Running In The Same Circles
Bridget Moynahan is best known to audiences for her role as Erin Reagen on CBS show Blue Bloods. She has also appeared in Sex and the City as well as its spinoff And Just Like That, and she also starred in Coyote Ugly alongside Tyra Banks. As Moynahan became more famous, so did Brady, and they were bound to meet at some point.
Running In The Same Circles
An Immediate Spark
After she and Brady met, there was an instant connection between them. After their successful dates, they went on to be in a relationship that would last for three years. However, by 2006, things took a turn and the pair decided to end their relationship. Little did they know, they would end up involved with each other’s lives for good…
An Immediate Spark
A Blind Date
After his relationship with Moynahan ended, Tom was set up on a blind date. Well, as you might imagine, showing up to a blind date that ended up being with the world’s most famous supermodel couldn’t have gone too terribly, right?
A Blind Date
Before Their Relationship
Way before Tom and Gisele even met one another, the Boston Herald asked her about him, and her response couldn’t have been clearer. She said: “He’s cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he’s gay to me.” Gisele made it clear that she was not interested in anyone who is in a relationship.
Before Their Relationship
Her Own Breakup
Gisele had been dating actor Leonardo DiCaprio for six years before the pair decided to end their relationship. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, she shared that her friends had been setting her up on blind dates, but none of them were going well. She decided to try one last time, and this final blind date would change her life forever.
Her Own Breakup
Low Expectations
After so many blind dates that hadn’t gone too well, she really didn’t have expectations that this would be any different. In the same interview with Jimmy Fallon, she explained that when she met Tom, she knew that she was immediately interested after gazing into his “sweet eyes.” After the date, she had a feeling they would end up together. Brady felt the same way she did, and they started dating.
Low Expectations
A Real-Life Fairytale
From the moment the pair started dating, they were inseparable. They were so happy together and things were going so well that it felt like their relationship was a fairytale. They wanted to keep their relationship quiet for a while, but that’s pretty tough considering they’re some of the most famous people in the world. The news was bound to come out. Little did they know that a phone call would soon change the course of their lives.
A Real Life Fairytale
The Call
While the two were blissfully happy in their new relationship, Brady received a very unexpected phone call from his ex Bridget. What was she calling about? She was pregnant, and he was the father. In an instant, his life changed completely, especially since Bridget told him she was keeping the baby. He now had to face Gisele with this news.
The Call
Hard To Digest
Tom received this life changing phone call when he and Gisele had been together for just two months. When he finally told her, she felt absolutely blindsided. What made matters way worse was the fact that somehow this news leaked to the press, and the three were all hounded by the press. Gisele didn’t feel that she wanted to end her relationship with Tom, and she thought they could figure things out.
Hard To Digest
She Cried After Coming Home
In August 2007. John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan was born. When Bridget came back to the hospital, it truly dawned on her that she was going to be a single mother, and the prospect made her burst into tears. She wanted a partner to raise her child with, but she knew that Tom was not going to be that man.

Overstepping Boundaries
In 2009, Tom and Gisele got married, so that meant that Gisele officially became Jack’s stepmother. While speaking to Vanity Fair, Gisele said: “I understand that [Jack] has a mom, and I respect that, but to me, it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child.” Following this statement, rumors immediately began to swirl and people claimed that this had to mean there was tension between her and Bridget.
Overstepping Boundaries
Her “Bonus Child”
As these rumors continued to rage on, Gisele decided it was time to put them to rest. In another interview, she shared that she is so happy that Jack is a part of their lives and that not only does she love him, but she considers him her “bonus child.”
Her Bonus Child
Shutting Down Rumors
For many years, Bridget refused to address any of the rumors that had been floating around, but she had finally had enough. In a statement, she revealed that she is regularly in touch with Tom and Gisele. She stated: “My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.”
Shutting Down Rumors
An Extended Family
In an interview with People magazine, Bridget explained: “Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together, and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child but also loved our child as if he was their own. I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love and grandparents that go on forever, and it’s all good.”
An Extended Family
Treated Equally
When it comes to his kids, Tom loves all of his children equally and Jack is never left out. When your father is one of the most famous athletes in the world, there are some pretty great perks that come along with it. All three of his children (Jack, Vivian, and Benjamin) would all sit together on the sidelines in order to cheer him on. Bridget, however, was never present at these games.
Treated Equally
The Leaked Emails
In 2015, Brady faced a scandal that would affect his career for more than a year. In fact, due to “Deflategate,” some of his personal emails were leaked online, some of which included messages he sent to Moynahan. A lot of people were pretty surprised that their interactions were cordial and friendly, but also not too friendly. It was nice to see that they could really co-parent.
The Leaked Emails
Co-Parenting Successfully
One message that Bridget sent to Tom read: “Isn’t it cool that Jack got a reading award!? He gets to wear a reading star pin now too. So proud.” Tom’s response was: “He is such a smart boy. And he is a hard worker. I’m so proud of him.”
Co Parenting Successfully
Psychologists Impressed
Author of The Breakup Bible and psychotherapist Rachel Sussman explained that their email exchanges are a great model for exes that are co-parenting. She explains: “Just because a relationship ends, that doesn’t mean you have to spend the rest of your life being nasty to your ex.”
Psychologists Impressed
Sharing Accomplishments
Author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do and psychotherapist Amy Morin further explained: “Instead of keeping secrets or making it Jack’s responsibility to tell the other parent what’s going on, they’re able to talk about his accomplishments freely.” It’s amazing that Tom, Gisele, and Bridget are able to communicate about Jack’s accomplishments with one another.
Sharing Accomplishments
Three’s A Crowd?
While we have seen concrete evidence that Tom, Gisele, and Bridget are all cordial with one another in emails, what about their in-person interactions? Is is just as friendly and cordial, or are things different once they are face to face?
Three’s A Crowd?
Just The Same
Sources that are close to them have said that in their in-person interactions, the three as just as cordial as in their emails. The main thing is that they all have Jack’s best interest at heart and they want him to grow up in a loving environment with a supportive family, despite their untraditional situation. Many times, the three spend time with all three of the children at the same time.
Just The Same
Bridget Moves On

All of his teammates always say that Tom is the stereotypical American dad. Although he dresses stylishly thanks to his supermodel wife, he is never aware of who the cool musicians are and he loves corny dad jokes. It is very clear that he adores all of his children and is always happy to see them cheering him on on the sidelines during games.

NFL Superstar Dad
Being an NFL star does mean that Tom has to spend a serious amount of time away from home, but during the NFL season, his kids often have the opportunity to watch their superstar dad play. He always makes sure that Jack is included so that the entire family is a part of the fun.
