Bridget Moynahan dated Tom Brady for three years, but in 2007, she found herself in a complicated situation. Moynahan discovered she was three months pregnant with Brady's child after the two ended their relationship in late 2006.

The actress's situation was very difficult as Brady had already moved on a few weeks after their breakup. The former quarterback was dating supermodel Gisele Bündchen, and the two had already started living together in 2007.

The news of Moynahan's pregnancy broke just as Brady was spotted basking happily with his new girlfriend Bündchen in Paris in February 2007. An onlooker said they saw the couple kissing passionately. A friend of Moynahan bashed Brady and said he should have acted respectfully to a woman he was about to have a child with.

The "John Wick" actress navigated pregnancy successfully and gave birth to her and Brady's child in 2007. The pair's baby was named John "Jack" Edward Thomas. Moynahan revealed that when she got home after giving birth to Jack, she cried uncontrollably as she'd never imagined she would be a mother without a husband.

The actress, who was afraid of being a single mom, embraced motherhood and raised Jack alone as much as her son would spend time with Brady. However, Moynahan admitted that being pregnant, alone, and heartbroken was hard for her. The actress considered the emotional roller-coaster worth it because it gave her an amazing child, whom she called "the best thing in the world."

Moynahan said she loves being a mom to Jack. She noted that motherhood takes her outside herself and helps her focus on what's important. The actress also never held on to hard feelings as she later formed a great co-parenting relationship with Brady and Bündchen.

Bündchen had brought Benjamin along, and at one point, the supermodel and the actress placed an affectionate hand on the young boy's head. The two mothers showcased their positive relationship and care for each other's children.

Brady, Bündchen, and Moynahan were also spotted in 2014 on a family outing with Jack and Benjamin. When the blended family arrived at the park in New York City, they hugged each other and sat on the grass to converse as their sons played nearby.

The trio's great co-parenting skills were evident again in 2014 when Moynahan and Bündchen shared a warm embrace as the actress dropped off Jack to spend time with Brady and his stepmother. As the ladies hugged goodbye, Brady stood by, chatting with Jack.

Bündchen and Moynahan weren't always close. When Brady told the supermodel that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant, she wanted to end their relationship. However, she was later glad she didn't because when Jack was born, and the trio finally had a great co-parenting relationship, Bündchen considered Jack her "bonus child."

The supermodel admitted that the trio was a mess before they finally formed an amicable relationship. The two mothers didn't meet for a year after Jack was born. However, they soon learned that nothing was worth fighting for and that love was all they needed. Bündchen eventually started finding ways to be helpful to Moynahan. Bündchen recalled:

"I put myself in her shoes, and I was like, how can I support her? Because in the end of the day, we are team players in, how are we going to do this so [Jack] can have the best life? We're not playing against each other. We are a team, and that's beautiful."

Bündchen and Moynahan now have a great relationship. The supermodel said when she looks back at how the two co-parented well and bonded, she has no regrets. She added that she loved every bit of it.
