'If he were mine…': Gisele Bündchen's bold claim about Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan's son sparked heavy backlash
Gisele Bündchen's early comments about her bond with Tom Brady's son, Jack, sparked public debate (Image via Instagram) When Gisele Bündchen began dating NFL legend Tom Brady, the timing couldn't have been more delicate. Brady's ex, actress Bridget Moynahan , was pregnant with their son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan—affectionately called Jack. Despite the emotional complexities of the situation, Bündchen quickly embraced her role as a stepmom, something she's been candid about over the years. Gisele Bündchen's emotional bond with Jack raised eyebrows despite her good intentions In a revealing interview in 2009 with Vanity Fair, Gisele Bündchen shared how deeply connected she felt to Jack from the start. '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,' she said. '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. ' Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen (Getty Images) While Bündchen's words were rooted in love, they stirred public debate and drew headlines. Some felt her comments may have crossed emotional boundaries, especially in such a sensitive blended family dynamic. As Vogue noted at the time, many were taken aback, viewing her statement as unintentionally overreaching, even if it came from a sincere place. Bridget Moynahan responded years later with maturity and appreciation Years after the media frenzy, Bridget Moynahan addressed the situation in her 2019 book Our Shoes, Our Selves. Rather than harbor resentment, she emphasized the cooperative parenting environment they had cultivated. 'Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,' she wrote. 'I don't think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.' Moynahan's response reflected a profound level of emotional intelligence. Her ability to prioritize her son's well-being over personal feelings helped lay the foundation for a healthy co-parenting relationship—one that eventually evolved into mutual respect and harmony among all parties involved. Also Read: Is Tom Brady's European escape hiding a bigger truth? Gisele Bündchen's motherhood confession raises eyebrows While the journey began under intense public scrutiny, Gisele Bündchen and Bridget Moynahan's story ultimately demonstrates that love, respect, and open communication can build bridges—even in the most unconventional of family dynamics. Today, their blended family stands as proof that sometimes, grace speaks louder than controversy.
