A complicated past! Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan welcomed their son, John, after their relationship had ended, and the New England Patriots star had already moved on with Gisele Bündchen.
Two months after Brady and Bündchen started dating in December 2006, he learned that the Blue Bloods star was pregnant with his child. Moynahan gave birth to John Edward Thomas Moynahan in August 2007.
“[Tom] was there on that day and came in afterwards,” Moynahan told More magazine in 2011 about her labor. “He certainly wasn’t holding my hand while I pushed.”
While things may have been complicated, Brady previously told Access Hollywood that he and Bündchen “found each other at the right time.”
“I’m blessed to find this life partner that we all kind of seek at different times in our life,” he told the outlet. “We’ve been through a lot of ups and downs together, and in so many ways, that’s kind of built our relationship so strong.”
The football pro and the supermodel tied the knot in February 2009. They share son Benjamin and daughter Vivian. Moynahan, meanwhile, married businessman Andrew Frankel in 2015.
“He’s the nicest guy ever,” the I, Robot actress gushed about her husband during a November 2015 appearance on The Rachael Ray Show. “Genuine, kind and sensitive. He’s the best.”
Scroll through to revisit Brady and Moynahan’s rocky history:
After more than two years of dating, the duo called it quits in late 2006. Shortly after their split, the NFL quarterback started seeing Bündchen. Within a matter of weeks, however, the new couple learned Moynahan was pregnant with Brady’s child.

Moynahan broke her silence surrounding her split from Brady in the July 2008 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, ‘I want to be a single mom,’” she said at the time. “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.”
The Sex and the City alum added that she “started sobbing” when she came home alone from the hospital with her son: “All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It’s frightening.”
When asked about Brady, Moynahan added, “There’s no reason why my son, years down the line, would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father.”

Bündchen made headlines in March 2009 after she told Vanity Fair that she feels like John is “100 percent” her child.
"It was definitely a surprise for both of us. In the beginning you're living this romantic fantasy; you're thinking, ‘This can't be true, it's so good!’ And then, Whoops—wake-up call!” the model told the magazine about Moynahan’s pregnancy. “We were dating two and a half months when he found out, and it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it's not the ideal thing."
"He's a little angel—the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby," Bündchen continued. "I feel blessed to have him in my life. I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day."
Reports surfaced at the time that Moynahan was upset by Bündchen’s comments.

Moynahan continued to play coy about her relationship with Brady and Bündchen in 2011. "I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly," she told More magazine that February. "I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis. I'm raising a child, and it's public. My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love."

The actress celebrated the end of deflategate, an NFL controversy revolving around accusations that Brady ordered the deflating of footballs in the AFC Championship Game in the 2014-2015 NFL playoffs, in September 2015. "Yippee! I can go back to private texts and enjoying the game congrats #TB and @Patriots #letsmoveon," Moynahan tweeted at the time. A source also told Us Weekly at the time that things between Brady and Bündchen were “tense” amid the scandal.

In her 2018 memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, Bündchen recalled the difficult day she discovered Moynahan was pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby. “Two months into our relationship, Tom told me that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant. The very next day, the news was everywhere and I felt my world had been turned upside down,” she wrote. The former Victoria’s Secret angel added that Moynahan’s pregnancy “wasn’t an easy time” for her and referred to John as her “bonus child.”

“It was an interesting time because we found out after that my ex-girlfriend was pregnant with my oldest son. We were forced into this very important thing in our lives at a new part of our relationship,” he told Howard Stern in April 2020. “In a lot of ways, I found out a lot about Gisele through this experience, and she found out a lot about me dealing with a situation that was not a very easy one. … It was hard for my wife and for my son’s mom because she didn’t envision that either.”
