Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady began their romance while his ex, Bridget Moynahan, was pregnant with their son, John, who goes by Jack. Happily, the supermodel took to the role of stepmom with ease. While the blended family’s love and support seems great, some felt Bündchen overstepped when she told Vanity Fair that she felt like Jack was her own.
“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.” People were taken aback by the statement, as Vogue noted, and the media had a field day.
While the comment might have been a tad much for Moynahan, she looked past it to see the big picture and wrote about this in her book “Our Shoes, Our Selves” in 2019 (via ET). “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,” Moynahan explained. “I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.” That sounds like a great attitude, and Bündchen and Moynahan thankfully get along well now.
