tom Brady...I don't, never did even when he was with Bridget. But it would be great if we saw him with his son once in awhile. I think I have seen a total of 3 or 4 pictures of them...AND Giselle. That has got to be hard for Bridget. She probably figured she would marry Tom eventually.

    All I am saying...walk a mile in someone else's shoes and see how you would feel afterwards.

    faerymagick15, I almost was in your shoes, so definately know how it feels - fortuantely, we reconciled before my baby was born. I also have a friend whose bf walked out on her when he found out she was pregnant and another whose husband left her WHILE SHE WAS DELIVERING their child, so I DO KNOW what it is like. I totally admire any single mom out there, especially those who do it totally without any support from the man, like my two friends have done.

    She looks fantastic and seems to be a doting mother. It's got to be a tough situation for both mother and father.

    Bridget looks superb. I don't ever get the impression from her she is looking to garner single parent sympathy. Tom if anything gives the appearance parenting isn't one of his top priorities.

    I actually know someone who is best friends with Tom's mom, so she's like his auntie. Now, I know her opinion is biased but keep in mind that she always liked Bridget better than Gisele, and was totally non-plussed at their breakup.

    She told me that Tom's parents weren't allowed to see their grandchild until after the first magazine spread was released so that they wouldn't "violate the exclusivity of the pictures". Tom isn't allowed to visit very often, but does when he can. She went off the Pill without telling him she was doing it, and expected him to marry her when she turned up pregnant. She also has 2 nannies.

    I'm sorry, but I don't have all that much sympathy for her. She has money and is getting more because of this situation. She also put herself exactly where she is through her own actions. Good for her for making it work, but I don't buy into her pity party.

    i think it was brave of her to come out and admit that this isn't how she planned her life and that she was overwhelmed with parenthood at first. this article made me sad for her start at parenting and happy for her that she is embracing where she is now.

    I agree with MartiniLush...she is coming off as desperately seeking pity and always trying to make Tom look like the bad guy. Hopefully she will stop by the time the little boy can read.

    I don't have the full story by any means, but I have to say that I've never gotten the vibe from Bridget that she really wanted him to have any part in the parenting. Seemed like an all or "you left and don't get to see him" kind of thing. He was a football player with a contract the entire time they dated... it's not like she didn't know he had to gone a lot. And to end it all out... it takes two.

    He isn't allowed to see him much? And Tom Brady has no money to go to court and rectify the situation? I'm not saying that Bridget Moynahan is a saint because really I think she should keep her mouth shut about the situation, but I don't see Tom Brady doing anything but playing around with Gisele.

    "the single mom thing??" that's some people's reality not a label you should think gets people attention or sympathy. i give all single moms out there respect and props. it's hard enough trying to raise a child with both parents...

    Whoever said "this is not the first time I have heard her give an interview talking about how hard it was/is for her".... obviously doesn't have a clue.

    This IS the FIRST time Bridget has given an interview about her pregnancy.

    She's been remarkably mum up until now about talking about what she went through.

    And frankly, I think she comes off as frank and thoughtful about what she went through and her though process re. single motherhood. You need to read the entire article at Harpersbazaar.com. I I don't get any whiny vibe from her at all.

    I don't think you're going to see Tom with the baby 24/7 when he lives and works ON THE OTHER SIDE of the country. I think it's unfair when people complain about him. His parents live in CA, and I think hers live in MA, so hopefully there'll be lots of fun visits when the little man gets better. The readers really dislike him on celebrity baby blog. I can't even read their comments.

    I'm going to call bullsh*t on mini pixie. Tom and his parents were at the hospital when John was born, and Tom told Sports Illustrated that held his son after he was born. Its crazy to think that his parents weren't right there with Tom and the baby.

    Well, I'm glad she's happy with her decision.

    Personally, I don't have sympathy for her either. She made the decision to be exactly where she is. She's not a victim. Per her interview, having her son is "the best thing in the world." She's not feeling sorry for herself, and I don't either.

    Again, I wish to have her after-baby body. Gosh, she looks GREAT.

    I don't feel sorry for her because she doesn't seem to feel sorry for herself and she seems happy with her life and being a mom. It's good!

    And for those who claim that Tom Brady was prevented from seeing his son. LMAO!

    He has the money to FIGHT for the right to see his child if his ex was doing that to him. And he'll win his rights too!
    Even the grandparents can sue for visitation. REALLY. I know that because I've had my parents-in-laws having to sue an ex-wife of my bro-in-law for visitation of their granddaughter. And THEY WON. They still have her twice a month for weekend (although now that they're on good terms: she came every weekend).
    Tom Brady and his family (parents) can easily win visitation too. He's the FATHER for god's sake, and he's a FAMOUS QB and I haven't heard him getting in trouble with the laws.

    I'm not blaming him for wanting to enjoy his single life (I'm sure he didn't expect or even want a kid w/ his ex Laughing out loud ), his new top model gf and partying and traveling. I mean everyone has their own priority in life, just because he's not comfortable being a father and lacks the willingness to pursue more time to spend with his child, it doesn't change the fact that he's a great QB for the Patriots and practically a 'hero' to his hometown people and a 'celeb athlete.'

    I just wonder why Bridget Monayhan hasn't filed for child support yet via the court system, w/ the paparazzi looming around, we'd have heard by now if she did it.
    I mean, a lot of people do it (celebs or not), that's why I think that there are some good compromise between the 2 separated parents regarding their child (although they both surely aren't in relationship anymore). And that's why I don't think she's out there trying to get money out of Brady. In fact, I think she's pretty private. Much more private then K-FED, Denise Richards, and other nutso celebs out there who are experiencing similar situation.

    As a mom, I totally celebrate motherhood and my hats are off for those single moms. Smiling

    that second pic is a bit odd - nothing says sexy like leaning against a baby's cot
    and i'm one of those who thinks she's pandering for pity. my opinion.

    You know after breakups truths tend to be twisted. SO none of us really know if she "went off the pill without his knowledge" or if this was even a planned pregenancy. All we know is they broke up, she announced her pregnancy. I know how hard divorce is and I cannot imagine how hurtful it was to see tabloid pics of him with his new supermodel girlfriend while you are getting bigge every day. Bravo to her for making it into a positive thing instead of spending this interview trashing him. And if she limits his visits I can certainly see why.

    i think she looks FANTASTIC... so the baby's nine months and she looks like THIS (so i've got what two months to go before i get my 'old body' back? hahah)

    and there's three sides to every story... his, hers & the truth. i'll admit that i think brady is an @hole.... but then again i'm a jets fan... i' m not the only one http://www.dickipedia.org/dick.php?title=Tom_Brady (btw this links got some offcolor language to anyone who may be offended).

    Mommies can be sexy, yes, I agree. I just think that one picture could have been conveyed in a different way. I find something odd about a woman in a negligee leaning against what is supposed to be her sons bed. (I know it's not really her sons bed, but it's representative of it). I don't think I have anything I need to "get over", I think we're all entitled to our opinions. I wasn't judging her or her situation, I was judging the photographers style of what is art. I don't think she's a bad person, I don't think the photographer is a bad person, I just thought the photo was in poor taste.

    I assmue that the reason Bridget hires two nannies is that she has been working for some movies and having some modeling work we saw some already . She is not a single housewife.

    Like any other single affordable working mothers hiring nunnies, she can afford for herself and why not? Besides, she may have hired nannies only while she's working, you never know. Then Tom's mother's best friend picking up such things to put Bridget's reputation down. You never know.

    One more, I also understand that Bridget want to save her first son's picture in good cause (she donated charities for OK! mag shoot) This is what every celebrity doing for their babbis and you buy the mags and see the celeb's babis. Why does only Bridget be blamed for doing this? You can't deny that her baby's pic was the most wanted at that time. Shame on you, mini-pixi.

    I wonder what kind of relative would even divulge any personal info anyway?? What is she...his aunt or something, mini-pixi?? I haad heard Tom and his parents were there shortly after the birth or right at the time of it. Sounds like that story is a bit...fishy. Like I said...I do not like Tom Brady, but nobody knows the whole story except Tom and Bridget. There is his side, her side, and then the truth...which none of us will ever know.

    A. She's not a typical single mom that has to struggle to make ends meet. Still, I'm sure her life is a bit more complicated than before baby.
    B. Nobody knows how she got pregnant except for her and maybe Tom, everything else is hearsay.

    I don't mind the photos, I think they're cute and playful. I think that's supposed to be a nighty in the crib photo. All new moms feel like wearing such skimpy things after giving birth. Eye-wink NOT!

    I'm not trying to say I know the whole story either, and like I said my friend (who is Almost an auntie, not the real thing) was really distressed at Tom & Bridget's breakup. The whole family is strongly Catholic and were saddened by the fact that there was a baby coming into the picture without a marriage before hand.

    I have no idea when Tom first met John, I'm sure you are right that he was there shortly after the birth if not right away. But I stand by what I said, his parents were not allowed to see him until much later, and were not allowed to take a single picture. I'm not saying it was right or wrong on her part, I'm sure the charity was deserving, but I personally think it must have been hard to have a granchild for months and have no pics of them.

    But as for saying shame on me? Where do you get off speculating on a celebrity's personal life if the people who actually know him aren't allowed to?

    I'm sure that the whole situation ended up differently than what each of the participants would have wished it to (hello, that's kinda how life goes). And I'm glad that everyone is making the best of the situation that they can. I just don't have any pity/ sympathy for her, and I'm not the only person who thinks she's digging for it.

    She is beautiful and I hope she finds happiness.I think she handled the situation with class.I never heard her comment on him negatively.I think she found out she was pregnant after or around the same time they broke up and she waited to tell him.He then hooked up with G.S.The rest played out the way it did and she kept her head up high.They were together along time and I imagine she still loves him deep down inside.I hope she finds a new love and happiness!

    I think that picture of her posing next to the crib in her lingerie is hilarious. I bet Giselle is cracking up somewhere

    And if y'all think she looks good for just having a baby, keep in mind I think she had that baby a LONG TIME AGO NOW!

    Right on: haute77. I agree.

    I read that article I guess last month about Bridget.. but I'm so confused about something. Was she Mr. Big's wife on Sex and The City? The one he cheated on with Carrie? She looks just like her. I haven't had time to do the research yet. But the math/age stuff added up. In the show the character Natasha was 25. So if it was her she was maybe a year or two older than 25 back then.

    I didn't even buy into the relationship crap. I didn't really care when I read the article..

    BUT:
    "Do mothers really dress like this?"..." While the shots scream adult playdate rather than multitasking mother of one"...

    That is SO ridiculous! So she doesn't dress like a soccer mom heading up into Walmart for a Saturday morning shopping trip with her sister?

    A majority of the time I am dressed in slinky lingerie at home cooking and cleaning in the morning-time or evenings.. And then I wear pretty dresses with 4-5" platform heels to work.

    Sorry she didn't wear chapstick, sweatpants or leggins for ya!

    (How else do you keep a man around? In a turtleneck?)
