Bridget Moynahan tells on break up with Tom Brady

Bridget Moynahan has opened up about the break up of her three-year relationship with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar.  She says she had a “traumatic time of being heartbroken” and pregnant after the relationship with her baby’s father,  Tom Brady, ended. Bridget announced her pregnancy with Brady’ shortly after the two broke up in late 2006, and gave birth last August s to son John (aka Jack) whom she gave her last name. Brady quickly moved on to date model Gisele Bundchen.  Moynahan, 37, tells the magazine:

“I’m not sure anyone – and I could be wrong in this – grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom. When you’re suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you’re in your 30s, it’s a hard conversation. I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that’s the way I’d be doing this. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.”

Bridget says coming home from the hospital after having her baby may have been the toughest time: 

“I walk in and just started sobbing,” she says of coming home alone with her son. “All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It’s frightening.”

While Bridget shares her situation, she won’t talk about Tom Brady:

“There’s no reason why my son, years down the line, would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father.”

As for her her social life now:
“It’s brought higher-quality people into my life because whoever is going to be [with me] understands straight off the bat it’s a package.”

But in the end, it was all worth it, she says:

“Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me,” says Bridget. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f—-ed up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”
