Inside Bridget Moynahan & Son’s 3-Bedroom Flat Bought Years after ‘Traumatic Time’ with His Dad Tom Brady

• The "Blue Bloods" actress Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady dated for three years before their breakup that shocked the public.
• A few months after their split, Moynahan announced that she was pregnant and Brady was the father.
• Moynahan was wary about having a child outside marriage, but she soon embraced and loved single motherhood.

Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady dated for three years before calling it quits. The duo was first linked in early 2004, and in 2006, they broke up, after which Moynahan learned she was carrying Brady's child.

The couple started dating when their careers were shining. The actress was starring in "Sex and the City" while Brady had just won his second Super Bowl as Quarterback playing for New England Patriots. The couple supported each other's careers, with both appearing at movie premieres and attending championship rings.

The "Blue Bloods" actress and Brady were spotted in high-profile red-carpet events such as the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party and the Met Gala on May 1, 2006. In June 2005, Brady gave a rare interview with "60 Minutes" where he said Moynahan had helped him settle down.

He added that with the actress, he can be himself because she is someone he considers his very best friend. However, when asked if he saw himself in marriage with Moynahan, Brady didn't respond and told the interviewer he couldn't ask that.

Fans who saw how in love the pair was during public events were surprised when in December 2006, Moynahan and Brady announced their separation. The actress said they amicably chose to part ways and wouldn't make any further comments about their decision.

A few weeks after their breakup, Brady shocked fans when he started dating supermodel Gisele Bündchen, and in April 2007, they moved in together. Moynahan also had surprising news that changed her and Brady's life forever.

What Was Moynahan's News after Her Breakup from Brady?

Just two months after Brady confirmed their split, Moynahan's representative announced that the actress was three months pregnant with Brady's child. At this time, Brady had already moved on with Bündchen.

The former quarterback received lots of negative press after this announcement was made. His fans felt he was being inconsiderate and disrespectful for moving on so quickly when he was about to have a child with his former girlfriend.

Brady accepted that he was the father to Moynahan's baby. His agent said the athlete's family was excited about the pregnancy. The actress's friends also said she was in a good place and excited about the baby. They added that Moynahan would be a great mother.

After she welcomed her child in 2007, a son named Jack, the actress revealed how she felt after her breakup with Brady. Moynahan said she went through a "traumatic time" of being heartbroken and then finding out she was pregnant.

Moynahan focused on motherhood, while Brady, Jack's father, went on to marry Bündchen in 2009. Brady and Bündchen have two kids, Benjamin and Vivian.

The period turned her life upside down, but it was a golden time as well as a tough one. She affirmed short of a year after Jack's birth, "Now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world."

After learning she was pregnant, the actress first weighed the pros and cons of having a child, and eventually, she felt like she could do it 100 percent. However, she went through another difficult moment as she had to inform her parents.

Moynahan knew the conversation would be a hard one because she had no one standing by her side. Furthermore, as a traditional girl, the actress confessed that she always thought she would get pregnant while married:

"For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family. I've had to recognize that there are just so many different options today."

After she welcomed Jack, Moynahan embraced being a single mother. Brady spent time with their child sometimes, but she mostly raised him alone. The actress made her son her priority and would go swimming with him and take him to music classes.

Moynahan also started dating again, but she wasn't seeing anyone seriously at all. She confessed that, eventually, she hoped to settle down with a strong male figure who would be present in her son's life, have more kids, and enjoy life with a partner, lover, and friend.

How Did Moynahan Raise Her Son?

In 2019, the actress said she loved being a mom because it takes her outside of being herself. As a mother, Moynahan can set aside her other titles, such as being a model and an actress. She revealed that with her mom hat on, she can focus on what's important.

Enjoying motherhood came as a relief to Moynahan, who had spent part of her pregnancy worried. She said being pregnant should have been a joyous moment, but she felt assaulted due to the paparazzi who were following and stalking her at an emotionally vulnerable time in her life.

As much as it wasn't an easy time when she eventually held Jack in her arms, she felt her heart expand in ways she didn't know was possible. Moynahan focused on motherhood, while Brady, Jack's father, went on to marry Bündchen in 2009. Brady and Bündchen have two kids, Benjamin and Vivian.

In 2014, Moynahan purchased a $4.63 million apartment in Tribeca. The 2.793 square feet loft-style pad had three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. The actress bought the property when her son was six years old. The apartment came with wide-plank walnut flooring, classic columns, and open views from double-glazed arched windows.

Through the years, Moynahan has shared images of her home life, including her table settings and the meals she prepares, as well as the time she spends alone.

At 52, Moynahan, who tied the knot with Andrew Frankel in 2015, is still a mother to one. The actress confessed that after she became a mom, she chose to live a private life and now only shares little with a selected few.
