Superstar quarterback Tom Brady and Hollywood actress Bridget Moynahan captivated the public with their whirlwind romance. As per the reports, their love story began back in 2004. It was a year of triumph for the NFL star as he had clinched his second Lombardi Trophy with the New England Patriots.
By July of that year, the pair had embarked on a romantic journey together. After making their relationship public, Brady and Moynahan made their presence felt at glamorous events. They attended the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party and the highly coveted Met Gala together. Yet, after almost three blissful years, the couple decided to part ways on amicable terms. And their relationship came to an end in December 2006.
The actual reason behind the break-up of Tom Brady and Moynahan is still unknown. But reports suggest that after a few months of their split, Moynahan got to know that she was pregnant with Brady‘s child. And at that time, Tom Brady had already moved on with his now ex-wife Gisele Bundchen.
“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. But I got so much out of that… Now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world,” Moynahan said in an interview.
In August 2007, Moynahan gave birth to their son, John ‘Jack’ Edward Thomas. And after two years, Tom Brady and Bundchen sealed their love with matrimony in 2009. The power couple also had two children of their own, a son Benjamin Rein and a daughter Vivian Lake.

Tom Brady and Gisele were already together when his and Moynahan’s son Jack was born. But they decided to co-parent their child despite the circumstances. Bridget Moynahan, in an interview, talked about how their main idea was to give their child a positive environment.
“From the very beginning, the whole goal specifically was to always keep it positive. To raise a son in the healthiest environment, and I know we’ve all done that, and it shows,” she said.

Tom Brady himself acknowledged the challenges he and Gisele faced when they learned of Moynahan’s pregnancy. He talked about how it was “hard” for Gisele as none of them had imagined such a situation.
“It was an interesting time because we found out after that my ex-girlfriend was pregnant with my oldest son… It was hard for my wife and for my son’s mom because she didn’t envision that either,” Tom Brady said.
Despite initial shock and adjustment, Gisele Bundchen embraced her “bonus child” with love and compassion. And reports indicate that she has always cherished her relationship with Jack. Remarkably, over time, Tom Brady and Moynahan managed to maintain a cordial friendship while co-parenting their child.
