Bridget Moynahan, who split from pro player Tom Brady years ago, is finally in a happy place when it comes to love.

Many of us will recall how Moynahan and Brady divorced after two years together, with Moynahan stating shortly thereafter that she was three months pregnant with the couple’s kid, who is now sixteen.

Sadly, Moynahan experienced her first and last pregnancy as a single mother. Fortunately, her story ended happily.

Journey as a single mother

Bridget Moynahan, 52, honestly discussed her unexpected journey as a single mother in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2008, confessing: “I never thought I would raise a child alone,” adding, “and I want something equal to that in my life, as a partner, lover, friend.”

Finding out she was pregnant in the first place was not only unexpected for the actress and former model, but it also provided a hurdle for Moynahan, who claims she believed in marriage before having children.

During the same Harper’s Bazaar interview, Moynahan stated, “I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I always thought that’s the way I’d be doing this. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.”

Relationship with Tom Brady

Moynahan’s relationship with former NFL star Tom Brady ended “amicably” in early December 2006, according to People, but took an unexpected turn when she found she was three months pregnant shortly after their split.

By then, Brady had moved on with supermodel Gisele Bündchen (who he supposedly met on a blind date the same month he split from Moynahan, according to WSJ Magazine), complicating the matter even further.

Reflecting on the “traumatic” experience, Moynahan admitted that she was forced to go through a pregnancy and have a child in the face of huge media attention, saying, “I’m not sure anyone – and I could be wrong in this – grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.”

While Moynahan was raising her son, Jack, Brady and Bündchen married in February 2009, according to Vogue France. Only ten months later, they welcomed their first child, Benjamin. They had their second child, Vivian, in December 2012. They divorced in 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
