However, before Tom married Gisele, he had a relationship with Bridget Moynahan, an actress. Shortly after it ended, he received a phone call that changed his life forever. Moynahan kept silent for many years, but she’s finally ready to open up about the events that transpired and what’s happening now. What did she have to say?
The Same Circles
Bridget Moynahan played Erin Reagan in Blue Bloods, a popular CBS drama. That might have been what made her famous, but she was also in other series. As she rose to fame, Tom Brady was doing the same with his football career, so it was inevitable for them to meet.
Immediate Spark
After Bridget and Tom met, they felt a connection. Following a successful first date, they entered into a relationship that lasted three years. However, things fizzled out in 2006, so they ended things. Still, they were shocked about what happened later.
The Blind Date
After breaking up with Bridget, Tom was set up on a special blind date. Could you imagine going to meet your date and realizing it’s the hottest supermodel in the world? That’s not too shabby, and that’s just what happened to Brady!
Before the Relationship
Before Gisele and Tom met, the Boston Herald asked her about him in an interview. She claimed that he was cute but gay to her for the simple fact that he had a girlfriend. She wasn’t interested in meddling or being a homewrecker.
Her Issues
Gisele was in the middle of a breakup, too. She and Leonardo DiCaprio called it quits after six years. After being interviewed by Jimmy Fallon, she revealed that her friends set her up on many blind dates. She agreed to one more, and it changed her life!
Low Expectations
After many other failed dates, Gisele didn’t expect much. However, she was instantly attracted to the man after staring into his “sweet eyes.” She had a feeling they would be together, and Brady felt the same.
Real-life Fairytale
Gisele and Tom were inseparable. Their relationship was doing well, and things were like a fairytale. Though they tried to hide it, news broke out. That tends to happen when you’re a New England Patriots quarterback and model. However, something changed!
The Call
Tom was happy with Gisele, but he then received a call from Bridget, his ex-girlfriend. She told him she was pregnant and that it was his baby. Now, his life was turned around, especially when Moynahan said she was keeping the baby. What about Gisele?!
Hard to Handle
Gisele and Tom had only been dating for two months, but he had to tell her the news. Gisele was blindsided. However, the information had gotten leaked to the press, so they were all in the limelight. She couldn’t end things with Tom, so they had to figure it all out!
Crying at Home
John “Jack” Edward Thomas Moynahan was born in August of 2007. Bridget was a single mom, and the thought caused her to burst into tears. She wished to have a partner to help raise her son, but Tom couldn’t be in that role.
Overstepping the Boundaries
Tom and Gisele got married in 2009, so Jack officially had a stepmother. The model told Vanity Fair that she realized Jack had a mom, but he was still her child, even if someone else delivered him. Rumors exploded because of that comment.
The ‘Bonus Child’
More rumors spread about the tense jealousy between Moynahan and Gisele. However, Gisele addressed it all in one interview. She claimed that she was happy for Jack to be there, and she called him her “bonus child.”
Stopping the Rumors
Bridget wouldn’t address the rumors for years, but she finally released a public statement. In it, she claimed to speak to Gisele and Tom regularly. In fact, her son had two loving parents and was surrounded by love completely.
Extended Family
Bridget shared with People magazine that she and Tom had decided to raise a child together. They both have supportive partners that will help and love their son as if he were their own. She couldn’t ask for anything more than this.
Treated Equally
Tom treats his children equally, and Jack never gets excluded. When you have a superstar athlete father, there are cool perks to enjoy. During the Super Bowl Games, his three children sit together and cheer dad on!
Leaked Emails
Brady ended up with a scandal on his hands in 2015. “Deflategate” caused his personal emails to get leaked online, and they included Bridget’s correspondence. People were surprised to learn that they had cordial and friendly interactions.
Successful Co-Parenting
One of those emails was sent from Bridget and talked about Jack receiving a reading award. She was thrilled he got a reading star pin, and Tom responded that he was a hard worker and a smart child. They’re proud, and that’s all there is to it!
Impressed Psychologists
Rachel Sussman, a psychotherapist and author of The Breakup Bible, claimed that those email exchanges are the perfect examples of co-parenting effectively. You don’t have to be nasty to your ex because the relationship ended.
Sharing Accomplishments
Tom, Gisele, and Bridget get along together and share Jack’s accomplishments. Amy Moring, a psychotherapist and author of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, said that they talk about his achievements without keeping secrets or putting the responsibility on Jack.
Not a Crowd
There’s concrete evidence that all three “parents” are cordial to each other in emails. However, is that how it goes for in-person interactions? Are they polite and friendly when they’re face-to-face?!
All the Same
Sources close to them say that the three are cordial and friendly in person and through email. They want Jack to be surrounded by love and be happy, even with the unconventional situation. Sometimes, they all spend time with the children.
Bridget Moved On
Bridget married Andrew Frankel, an NYC businessman, in 2015. While she did well as a single mom, she welcomed her husband into her life. Now, Jack has three more siblings, which come from Frankel’s previous relationship.
Excellent Role Models
Brady is often asked how he parents three children, and he says that he takes a hint from his parents. They were great role models for him in the past. He believes they showed him how to create a tight-knit family.
Brady a Dad
Tom Brady’s teammates say that he’s the stereotypical American father. He dresses stylishly because of his supermodel wife, but he tells corny dad jokes and doesn’t know which musicians are cool. Clearly, he adores his kids, though!
NFL Superstar Father
Playing in the NFL means that Tom is away for most of the football season. However, this also means his kids can watch their superstar quarterback father. Brady includes Jack, making the games a family affair.
The NYC Condo
Gisele and Tom have successful careers in the spotlight, so their combined net worth is pretty impressive. They own a $14 million condo in Madison One Building, which is in NYC. Since they sit on the 47th floor, they have an amazing view.
City Lights
They find that the views are more incredible at night because the apartment overlooks New York City. Before they owned that place, Gisele and Tom owned other multi-million-dollar apartments in NY, as well.
The Sitting Room
Imagine that you could come home and relax in that sitting room! There are floor-to-ceiling views of NYC, and you get a bird’s eye view. Most of the windows face north and east, but they all provide a stunning look and offer natural lighting throughout the day.
The Dining Room
The apartment’s dining room boasts of those same floor-to-ceiling windows and even has a modern light fixture that makes a bold statement. The couple also checked out an $11.5 million duplex before they chose this one.
Kid’s Bedroom
Could you imagine growing up with floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over NYC, the most popular city in the world? It comes with the territory when you’re Tom Brady’s child. He and Gisele also own a Tampa mansion!
Open Floor Plan
An impressive aspect of Gisele and Tom’s home is their open floor plan. That means they get plenty of natural light. In fact, the whole place is roughly 3,000 square feet, so they pay about $4,242/sq. ft.
Living and Kitchen Areas
Tom and Gisele rely on their bodies for their work, so it’s crucial to have a spacious kitchen. Gisele claims that they eat vegetarian food about 80 percent of the time. Plus, they have a private chef named Allen Campbell, who ensures they stay away from certain things.
The Bathroom
They have a jaw-dropping bathroom, complete with the soaking bathtub. You can see the beautiful city skyline from it. In fact, the entire condo has 2.5 bathrooms in all, and the largest one is off the master bedroom.
Clean and Modern Design
Their condo features a modern and minimalistic design, so there’s no superfluous decor. Though it’s incredible, the Brady family is looking into buying a home in the Tribeca area. It’s 5,000 square feet and costs $20 million!
Marble Tub with a View
It would be nice to end your stressful day in this marble bathtub. It even has a window that overlooks the Big Apple. One Madison condos have actually been available since 2007, but it struggled financially. How could this couple afford that?!
Tom Brady’s Net Worth
You earn a pretty penny as the greatest football player of all time. Therefore, Brady’s net worth is about $200 million. He’s now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after signing a two-year contract for about $50 million. Plus, he earns from his endorsements.
Gisele’s Net Worth
Gisele Bundchen has been known as the top model worldwide since 2004 and has been the highest-paid for many years, though Kendall Jenner claimed the top spot most recently. Because of her endorsements, acting, and modeling, Bundchen has a net worth of $400 million!
Brookline Mansion
Tom and Gisele decided to sell their Los Angeles home to Dr. Dre so that they could purchase a Chestnut Hill customized mansion, which is next to Brookline Country Club. It features 15 bedrooms and is 14,000 square feet! They then sold that.
New Home
After selling the One Madison condo for $14 million, they moved to their Tribeca apartment. It overlooks the Hudson River and features five bedrooms. However, the amenities include squash courts, Yoga/Pilates rooms, cycling studios, and so much more.
The Views
Tom and Gisele’s new home features jaw-dropping panoramic views of the gorgeous Hudson River. In fact, their backyard is Hudson River Park! The new apartment offers more space, allowing them to enjoy time with the children.
