Gisele Bundchen: Tom Brady’s Son Is “100 Percent” Mine
Call me crazy, but this would rub me the wrong way if I were Bridget Moynahan (his biological mother)!
Gisele Bundchen has never met Bridget Moynahan, the mother of her husband Tom Brady‘s son, she tells the May issue of Vanity Fair.
“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,” she says of John Edward Thomas Moynahan, who was born in 2007. “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.”
Bundchen – who wed Brady in February, as Usmagazine.com exclusively reported — says it was “definitely a surprise” when she learned that Moynahan was pregnant shortly after she began dating the New England Patriot quarterback.
“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!’” she says.
But standing by Brady as they figured things out “was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of.”
“I was like, You have the heart in a good place!” she says. “It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.”
Brady, she says,”is very close to his family. He’s Catholic. His parents have been married 40 years. He’s got a pure heart. That’s all that matters – he’s got the purest heart.” (More pictures after the jump!)
Adds Bundchen (who plans to celebrate their marriage with family and friends in Costa Rica this Friday): “I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man.”
As for her ex, Leonardo DiCaprio, she says, “Leo is a really wonderful person. We still speak sometimes, and I’m friends with his mom. He still has one of my dogs.”
“We were very young, and we grew together in a lot of ways,” she adds. “We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously, and I wish him nothing but the best.”
