There’s a lot people don’t know about Tom Brady’s ex, Bridget Moynahan.
“I feel like I look really good at 50.
“I’m feeling really great.
I think I look really great.
It’s just a number.”
According to Moynahan, she was something of a tomboy who couldn’t get enough of sports.
“I played soccer, basketball, and lacrosse,” she toldImagista.
“Sports were a priority for me.”
These days, she gets her exercise in other ways than participating in team sports.
“My parents really didn’t want me to become a model.
As one might expect, that was a daunting prospect for someone her age.
“I was terrified,” she remembered in her 2002 interview with People.
“I cried all the way.”
“And I couldn’t stop it, it was like a bad eye twitch but in my mouth.
It was so awkward.”
However, at a certain point, she began feeling unfulfilled.
She decided to study acting, taking lessons at night while modeling during the day.
Then she began landing parts in TV commercials.
“I did a lot of commercials and really appreciated the concept of residuals.”
She also continued to study under acting coach Caymichael Patten.
She got the part, with her character eventually becoming a key recurring player in the show.
“Oh, it was a great gig!”
Moynahan said of her “Sex and the City” role while speaking with Parade.
“I’m so thrilled they brought the character back,” she exclaimed to Glamour.
‘“Coyote Ugly’ really felt enormous,” Moynahan recalled for Imagista.
“It was a Jerry Bruckheimer project and they had put a lot of money into the movie.
So it was a lot bigger than I’d ever imagined.”
“It was like, Oh my god!”
she said, remembering that moment.
That felt really good.”
“I wasn’t as experienced, so I just assumed those people knew more than me.”
That, she admitted, was brand-new territory for her.
“It’s a different schedule and a different lifestyle, so we’ll see,” she added.
“The two hugged and smooched and whispered sweet nothings,” reportedSI.
Sadly, it was not to last.
In December 2006 they announced their separation after three years together.
Two months later, Moynahan announced she was pregnant with Brady’s child.
Meanwhile, Brady had already been publicly dating Brazilian supermodel (and his future ex-wife) Gisele Bundchen.
In August 2007, Moynahan gave birth to their son, Jack.
Comedian Nikki Glaser drew blood when she joked about Brady’s return to the NFL after retiring.
The show’s premise centered around family and was one that resonated with her on a very deep level.
“It was about an Irish-Catholic family and hi, those are my people,” she told Parade.
The first time she met her co-stars was around the Reagan family dinner table.
“Even the crew has been with us since day one.”
These included such dishes as crown roast of lamb, roasted potatoes, and apple pie.
“He’s pretty easy and basic.
So honestly, if I boil water for him, he’d be like, ‘This is amazing!’
He really is the sweetest,” she said, as reported byPeople.
“He’s the nicest guy ever.
Genuine, kind, and sensitive.
He’s the best.
He’ll eat basically anything and tell me it’s great.”
She also opened up about her husband in a 2021 interview with Glamour.
He’s a really good person and a good partner.
She’s also looking to do more directing, having directed three episodes of “Blue Bloods.”
“That’s interesting and challenging to me.”
