Bridget Moynahan: I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly

Please, don’t everyone start yelling at me all at once. Something about the Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen- Bridget Moynahan situation makes people start yelling (at me) immediately. I’ll have to admit, though, I love these Budget Bermuda Triangle stories. I usually find Bridget to be hilariously bitchy, I think Gisele is a sanctimonious a-hole, and I find Tom Brady to be pretty clueless and bland, and unworthy of all of the drama. Anyway, Bridget has a cover interview with More Magazine to promote her new television gig, Blue Bloods. Of course, she gets questions about her son Jack and Jack’s father Tom. Personally, I find Bridget’s comments very pointed, like she was specifically referencing certain things (Tom not being in the delivery room) while making a conscious effort to not mention other stuff. But that’s just me – I will literally read anything into anything. I live to overanalyze:

They’ve had rocky patches, but Bridget Moynahan says she and Tom Brady – along with his wife Gisele Bündchen – have managed to create a stable family for their son, 3 ½-year-old John Edward.

“I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly,” Moynahan, who graces the March cover of More, tells the magazine. “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis.”

And, she adds, that the blended family is going well. “My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.”

Still, Moynahan, who turns 40 in April, admits being a single mom has been tough, starting with the birth itself in 2007.

“[Tom] was not in the [delivery] room,” says Moynahan, who had already split from Brady when she discovered she was pregnant. “He was there on that day and came in afterwards. He certainly wasn’t holding my hand while I pushed.”

Relying on her parents and friends for support, she recalls “hyperventilating” with anxiety after giving birth: “Every time my dad mentioned he had to go [home to Massachusetts], I’d start crying.”

Even though she doesn’t believe “any girl grows up dreaming of being a single mom,” she also stresses, “There’s not a second I regret having a child on my own.”

A New Love
Apart from her son, another positive force in her life is her new boyfriend, Charlie’s Angels director Joseph “McG” McGinty Nichol.

Revealing they met on an airplane, Moynahan – who currently plays an almost-divorced prosecutor on the CBS series Blue Bloods alongside Tom Selleck – says McG is not only good for her, but for her son, as well.

“He’s witty, he’s smart, he’s incredibly funny, he’s got incredible taste, and he comes from a great family,” Moynahan gushes. “He’s the salt of the earth but also very successful in the crazy business that we’re in.”

And, she adds, “He and Jack have a great relationship.”

Bridget says: “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis… My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it’s cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.” Well… I’ll give it to Bridget, that was pretty classy. I mean, “stepmother” came after “cousin,” but still. Considering Gisele constantly refers to Jack as hers, I think this is the best we can hope for out of Bridget. But yeah… Gisele bugs the hell out of me. I can’t imagine having to deal with her all of the time, and watching her try to out-mother every single woman on the planet.

Also – while Bridget rarely makes specific comments about Gisele, like “Gisele is a sanctimonious a–hole, signed B-Moyn,” Bridget has made some other pointed comments about “irresponsible mothers” who promote motherhood as easy. Bridge even has some loyal, talkative “friends” who do her dirty work in the press, if need be. But sure… she never talks about Gisele or Tom. Of course. “PUBLICLY”
