Why Is Bundchen Holding Bridget's Baby?

April 17, 2008 12:17 PM

Fn_tom_baby_080417_mn It’s bad enough when the cheerleader steals your super-popular quarterback boyfriend. It’s even worse when she stars in a photo-op with the baby you had with him.

If Bridget Moynahan was still in high school, she might have spent the morning sobbing into her diary. Today, the first photos of her son with his dad, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, were released, but she wasn’t in them. In Moynahan’s place was Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel Brady left her for, cradling John Edward Thomas Moynahan (aka JET) as Brady held a car door open for them.

Brady and Moynahan dated from 2004 to late 2006. When Bundchen bounded into the picture, Brady dumped the actress, despite the fact that she was pregnant. He was present for John’s birth on Aug. 22, but Moynahan retains full custody of the kid.

Though apparently, she doesn’t have say over who gets to hold him. Bundchen already stole her boyfriend -- she’s been seen rocking a large diamond ring, suggesting she and Brady could be headed to the altar –- is her baby next?

If you're going to get dumped for another woman, getting dumped for a supermodel would be the best! I would think your self esteem wouldn't be hurt as much as if you were dumped for a plain jane type..... I mean, who COULD compete with supermodel Gisele?

Being a supermodel doesn't mean you have class, of course Brady wouldn't know anything about class either.

I think that Moynahan is more attractive personally. Super model, ew. Anyway, I think that she isn't the kind to hold a grudge anyway. She knows it's important for Brady, no matter what kind of a creep his is, to be a part of her son's life. I hope that she holds strong.

I think Bridget is much more attractive than Giselle. Brady is an idiot. Giselle looks like a tranny.

Giselle is a she-man. She looks decent in ads, but she is totally touched up. Bridget is better looking and Tom is a jack asss.

I seriously can't believe ABC News ran this trashy article. Shouldn't the article be focused on the fact that JET now has even more wonderful, caring women to love him. And anyone that has been in a relationship knows that the only reason it ends is because there was an inherent problem with the relationship to begin with - not because some super model came along. Shame on ABC.

To dump someone while they are pregnant or even right after the baby comes is low class - in my opinion. But then, I have never considered Brady to be a classy guy. As for Giselle holding the baby, that is no big deal. Obviously, Bridget allowed Tom to take the kid out - so she must feel safe doing that and must have known that Giselle would be around and would probably be nice to the kid. I'm sure that Bridget could care less. Finally, hugging a baby for the cameras does not imply that she will be there to love the kid - doesn't mean she wouldn't be there either. It's just a photo op.

somewhere Peter Jennings is rolling in his grave. This is tabloid trash, way beneath ABC. Bridget got pregnant, did that mean that Tom was supposed to stay in a bad relationship? Are you kidding me? He's now in a committed relationship with another woman and she is getting to know his son too. Good for him, good for her.

Posted by: Wendy | Apr 17, 2008 1:08:48 PM

I agree that this is tabloid stuff. But I don't think Giselle or Tom or 90% of the jet set for that matter know what committed means. With few exceptions, the relationships are short lived at best - until it gets tough or someone better comes along. And BTW, Bridget didn't just get pregnant - Tom knocked her up - so I'm old fashioned and think he should stick around and help at least through that time - but I'm sure I'm just old fashioned.

Someone has to holod the baby. And did anyone ever stop to think that the mom is over it and doesn't give a care who is holding the baby as long as the baby is loved and taken care of? Please....for all the step parents out there who know any better.....please start speaking up! And the whole looks thing. Give me a break. Maybe he has a taste for beautiful women but it's not how most people end up loving someone else. Step into the deep end people.

It will be interesting to see who Tom dumps Giselle for when she gets pregnant with his child.

Posted by: Seven | Apr 17, 2008 1:45:19 PM

I believe she's mature enough to just be happy knowing that the new person in her ex's life would take care of and love her child.

Posted by: Linda | Apr 17, 2008 1:48:09 PM

I think its great that Brady is just seeing the kid! Its one thing to dump the mom, but other than being there for the birth, the impression was that he wasn't spending too much time with JET. With divorce as prevalent as its is today, the other woman is bound to hold the kid once in awhile. Get over it...get on to what really is important.

Whats wrong with Bridget holding Tom Brady's son, who he pays the natural mother very well? You act as if it is totally an uncommon event that a girlfriend or new wife holds the child while on a visit to the non-custodial, or even custodial, parent. No wonder ABC doesn't cover the news. It's too busy sticking its nose in someone else's private business!

Posted by: PHVT | Apr 17, 2008 1:55:51 PM

For all we know the relationship was probably going sour anyway and Bridget got pregnant in an effort to keep Tom. The oldest trick in the book and hardly ever works, unless you're Bonnie Blakely and look what happened to her. Welcome to the world of Baby Mama Drama~

How ridiculous it is to speak on someone else's relationship when you don't know what really happened between them. The fact that she pulled the goalie cause she knew she was losing Tom should tell you enough about Moynahan's mind state. If her career goes south she got her little bundle of money, Jet, to support her through the rest of her self absorbed life. Step parents do love step children sometimes. It is feasible people. And anyone who says Moynahan is better looking than Giselle is probably high or jealous. You can't overlook the Brazilian factor people. It plays a role.

My understanding was that Tom brokeup with her before she announced she was pregnant. A lot of women (Millions) would like to have Tom Brady's child. Broke up- got new significant other- Then Bridget realized she was pregnant. too bad so sad!!

Posted by: Tom Florida | Apr 17, 2008 2:09:30 PM

There is something sick about this.

Posted by: Tom | Apr 17, 2008 2:22:03 PM

Brady is a scumbag - and a loser. Giselle will move on to someone better soon.

Posted by: Neo Politicus | Apr 17, 2008 2:26:10 PM

Trashy journalism, mice headline...if Tom was holding the baby would the headline be "Why won't Gisele hold Toms' baby?" Like someone else stated, Jennings is rolling over in his grave.
