Bridget Moynahan On Being Single & Pregnant: "It Was F*cked Up"
Bridget Moynahan sounds like she's still got some issues to work out about splitting with New England Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady, who immediately began dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, only to find out Bridge was pregnant with his child.
"I'm not sure anyone – and I could be wrong in this – grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom," the actress tells Harper's Bazaar.
But, just a few months after the end of he 3-year relationship with Tom, that's where she found herself.
"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," she said. "For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family."
Then her son, John, was born last August -- who she gave her last name (burn) -- and realized that her baby was really the light at the end of the tunnel.
"I got so much out of that," she says of that "traumatic time of being heartbroken" and pregnant. "It's golden and it's tough and it was f---ed up. But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world."
You know, on one hand, I think it's great that Bridget isn't sugar-coating her experience and smiling for the cameras, telling everyone "I'm fine, I'm fine." On the other hand, it's pretty obvious she would benefit from a good therapist to help her out with her anger issues.

I don't think she needs a good therapist that is sort of a low comment.
Just because she went through a hard time doesn't mean she won't be able to move on.
I give her props for handling everything the way she did, it must have been extremely hard and I'm sure if it happened to you, you wouldn't be taking it quite as well.
I'm so over this chick and her constant whining and obvious need for attention. I mean, get over it already. It's not like he was cheating on her or she got knocked up and he flew the coop. They broke up and then she found out she was pregnant. Okay, well, stuff happens. I mean, really. It's not like she didn't have a major hand in her current state. It takes two to tango. She's just gone on to show how petty, vindictive, and immature she is by her constant whining to the press and not giving her son his father's last name. Shame on her. She absolutely makes me sick.
Yeah I agree with Buffys comment...not sure what prettyinpink is even talking about..but anyways..
Tracy, pray tell me, what does she need the therapy for? Since the birth of her child, she has handled her single parenthood with class and the whining prettyinpink talked about, i have yet to see. Giving her son her last name is not vindictive and certainly not immature. I would even say good for her considering the fact that Brady is rarely around the kid. She nailed it right when she said nobody grows up wishing to be a single parent. My prayer for her is that Brady shows more interest in being a father to the kid 'cos he didn't ask to be brought into this particular scenerio. Finally, she really is gorgeous.

I remembered to post twice but forgot to write my name. Sorry folks
I typed in a long message and its not here..ugh.
Basically, I agree with her and pride her on keeping it together. I think this is what Tom should have done if he wanted his son to take his last name. (And I guess if he wanted to be more involved) It couldn't have been that long after the break up when they found out THEY were having a baby. The moment he knew he should have dropped everything to show and prove to her that even if they couldn't be together he would do what it takes to have a good relationship being as they would now have to know one another for many years to come! He should have made her as comfortable as possible during this time and I can bet she would have not only given that baby the Brady name, but she would be looking at this as just a really hard and ironic way to have a family..not f*cked up.
I know exactly what she is talking about, I too went through a pregnancy by myself. If you are not married you have every right to give your baby your last name, especially if you are not with the father. And yes it is a f---ed up situation whe you are alone and know that the father is dating someone else & could care less about you or his child, whether you still have feelings for him or not! I hope she finds someone good to help her raise her baby like I did!
prettyinpink, a little harsh aren't you? I'm sure he hit the road after getting a tail waggle from Gisele and left Bridget high and dry and then still didn't do the right thing when she turned out to be pregnant. Shame on Tom Brady for being a bad lover and a bad father. I have yet to hear her whine and might I add that she is gorgeous and will have no trouble finding a step-dad who really fits the bill as "daddy." I wish her good luck.
I agree with everyone but prettyinpink (pip...really?) And having said that I'll say what we have most likely all thought but forgot to write down.
She looks fab on this cover! Yea Bridge!
I guess I've always liked her. Remember when she married Big on Sex and the City? They should of let her pop up in the movie.
why would she need a therapist for anger issuses? She was with the a-hole for 3 years, got pregnant & he didn't want the responsibility so he started dating someone else. I'd be hurt too and if you were normal so would you. I think you need therapy Tracy. And I still wonder why you are the person in charge of this daily blabber. You say teh stupidest things.
She has a TON of issues still. She is not over that guy and I bet she never will be. Tom Brady is a great guy whom she thought she would marry. As her friends and even his own friends said, she was 'desperately' in love with him and soon after they breakup she learns she is preggers and he instead of going back to her to try to work it out, dates Gisele Freakin Bundchen. By the way, I do not blame him at all. He obviously did not love her the way she loved him. Men, for some reason, get over things alot faster than women do in most cases. In any event. She and He seem to be doing the best they can in a very awful situation. However, I do believe her 'desperate' love for him made her force the pregnancy on him. I do think she planned it to try to salvage that relationship. NO way you date for 3 years with baby free sex and then boom all of a sudden you end of pregnant just when things are going South. It was planned and her real devastation comes from not only losing him, but losing him so fast and so hard to Gisele.

I AGREE 110%. SHE broke up with Tom. SHE ended things. SHE did not have the common courtesy to tell him she was pregnant. Tom Brady learned he was going to be a father THROUGH THE PRESS. She can take her whining and shove it up her arse. I feel not one lick of sympathy for that woman.
I think Tom Brady is about as low as you can get. He could have at least had the decency to wait until his baby with Bridget was born before getting some one else pregnant. It is perfectly acceptable for her to give her baby her last name. Old Tom didn't step up to the plate and in the old days a baby born out of wed lock always took thier mother's name. Personaly, I think Bridget is much prettier than Giselle. I really don't understand why Giselle is the world's top model. Heidi Klum has it all over her too.
Bridget says "I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage"
If she's so 'traditional' why were they having sex before marriage? She should just get over it... any man that doesn't propose in 3 years is not likely to be 'The One'.
Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?
Geez- can you imagine being pregnant and alone while the father of your child is out dating the world's biggest Victoria Secret's supermodel. I am a distant relative of Tom Brady and am not proud of his behavior in that regard.I wish Giselle and him all the best in their marriage, but a little tact, discretion and sensitivity would have gone a long way.
