Bridget Moynahan on how she and ex Tom Brady successfully co-parent
The actress and football star have a son together.
Bridget Moynahan recently spoke about a very sensitive time in her life -- her split with Tom Brady.
The actress, 47, who shares a son, Jack, 11, with the New England Patriots star, also discussed how the two make a good co-parenting team in an interview with People magazine.
Both have since remarried -- Moynahan to Andrew Frankel in 2015 and Brady to supermodel Gisele Bündchen in 2009 -- but their split and Moynahan's pregnancy garnered serious attention in 2006 and 2007.
"Being pregnant and having a baby are such personal, intimate moments,” she told People. “I would have cars following me, and men hiding in the bushes outside my house."
"As a new mother, you want to just protect your child," she added. "That kind of attention felt like a threat.”
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.
Bündchen, who had been dating Brady for two months when she found out about Moynahan's pregnancy, told People in an interview last year: "It wasn’t the ideal situation for anyone — there’s no manual to prepare you for that. But I’m so grateful for [Bridget]. I know this was hard, but I couldn’t imagine my life without [Jack]. I call him my bonus child.”
Moynahan said she and Brady have both found supportive partners to help raise Jack.
“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,” she said.
“I don’t think you can ask for more than that," she added. "My son is surrounded by love.”
