During the peak of his professional life, Tom Brady was surrounded by controversy after discovering his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, was pregnant with his first child after their breakup. At the time, Brady had already moved on with Gisele Bündchen, but the New England Patriots legend managed to co-parent his first child with his ex-girlfriend.
During a 2008 interview with Harper Bazaar, the Hollywood actress Bridget Moynahan opened up about how finding out she was having a kid with her ex-boyfriend Tom Brady turned her whole life upside down.
“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,” Moynahan told Harper Bazaar in 2008. “But I got so much out of that. It’s golden, and it’s tough and it was fu*ked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”
Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan dated for nearly three years before the pair decided to split in December 2006. Moynahan was first described as Brady’s love interest by a magazine in 2004 after the couple was spotted kissing during the 2004 Super Bowl victory party.

Bridget Moynahan opened up about co-parenting with Tom Brady

Despite Bridget Moynahan’s traumatic split with the former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, the I, Robot star decided to raise their son John Edward Thomas Moynahan in the healthiest environment possible by co-parenting.
“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,” Moynahan told People Magazine in a 2019 interview. “I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.”
Brady also once highly spoke of Moynahan about how he can be himself around her. “I can be myself around her, and there’s not many people I can be myself around. It’s fun to be around your best friends who know you well, and she’s someone that I consider one of my very best friends,” Brady told Steve Kroft during his 60 minutes’ interview back in 2005.
Following their break up, Tom Brady began dating the Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and ended up marrying her. Brady had 2 children with Gisele and was happily married to her for more than a decade before the couple decided to split in 2022.
