well this might be hating on her, but what has she done? she's famous for what?? i'd rather see pix/gossip on celebrities [real ones]...

celebrities [real ones]…

who is for you real celebriety? can you please explain it a little bit?

Actually, I think Bridget has tons of supporters and admirers in the real world. I haven’t spoken to anyone who isn’t totally sympathetic with her plight. She has handled herself so well under difficult circumstances, and she always has a nice smile for the photogs. I think there are just some Tom and Gisele fans that resent her for making their idols look bad – as if they needed her help – and so they attack poor Bridget.

There’s a lot of meanness and immaturity and pettiness going on here. Bridget is almost six months pregnant, after all, and all this stress and criticism cannot be good for her or the baby. Tom should say something more supportive of her to try to put a stop to it. It surprises and disappoints me that he hasn’t.

The big deal is that Tom Brady is next to a "Saint" and people cannot believe that he would break-up with his girlfriend after finding out they are having a baby. So it's best for his followers,adorers, and worshippers to not be reminded that he is having a child out of wedlock. So Bridget is to blame. She caused all this, they had sex and made a baby.

No one knows what happened but everybody seems to have the inside story of what happened in the relationship (heard from a friend who knows someone in the Pat's camp).

I say Bravo to Bridget or anyone whose chooses to bring a life into this world other than opting for the easier route ABORTION!!!

Which I believe the followers of "Saint Tom" would have wanted her to do. It's not easy to carry a pregnancy with stress.

And who the heck is Tom Brady?? JESUS??
Keep you head up as always and keep on smiling!!

I wonder which post will claim her PR called the paps to take pictures of her?? Wonder whether its the same for every celeb/non celeb sightings?? Hmmmm....

Splash you let us know did her people call U to take her pictures or are u guys stalking her???

Anon #4...I agree with you 100% and love your style of saying it!

well a celebrity would be someone who is famous for a show, movie, music, etc...now i know i'm not current on tv shows--except the ones i read about "read the tv guide you don't need a tv" (quote from grandpa in the lost boys)....but what has she done?? a tv show??? and should reality show contestants be 'celebrities'? i dunno...i have issues with the concept of 'celebrity'...if you didnt notice...now back in the 20's-50's it was easier to tell who was a real celebrity and star...now it's all hodge podge....

Tom really demonstrates to us that he is not “Santo” Both are responsible for that Baby. It seems that Brady this but interested in his crazy life with the crazy person of Gisele

actually the pap just happened to spot her walking while he was driving through Santa Monica

I'm glad she was spotted walking. She looks happy and adorable. I wish her the best. I think she will make a great mom with or without Tom.

Bridget - you look adorable, healthy and happy. You are a beautiful woman and you are going to make a wonderful mother. This baby is so lucky to have you. I hope some day that you find a man who treats you as wonderful as you deserve. Keep your head up. You are a class act.

Do you think it's possible you guys could discuss the broohaha without lumping all us Tom fans together? I happen to believe Bridget may have been up to something getting pregnant, but I do not think Tom is perfect either. His silence makes him look juvenile. He should come out and tell people to leave Bridget alone - she is his baby's mother after all. The main point: it's none of our business what happened. Let's just hope the baby is healthy and they can work out a relationship best for everyone!

Thank you Chris for clarifying that the paparazzi spotted her while he was out driving around. I can't stand it when people say she is after attention because of this baby. She is a beautiful woman who happens to be having a baby. She is behaving just like an expectant mother should. She looks so happy and healthy. I am so glad we got to see these pictures. Eat your heart out Tom. You have no idea what you are missing.

Thank you for clarifying that Bridget was not the one to call for a Pap.

I know who she is and I enjoyed watching her. My husband thinks she's HOT, very natural beauty unlike others who have had to purchase their beauty from a medical professional.

She is looking very good for being almost 6 months pregnant. I am so looking forward to children and if I can carry it as well as she does, I think we'll want more than 2.

I hope that Bridget reads this and knows that there are people who do not hate her and wish only the best for her. She looks so cute. Like you said Lee, she has such a natural beauty and glow. I can't wait to see pictures of her and the baby.

I am so glad to bump into this blog and to see all these pictures of Bridget. Keep posting more of her on Splash! I will add your blog to my Fav. Only yesterday I was saying that I hope to see more pictures of her.

She is so brave to embrace motherhood on her own. Her ex-boyfriend is totally missing out on this. I remember the first time I ever saw tears in my husband's eyes was when our son was borned - he was so overwhelmed with the magical process of birthing and holding a mini him.

I hope and pray that Bridget has a partner to help her through this. I know I couldn't have done it alone.

I do not care for her. She is famous for having someones baby. Big deal. How many times was she in your blog before she was preg? How many people knew her before? i did and I did not like her. I do not totally blame her. Brady should not have trusted her. If Brady has a bad year with the Patriots alot more people will hate her. Is it right?No. But it is true. Why not have a kid with someone who wants to. I am not buying accidents happen. This is a 36 year old women. She wanted to get preg. Stupid on Brady for trusting her.

Anyone having Tom Bradys baby would be famous. Guess what Pam, if you were pregnant with Tom Brady's baby, you would be famous too. And guess what else, if you were pregnant with Tom Bradys baby, your picture would probably be on this blog as well. Who cares if no one heard of her before. No one would have heard of you either. What in the world does her notarity have to do with anything. The fact that you people keep posting that stupid arguement just shows that you are desperate to try and find something negative to post about her. I don't recall anyone ever shouting to the masses "Hey everyone, Bridget Moynahan was this really famous actress before she got pregnant with Tom Brady's baby". Who cares? What does the number of people who know who she is have to do with her being pregnant.

Guess what else Pam. Tom Brady won two superbowls while he was dating Bridget. The fact that you are saying people will hate her even more if Tom has a bad year coming up is about the most childish thing I have ever heard. Who are you to say such things about another human being. Your comment is an embarrasement to Patriot and Brady fans all over. I am sure that Tom would not want a fan like you. Even though he is not currently with Bridget, I am sure that he would not want someone to talk about the mother of his child that way. I believe that these two will work together to provide a loving home for this child and your comments are insulting to both of them. Grow up.

Pam - your comments are childish and as a Tom Brady fan, I take offense to them. I love my quarterback, however I also recognize that he is not innocent in this situation and has made some bad choices. This doesn't mean I don't still cheer for him and my team, it just means that I recognize that he is a human being just like Bridget. He is not a god who can do no wrong. Just because I think he is a great football player also doesn't mean I don't think he can act like a spoiled baby as well. These are 2 people who BOTH made decisions that got them into a difficult situation and they both have to live with the consequences.

I feel that I need to post again how beautiful I think Bridget looks and how wonderful of a mom I think she is going to be. Just so you all know, I have never met this woman nor had I ever heard of her before she was pregnant. I am not a big TV watcher so there are many actors/actresses that I do not know. I am a mother of 4 children and my heart goes out to this woman. She should not have to go through this pregnancy alone. I hope she has a close support group. She is beautiful and has held her head up high during a difficult situation. She has chosen the high road and elected to remove herself far from the contravercy and public displays taking place in New York. This woman does not deserve the immature comments that are being said about her and I for one feel that for every negative post, everyone of us who support her should post something to let her know that we stand behind her.

Anon #20...wonderful post...so close to my own feelings on this and my own reasons for posting.

To me, Bridget personifies grace under pressure, and she seems so loving to her baby bump...I am sure good things will come her way.

First of all, thanks so much for the pics! I hope we get to see her pregnancy developing and the baby when it's born. I had my daughter alone(not by choice)24 yrs ago. It was lonely. But I loved my baby from the start and she is now an honor student in college. Brady is the one who will regret being a part of this miraculous process that is life. He'll never get this back no matter how many children he ends up having. It's sad, really. Bridget...good luck to you and your baby. You look stunning!

Stay healthy and happy Bridget. Living well is the best revenge. What goes around, comes around. I hope your baby takes after you in looks and personality. You'll be a mom any child would be proud of.

So because Bridget looks beautiful she will be a great mom? If she were ugly would she be a bad mom? I do not like her. I do not have to. I do hope the baby is happy and healthy.

I'm sorry, I don't get this whole popularity angle? Whatever.

I remembered BM from Coyote Ugly. When this drama broke I had to ask my hubby who Tom Brady was, so there you have it. I'll tell you something, and I'm totally serious. If I was a guy, I'd pick Bridget over Gisele any day and my better half agrees. BM is stunning...pregnant or no. Tom Brady will definitely regret choosing an airheaded model over watching his child develope. I agree with other bloggers who think TB could defuse this whole situation if he wanted to. Shame on him for choosing NOT to. Good luck Bridget. It might not seem like it but there are more of us in your corner than not.

I met my husband, of 12 yrs now, when he was 24 and I 29. I was so ready for marriage but of course he wasn't. We stayed together for 4 years but not anywhere close to marriage. I gave him the ultimatum and he chose to leave. For a few months it was tough bcuz I was older and thought I may end up being single and childless. But he came back after 10 months. My point, relationships with older woman/younger man do work out. The age is just a number once you pass 30, as long as the foundation is there and that is FRIENDSHIP.

I believe Tom will come to realize his mistake and hopefully not too late. For a man of his status, he does not need the additional publicity that Gisele attracts. He needs to settle down and concentrate on his career. It's difficult for him, after all he has accomplished so much at such a young age and of course he needed to explore. I just pray that he fulfills his exploration soon!

I think Bridget has handled this situation the best anyone can handle. She took herself out of the firing range. Bridget, welcome to California. It's a good place to raise your child. He will have space and traditional neighborhoods where he can meet and play with other kids. New York is for young adults, not a place to raise a family. I hope you come down to my neighborhood here in the OC - we welcome you with open arms.

Pam, honey...give it a rest. Telling an expectant mother that she will make a "great mom" is something most women atomatically say to one another. Geez.

Bridget, hang in there. It on takes 18 years all together!! I admire the way you are staying above the fray. Class act all the way. I am heartened by the well wishes expressed here by Brady's fans. First I've seen. Kudos.

Can't wait to see those gorgeous baby pics. And before you say it Pam, I'll say the baby's gorgeous even if it's not, LOL.

Jean, your post was excellent! I hope BM sees it. I agree that Bridget seems to have removed herself from the East Coast domain that is Brady Country. It had to have been tough seeing her ex sucking face with the model all over NY(even on the way home from church for crying out lod). Plus, it had to be stressful having so many people saying ugly things about her in the press. I guess that's why she told Martha she thought it might be an LA baby. I wish her great luck and happiness. Then I wish her a safe delivery and a healthy, happy baby. Hang in there Bridget, the prize is on its way!

One more thing I forgot to address.

Pam, if Tom Brady has a bad season end of this year, it definitely will not be bcuz of Bridget. It will be the cause of too much of Gisele and her demands for his attention. I read once the reason of her relationship going sour w/Leo was that Gisele was too demanding. If Tom wants a good season, he may have to add viagra to his diet.

She is just adorable and absolutely glowing. She will definitely embrace motherhood even if she has to do it as a single mom. She will have so much love to shower on this child.

Oy! These threads are wearing out my mouse wheel! :D

Right on, Jean! Gisele and Leo went back and forth many times and I also read, way back, it was her jealousy. She's used to getting what she wants, when she wants it. Tom is too, of course. Thing is, till now that meant his football career. Now he's got the baby drama, plus the model thing going, not to mention his first real taste of bad press. And it is out there. Most people don't give a hoot about the model, BUT...they DO care about an innocent baby. If the Pat's have a losing season coming up, it will rest solely on the QB's doorstep. He who takes the glory for the winning, shall also take the criticism for the losing! Bridget, you look so cute. Can't wait to see that little beauty when it arrives. Then you go out and find yourself a real man who will be a good daddy to your little one. Then have one for him.

This was in the Boston Herald this a.m.:

Tom Brady [stats] and his Brazilian bombshell boo Gisele Bundchen are still hot ’n’ heavy, dished diners at the Union Bar & Grille who couldn’t take their eyes off the celebrity couple pitching woo between courses the other night.

“Gisele was seen enjoying one of Union’s must-try cocktails further proving that she isn’t pregnant,” said one of our spies in the South End eatery.

Like that rumor hasn’t been put to rest yet?

“Tom’s been in many times before, but it’s the first time he brought in Gisele,” a regular told the Track.
In fact, it could be G’s first sleepover at Tom’s palatial penthouse on Commonwealth Avenue. How very exciting for her!

Tom and Gisele have spent some time apart of late - so they’ve got to make up for lost lovey-dovey time. The supermodel was on the continent last week attending the funeral of a fashionisto friend in Paris, while No. 12 took in the Red Sox [team stats] home opener and supped on sushi with pigskin rival, Peyton Manning.

Last weekend, G was back in NYC where she was photographed with a galpal walking around the West Village swinging her Yves St. Laurent ostrich tote before heading to Boston. How very chic of her.
Meanwhile, out on the Left Coast, out-of-work “Six Degrees” actress Bridget Moynahan, who is nearly three months away from the finishing line in delivering Brady’s baby, was all smiles when the paparazzi pounced whilst she was out on a pregnancy power walk.

Baby, oh, baby!

I am not a Tom Brady fan, I do not follow football. I am not a Gisele Budchen fan, I do not wear Victorias Secret.

With that said, Bridget is sad to me. She and Tom were in the breakup phase after a THREE YEAR relationship and that it when she happens to get pregnant??? He did not dump her after finding out. He found out after it was over.

She IS looking for NFL child support. I'd be smiling, calling the paps and rubbing my stomach in public like a budda doll too.

She's quite the roll model for her child...she'll be a wonderful mother???

FYI BJ. Bridget makes a hefty salary herself and in no way needs an NFL salary. Secondly, as confirmed here and on other sites, she was photographed while the paps were out driving around looking for people. She in no way called them to come photograph her while she was out taking a walk. Please, if the woman wanted to be photographed, I think she would choose to be when she wasn't dressed in her exercise clothes and no make up. Thirdly, every pregnant woman who has an ounce of love for her unborn child rubs her belly. This is a way of bonding with the child and your comment is insulting to mothers everywhere. Bridget has raised above her cirsumstances and removed herself from the drama going on in New York. She is going to be a wonderful mother and role model for her child because she is obviously in love with her child and has shown strenth and grace in the face of adversity. I admire her courage.

I hope Bridget declines support from the baby's father. It looks like she has accepted the break up and chose to live in a not so glamourous neighborhood. Santa Monica is not Beverly Hills or Malibu. It's better to raise the child as normal as possible, after all, both the parents were raised middle class.

Money doesn't buy happiness. Look at all the celebrities' children, we read about the trouble they have growing up. I wouldn't trade my middle class standard for that.

Bridget should have enough to get her through life comfortably if she chose to. She can get small projects here and there but her main job now is "motherhood". That in itself is a huge responsibility - that is why Tom Brady is not embracing parenthood. He's still too immature and feels he would be cheated out of life, cheated out of glamourous lifestyle with Gisele. Let's just see how their children end up.

I love your post Jean. Ditto.

I love on here how everyone assumes that Brady will be a bad parent and Bridget a great one. Until the child is born he has no rights. He does not have to marry her to be a good dad. If he has to I hope he takes her to court. as the baby gets older her will rather she likes it or not get more alone time with THERE baby. Bridget does not own this child.the baby deserves both parents even if they are not married.

Guess Tom will have to be flying to CA whenever he wants to see his child then.

Actually, I get the sense from Tom's behavior that he would be happy to have nothing to do with the baby. Then he can continue his cavorting with the Brazilian bimbo. He he were to ever (when hell freezes over) get joint custody of the child, it would interfere with his jet set lifestyle with Gisele. Of course the baby will get alone time with Tom as it gets older, but I bet he won't make it too often if Gisele has anything to do with it.

In my opinion, Tom is already a bad father for the way he has treated the mother of his child, and for his abandonment of her during her pregnancy. He can never undo this. It truly disgusts me.

Accidental pregnancies happen all the time (I know from my own experience), yet Tom's behavior to Bridget has UNFAIRLY placed all the blame on her. Shame on him and his immaturity and his ego, and on all the mean-spirited bloggers who obviously have no clue about the idiosyncrasies of long-term loving relationships and make all sorts of uninformed assumptions.

Ditto VJ!!!!!!!

I read on another blog (so of course its probably not true) that Tom wanted Bridget to have an abortion. Does anyone know if thats true?

You already answered your question so why did you bother to ask it? What are the chances that anyone on this blog actually knows if Tom wanted Bridget to have an abortion? I find it funny how people on these blogs actually seem to think they know what occured in Tom & Bridget's relationship. All that matters is that this child is loved by BOTH parents. Whether they are together or not is no one's business.

I love these pictures of Bridget. She looks happy and gorgeous and completely at ease. I hope the delivery goes well and can't wait to see pics of her and the baby.

I have to admit that this is very intriguing. Are any of you wondering the same things I am? Such as - does Tom have any contact with Bridget at all; are his sisters or parents in contact with her; is she asking for any child support; will she try to keep the baby away from Gisele at all costs; will Tom come out to LA to see the baby after it's born; is Tom really in love with Gisele or is it just lust; is Gisele coaching Tom on his behavior on what to do and not do; do Tom's parents like Gisele, or have they even met her; etc. etc. etc. "Enquiring minds want to know!!!" LOL

Here is what I would have done if I was Bridget's father or brother. BEAT THE S*** out of Brady!!!

Anon #46 - you are so funny yet so right. Our demented minds do want to know these things.

James -I commend you and give you a big HIGH FIVE!!!!!!! Love it, love it, love it. I wish one of them would pound the crap out of him.

I find it odd that so many people think that Bridget Moynahan is famous just for being preggers. I've loved her acting for many years!

She was the lead actress in some big name movies - Sum of All Fears (with Ben Affleck), I, Robot (with Will Smith) and Lord of War (with Nic Cage), to name a few. I first saw her a long time ago (late 1990s) when she had a big role in Sex in the City (as Mr. Big's wife). She's been famous for years for her acting, and has always recieved media attention.

Anon #46 and 48...Absolutely with you here! And if anyone ever did this to one of my daughters, I would be sending over my son and husband, and I would be joining them. (Brady is probably pretty strong, but the message sure needs to be sent.)

And if my son ever did this to a woman he had been with for years, he would deserve to be beaten as well - and I am a very peaceful person. And I would be giving the woman my full support and loudly condemning my son.

I'm a little surprised by the apparent acceptance of this behavior by Brady's dad, who made a sort of joke about his son only having troubles "off the field." I know parents are not responsible for all their children's mistakes, but maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree here.

Brady's dad accepting and loving his future grandchild is not the same as condemning Tom's loathsome behavior. Being neutral about one's children's actions when condemnation is called for is bad parenting.

I meant James #47 and Anon #48, although I smiled at your post #46!

I know, it was actually my husband who first told me about her. He was watching Six Degrees back in September and said "Hey, that's Bridget Moynahan from I Robot! She's Hot!" HUH???

I wasn't aware of all this mess until a week ago when a colleague and I were at a Nail Salon and saw a blurb in some gossip magazine. I immediately felt so terrible for her. Really, even if she did try to trap this guy, what's done is done. Yes he should be outraged, but if he rewound his memory a bit and remember the friend in Bridget and the time spent with her, he should get over his anger. If marriage is out of the question, then at least show your support as a friend and an excited father to be.

BTW, my husband thinks Gisele is HOT too, but when I showed him the clips of her in recent blogs, he said I was kidding him. It couldn't be her bcuz the girl in those clips was just average. So Gisele without all the makeup, lighting, but with clothes on is just an average girl.

I am on record for firmly not believing that Bridget was a trapper. In fact I hate every time I read it. I myself got pregnant faithfully using birth control - and I was over 40 - so I know firsthand it can happen. I wonder if all these anti-Bridget bloggers have such first-hand experience or, for that matter, if they have ever been pregnant or had a child.

But I have a thought here. When the person who desperately wants a baby is responsible for birth control, and the person who doesn't want a child uses no birth control...is that completely fair? Can you imagine how it must make you ill every time you take a birth control pill or use spermicide? And if the man is so against a baby, shouldn't he be helping in the birth control by using a condom?

People are only human after all and unintentional mistakes and subconcious acts can happen...made all the more likely when our inner self is yearning for a baby. Tom is so immature and so wrong to be blaming Bridget for this baby - and so are all the anti-Bridget bloggers. For shame, Tom.

Bravo VJ. Your thoughts are wise, logical and appreciated. You should put your post on every blog out there.

Just to make sure Tom Brady knew what I was thinking, I've gone to www.Patriots.com and emailed him about his disgusting behavior.

1. i knew bridget and her work many years before she got pregnant.
2. i am from europe. we completly ignore here american football, so before one year ago i didnt even know who tom brady is. from some while he is bridget's ex boyfriend for me. if you ask me, from my point of view-she is celebrity and he is her exboyfriend who is football player.
3. i dont know what they say in states but in europe everybody knows that there does not exists 100% protection against pregnancy. even if pills give you about 99% it is still not 100%. and two people in relationship should be responsible of it.
4. i keep saying that we dont know what happened there. one fact what we can be sure is that they had a sex!
whatever you'll say he wanted to brake up or not some time around nowember/december they still had a sex. you can not make baby by yourself only, there is needed two of you.
5. all of us have no rights to judge them. whatever they do it is their decisions.
6. we shouldnt say that tom is bad father or will be. maybe he calls her every evening and asks how she is doing. or maybe he saw her last time couple months ago and doesnt care at all.
7. we shouldnt say that bridget uses her pregnancy to become more famous. (for me it looks pretty normal to rub your belly all the time when you are pregnant and i dont see more pictures of her now than before).
8. i could notice that both of them dont comment that situation at all. maybe they have a deal to not talks about they personal situation? or not? still i am saying:we dont know!
9. and again i have no idea about states but in europe pregnant women deserve respectation and protection.
10. all preople who says bad things about bridget-who you are to insults somebody else?
ll. people who says bad things about tom-who you are to insults somebody else?
12. i could keep writing it but mainly i said up what i wanted. i give my all support to bridget and her baby. and i hope tom and she will figure that situation up.

Here's a pic of Tom from yesterday:

http://thetrack.bostonherald.com/moreTrack/view.bg?articleid=195560

From NY Daily News:
New England Patriot god (and Gisele Bundchen boyfriend) Tom Brady is the new face of Stetson cologne, but assistants who worked at his first ad shoot for the company are calling a foul. One on-set spy tells us Brady demanded a huge trailer and refused to put on a cowboy hat. Groused the source: "What's a Stetson ad without the Stetson hat?"

To anon #55. Thanks for doing that. Maybe we should all do that.

To all those who think she looks so stupid showing off her bump. I think it's great. Someday that child is going to see all these pictures of his mother and realize what a lucky child he is. His mother so proud and happy. Meanwhile, pictures of his father proud and happy, but not because of him.

What a wonderful comment Jenny.

Love your post Jenny...it's so true!

Tom is such a baby. I can just see him standing there with his arms crossed over his chest and stomping his foot saying in a winey voice "No - I don't want to get married. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to. I want to go play with Gisele".

What is sad is that as an NFL player, Tom probably doesn't have anyone around him to give him sound and responsible advice. Most of his teammates are probably encouraging him to "play" with Gisele because, after all they say, she is Gisele. His coach left his own wife and kids so he could have more time to devote to the NFL. The man needs someone to come in and knock some sense into him.

How righteous. The picture of Tom in the Herald - it reminded me of the clips of sasquatch as it walked back into the woods, turned his head (arms swinging) to look at the camera. That shot of Tom looks exactly like it.

I don't see how anyone thinks he's hot. If he didn't have Superbowl to his name, he would be just an average guy. Carson Palmer is much better looking - taller and hunkier. But Carson is such a good boy, he married his college sweetheart and so down to earth. It was nice watching him play high school and college football. He is the perfect role model for children and mine loves him.

Let's face it...many of you ladies are really hating. I think Tom has been more than a gentleman by remaining relatively silent on this matter. I mean come...after years of dating she managed not to get pregnant. Her biological clock was ticking and she wanted more out of the relationship - obviously a souvenir for years she committed to the relationship. More than likely the writing was on the wall and a break-up was imminent.

I am not sure how being silent could be gentlemanly of him. It’s his recent public display - actions speak louder than words. Public is not asking him to commit to marriage, but the least he could do is show some respect and support to the woman he shared 3 yrs with. He should not hold her actions during the breakup time against her. Any woman (some men) would have those moments – some even to the extreme of “crimes of passion”. She didn’t do that, she was just hoping he would change his mind. If he was a gentleman as you claim he is, he could have waited prior to starting a new "intense" relationship. That’s not the worst of it, what is chilling is that he was publicly flaunting it. Come on… even animals have more respect for it’s last mate.

Sam - unplanned pregnancies happen all the time...at the beginning, middle and end of relationships. Who are you to assume the worst? And, for that matter, what kind of man is Tom to assume the worst?

Can you imagine what it must be like to find yourself pregnant, and the father of your child (and the man you love) behaves in this way? It is beyond cruel.

See my post #53 for my further thoughts on this. It blows my mind how people assume the worst of Bridget in this matter. It is even harder to fathom how anyone involved with someone for so long could abandon and abuse (yes, ABUSE!) her in this way.

I don't know Bridget, but it breaks my heart.

I emailded Tom on the Patriots website Anon#55 and let him know what I was thinking as well. I think we should all email him and let me know how disappointed we are in his behavior.

Don't even bother sending him those e-mails. As arrogant as he has been lately, you think he's going to read them? It'll be filed in the circular bin b4 it gets to him. If his own family can't even speak about it, you think he's gonna listen to us?

Right now he is under some Brazilian spell and until he pulls his eyes and brain from between his legs, he's blind and retarded. Look at the recent attitude rumoured from his ad-shoot. He's no longer the humble, down to earth man we were familiar with.

He's a shame to mankind. Even the men I know thinks he's being a coward. Sure they all high five him for Gisele, but they think he could have shown an ounce of respect for the girl he coveted for 3 yrs.

I read this post on another blog:

I agree with Fran. Brady bought a new apartment in Sept. so he could be close to Bridget while she filmed her show. Flash ahead to Dec. and Giselle makes a public statement(she could have used text message) about Tom being “not to shabby” and good looking, but that “he has a girlfriend, so he’s gay to me.” Message to Tom from giselle…break up with your steady, I’d like to have sex with you. Pronto, Tom breaks it off with an already pregnant Bridget. NOONE has ever denied that Tom KNEW that B was pregnant before her announcement. He was just p***ed that she did it while he was on a love(gag me) tour with G in Europe. Did he really think noone would notice B’s baby bump? He kept forcing her to wait, but when she saw the pics of his joyous holiday, she smartened up and made it public. He IS NOT a good role model for anyone’s son!

Ladies, take note...

Wealthy, famous, really good-looking athletes will only leave you depressed, alone, and pregnant. (Financially-supported, sure, but, come on...) Time to start reconsidering all the non-famous, broke-ass, unathletic, average looking guys, yeah?

Well, Gisele is the arm trophy, eye candy and the good lay, I doubt Tom Brady is going to MARRY her. They (Tom and Gisele) were flirting, I hear, WHILE they were in other relationships! It's sad how these relationships end so abruptly, guy moves on to another industry type (a supermodel, a YOUNGER supermodel, no less) and the former gf is pregnant. Hopefully, they can end raise the kid together. Ole Gisele always manages to land on her feet, eh?

By no way was I trashing Bridget. I was making an honest observation. I really don't understand why so many of you are pissed off. Would you really want to be in a relationship just because of a baby... I wouldn't. She shouldn't nor should he have to settle. Everyone deserves to be someone who genuinely loves them or at least an opportunity to pursue shear happiness. I wish them the best of luck.

jimcin, I realize you got that info from another blog but it is wrong. Gisele's comments were from December of 2005 (over a year from Tom & Bridget's breakup). Gisele attended a Patriots game as part of a Victoria's Secret promotion and a Boston Herald reporter asked her what she thought of Tom. You got her comments right but it's not like she made a public comment as you stated. She was mearly responding to a reporter's question and it was a year and a half ago at that. This is an example of how people can twist people's comments.

I agee with you Sam. I don't understand why so many people are pissed off either. In every picture we have seen, Bridget is smiling and seems very happy. As comment #56 mentioned, Tom may very well be in contact with her via phone. I keep hearing that Tom should support Bridget. What do you want him to do, rub her feet when she requests? You all seem to be royally pissed off about him hanging around with Gisele. Who knows, may he has fallen in love with her and can't help himself. You state that he is flaunting his new relationship. The reality is that Tom & Gisele are so well known that they can't go anywhere without the paparazzi following them. Life is tought enough people. Why be pissed off about a situation that you don't even know all the facts about.

Sally...Oh, I think I know enough facts to be comfortable with my outrage. Bridget is pregnant. Tom has abandoned her and is with another woman. It's all about what feels good to him, not what is right. He did not even make an attempt to work things out with Bridget.

I have no patience with people such as Tom who are so selfish and have such low morals, or with those bloggers who seem untroubled by such disgusting behavior. If your daughter became pregnant while she was in a very long term relationship, would it be "just fine" with you if her baby's father behaved this way? I suppose it would be hunky dory with you, because of course the man cannot be blamed...he just couldn't "help himself."

I think the pressure is starting to get to Tom - look at his picture in today's paper. Gisele is going to put even more pressure on him when the baby arrives. She will be jealous of both the baby and Bridget. Tom's going to have to jump through hoops to keep the new hot jealous girlfriend, his parents, and guilt over his baby altogether. Can't wait - hope he's miserable.

Lets just say:
Tom was not always faithful to Bridget.

VJ, you sound like a very bitter person. I don't understand your level of hostility towards people you don't even know. Tom publicly stated throughout their relatioship that he wanted to wait until after he was done playing before he had a family while Bridget stated her wish to start a family. It was known that their relationship was going south. I say there is a 99% chance (leaving 1% to accidential) that Bridget tried to trap Tom. I say Bridget has the low morals. Why would Tom want to be with someone like that? Getting back to facts, all we know for sure is that there is a baby on the way. Tom will be a part of this child's life. He shouldn't get back with Bridget if he doesn't love her. That would be the worse thing to do.

Best wishes to Bridget and her baby!!

I know Tom is doing the cover for Details Magazine. I would like to read the interview with him and hope he has some supportive words to the mother of his child.

I think they have both moved on with their lives. I hope they work together raising their child.

I believe, Tom & Bridget had a very private/respectful relationship, and maybe it's tough for them that they are scruitinized and monitored all over the press.

I strongly believe if he had handled this situation better. It would not have been all over the press. Both he and Gisele could have been discreet, or just waited until his child was born.

I know Tom is famous, but when he was with Bridget the paps weren't going after them.
Gisele is the magnet to the paps. She is known all over the world, and so is Tom now! Gisele will not be able to live a private life, until she retires for modelling and, until then, she is there to stay in the public eye. Tom has chosen his path, to be with her, so will see and hear more of him than ever before. I wish them the best.

Bridget, will probably keep her life private, to some degree. She is a good actress and has made a movie every year, since she switched from modelling to acting. I have admiration for her, and for every woman who has found themselves in a situation similar to hers.

We always come out stronger after life's tough journeys. Best wishes!

Excellent comments anon #80. I agree that Tom could have handled it better. Hopefully he does say some positive words in his interview.

I don't think things are all warm and fuzzy between Bridget & Tom and I doubt they ever will be. She had breakfast with Mary Louise Parker - who in a similar situation refused to let Billy Crudup see their child without her present. She also made sure that Claire Danes never got to see the baby. I expect the same from Bridget. Bridget gets $3,000,000 a film. She doesn't need Tom's money and he won't be there to help after the baby is born. She'll be the one getting up every night, she'll have 24 hour care responsibility even while she is recovering. He didn't have to go through morning sickness or erratic hormones, while being devasted over the breakup and having the new girlfriend shoved in your face. He told her to leave he and Gisele alone. I hope she does - especially after the baby is born.

As mentioned in an earlier post I see some already know what was going on in Tom & Bridget's relationship.It is known...... Known to whom, I wonder( A friend of friend, read on a blog, Pat's camp, friend of the family, sister, brother, neighbor???)

I say they shouldn't have slept together, there would be no baby.

SEX =99% Baby + responsibilities of being a parent.
NO SEX= 100% No baby
So everybody keep that in mind. This has been your 101 sex-Ed class.

I always make plans and set goals for the future, where I want to be what I want to have. I have a five year plan.
Guess what! some of those things have been extended to another five years and some had to happen sooner beacuse of the choices I made down the road.
If only life were that easy!!

Hey then again If life were like that (this a have to say lol) they wouldn't be a VISA Card.

So Mr Brady, had it all planned how things were to be. He made a choice, and now it's happenning sooner.
What is it, that is so wrong about being a parent at age 30?? Money certianly is not an issue in this case as it would be, with a regular "Joe". I believe they are other football players that have families and are still playing?

My wish is that,they both be good parents that's what is most important now.

I'm sure that anything Tom will say in an interview with Details Magazine has been written and rehearsed by his handlers, agent and pr. Anything he says about his personal life will be like a written statement.

Sally - Because I believe that people should behave in a responsible, mature, empathetic, kind and moral way, then I must be bitter????? I have a loving husband who is all of these things; I just feel so badly for Bridget that Tom is not.

Don't shoot the messenger here. Some people seem to have trouble acknowledging Tom's failings.

anon #82 So maybe Tom doing the right thing as is claimed by the people who know him, will just be a monthly check?

I certianly hope that this is not the case, as he said, how proud he was of his up bringing and wished the same for his children. I doubt he would be that selfish to his own child.

Let's wait until the child is born and see how involved he is.
Gisele has been sported wearing a ring, so she may become a stepmother after all.

All the best,Bridget keep smiling!!!

Please - she's Natasha!! That's why everyone hates on her!

I don't think you sound bitter at all VJ. I cheer your posts. It is admirable to see someone who stands up for what is decent and right. Sam - your comments about everyone deserving or having the right to pursue sheer happiness is a bunch of pigeon poop. We don't have the right to pursue sheer happiness at all costs. When you make a decision to have sex, you are taking the chance of making a baby. If you choose to have sex anyway, you'd better be prepared to deal with consequences. When Tom chose to have sex, the result of which was a baby, he forfeited his right to do whatever happened to "feel good" to him at the time. He is almost 30 years old, was in a long term relationship where he publically said how much he cared for Bridget and that she was his best friend. He is more than old enough to take responsibility for his actions. Taking responsibility for a child is more involved that a support check and an every other weekend visit. It is about putting aside your own desires and trying to make a home for the baby.

I think so many of us are outraged at this behavior because he is just another example of pro athletes making babies and then leaving the mom's to care for the babies. Sure they send money, but that is about it. We are outraged because these were two people who obviously cared very much for each other and Tom is not even making an attempt to try and work things out. Gisele may be what he wants right now, but he lost the right to have what he wants when he made that baby. He chose to immediately (and we are talking days)get intimately and publically involved with another woman. This is about the biggest insult and slap in the face that you could do to someone.

I am so tired of our society finding it acceptable for people to engage in activities (sex) that often results in a baby and then not being responsible enough to make a family.

I have rarely witnessed such selfish behavior as I have by Tom. He is a wealthy man almost 30 years old who is going to have a baby and there is no excuse for him to not make an effort with Bridget. She obviously was still in love with him and he cared enough about her to have sex with her.

I know there were a lot of comments about how Tom and Gisele are rich and famous, etc. and they are in love and can't help displaying their affections, that's BS.

When Brad and Jen were going thru this, he was such a class act. He took Jen to the islands, very gently break it to her. He laid low, stayed away from Angelina and the press for a few months. People were just speculating but not really seeing them together until much later. That is class act. You want to tell me Brad and Angelina is not richer and more famous than Tom Brady and Gisele? Until this happened I didn't even know who Tom Brady was (I am a hockey fan). As for Gisele, just barely seeing her on magazines.

What Tom has been doing is arrogant and outright evil. Justice day will come upon him someday, rest assured. Songs have been written about these types of situations: "Cats in the Cradle", "What goes around comes around", etc. Could go on and on.

As for Gisele, she is nothing but a sexy lingerie model. As my husband would call it "Great booty call" not wife material. She lacked parental guidance since she was 14 and I do believe the fact of her old agency accusing her of sleeping her way up.

Bridget is lucky to be having a child at her age. Many women I know have trouble and have had to endure hormonal treatments and then to settle for IVF. I think she can do it alone and I hope she doesn't expect support from that evil beast. She will have love and support from her family and all her supporters.

Love will come to her again someday and like a previous comment, she is tougher from her experience and know how to protect herself and her precious child.

Laine and ST - thank you for your comments.

ST - Thank you...and with respect to your comments about Tom and Bridget, I could not have said it any better. You post from the heart, and I agree with you 100%.

Gosh, all these posts. First...#63 was hilarious and spot on! #55 very insightful. And VJ DOES NOT sound bitter.

OK, so most of us posters don't know these people...but we all know people like them in our own lives.

The Details interview is happening now cos of the bad press Tommy Boy is getting. It will be VERY precise and rehearsed, believe me. It'll be interesting nonetheless.

I've noticed that to (most) New Englanders Tom Brady is thought of as God-like. However, this episode is starting to change some people's perception of him. Let's face it, the single guys out there for the most part think he's cool and should bag the supermodel. Family types out there are disillutioned by what they perceive to be a change in their hero.

Myself, I think he has always been this way. He was raised as the youngest child, not to mention only boy, in a family that clearly dotes on him and his every word. He has seen two of his sister's have children out-of-wedlock with no real repercussions. Maureen has since married the father of her daughter. I agree with #63. I keep picturing Tom stamping his feet and holding his breath till he turns blue, etc. He wants the model, damn it! We're talking about a man who (2 days) before this story broke took the stand for Coach Weiss and spoke of how he and Charlie both are alike in that they expect people to be honest and moral in their lives like the two of them. Not an exact quote, but you get the gist. And all through that testimony, he KNEW what was about to happen.

I think the man is a spoiled, phony.

And those of you still hounding the "Bridget is old and got pregnant to trap poor Tommy" story...get over it already. It's a moot point now.

I hope for this child's sake Tom Brady does shock his naysayers and have a wonderful, close relationship with him or her. But I will be shocked. He's gobsmacked by the model and is changing for the worst because of it if the Stetson rumors are true. In a year his family will barely recognize him.

I think Tom's family will actively support Bridget and the baby emotionally. I also think there may be some sort of rift between Tom and his family over his behavior. Just my take on this, mind you. Seems funny there's been nothing in the press about his family meeting G. There are plenty out there of Bridget spending time with them though over the 3 yrs they were together.

Anyway...Bridget you look gorgeous. Can't wait to see the little one. Good luck, hold your head up always!

I, too, have gone to the patriots site to email Tom directly.I read somewhere that his sister acts as his assistant, plus he has others, so he'll probably never see them, but he'll hear about them all right. Also, his agents email is info@yeedubin.com . I've also voiced my opinion there. PLUS, I also go to the sites of his sponsors and speak out. Iswear I've never done this before, but I am absolutely outraged at Tom Brady's behavior. Didn't even know who he was 2 months ago. I HATE how he flaunted that model in his ex GF's face. Make that his PREGNANT ex GF's face. He could have held off for a few months until the baby was born. What? It was imperative that he attend her BIG runway return in Milan or wherever? Yeh, that was certainly one of the greater moments in his life I'm sure! He has shown himself to be just another rich, spoiled sports star. He could stop all the negative press out there against the mother of his child with one measley comment in a Boston paper. Not to mention it also would have made him look better in the process, just in case he balks at doing anything nice for BM. Oh well.

Good luck Bridget. Ask the loser for nothing. Keep that baby as far away from Gisele as possible. And just love that little baby to pieses. You are one class act!!!!

Thanks Cindy. I also emailed his agent. I am sure that the things we say won't change his mind about anything. The changes that he needs to make need to come from his heart and as long as he is more concerned with pursuing his own selfish desires, that won't happen.

Thanks Cindy for the agents address - I'm going to email him also.

Oh my, all these comments and mostly positive. This is nice. I love the comment about sasquatch, I think so too. He sure looks like he's changed. According to the Herald this morning, they think his girlfriend has something to do with it.

You know one reacts when everyone is outraged at you when you're doing something wrong? Instead of stopping, you rebel and continue the offense? This is what Tom Brady is doing. He looks disturbed. People who have seen him lately have said that he's not as friendly as he used to be.

I wonder what Gisele has been feeding him? Some Brazilian tea?

Compare this to Tom Brady:

That's a mere one of thousands of characteristics we love about Peyton and Eli Manning, though. These boys came virtually unnoticed out of the ranks of college football. They, like the rest of underprivileged America, borrowed federal loans to pay for their tuition, worked full-time jobs while taking full class loads, and still managed to partipate in athletics at their respective little-known Division II universities. Most folks had barely, if at all, heard of them by the time they declared themselves eligible for the NFL draft. Those that knew of the Manning boys shared the opinion that their chances of making a team were slim to none. Thus, they had their sights set on playing Canadian football, with the ultimate hope of maybe one day making an NFL Europe roster, or perhaps a practice squad here in the states.

Amazingly, though, they bucked all of the odds, and worked diligently to get onto actual NFL teams of their own accord. Peyton, the elder Manning, was courted by the Indianapolis Colts halfway through the 1998 season when their long snapper snapped his fibula. After a grueling 18 months of perfecting this art form, he worked himself into the permanent position of backup punter. Having excelled at these positions, he tried out for wide receiver and, by virtue of the Colts' starting quarterback contracting a mean case of salmonella, wound up taking snaps under center. He remains the Colts' starting QB today. Eli's stories of adversity are no different. He now boasts the starting QB role for the New York Giants. Their tales do not end there, though.

The Manning brothers have thwarted standards associated with today's NFL quarterbacks. They get, and are content with, next to no exposure from the national media. Nor do they seek it. Furthermore, while quarterbacks like Atlanta's Michael Vick, Green Bay's Brett Favre, and New England's Tom Brady rake in boatloads of American dollars, the Mannings play for pennies, often times giving away the few they have earned. When you couldn't think they could do anymore positive, they both continue to impress their colleagues as both leaders and good teammates. Living their modest lives both on and off the field has become a staple to the brothers. Their workingman's salaries are fairly taxed, just like any other citizen, and both have declined opportunities to model products for endorsement money.

What's more, Peyton and Eli have a third brother, Cooper. Physical ailments prevented him from slaving away to get into the system like his brothers, but he is there in spirit and in thought at each and every Colts and Giants practice, meeting, and game. These sentiments are slivers of hay in the 1000-acre field of reasons why the HoG loves the Manning brothers. They are stupendous examples of hard work, humility, and perseverance in a sporting world that seldom recognizes such qualities. For these reasons, and many more, we salute you, boys. Now go out there and get your teams some well-deserved recognition. Salud.

You can go on this website and vote for which celeb has handled their breakup with the most grace. Even if Bridget doesn't win, it is a true testiment to how dignified and graceful she has been. Obviously the world has noticed or she would not even be on that poll. In your face Tom!!!!!!

http://dearsugar.com/217036

i really dont want to judge them. but bridget&tom story is so much alike with mine. i had a relationship for two years and a boyfriend who was talking about marrige and suddenly he changed his mind. he was a person i trusted more than my mom and i got a kick from him. after braking up i found out i was pregnant (even if i used pills!!!). my boyfriend didnt behave with class that time. i lost baby after a month. even if i have expirience like that i dont want to judge tom brady. as i wrote in my previous post#56 we dont know what exactly happened between them and what does happen now. i am really happy seeing bridget smiling all the time.

To Stephanie #92 - I was also wondering about the Coach Weiss testimony. I wonder if Tom put off Bridget (on making the baby announcement) by using his court appearance as the EXCUSE. Then, next thing you know, he's on this European make-out fest with Gisele, which must have made Bridget feel awful.

In fact, since pregnacy is nine months and one week, Bridget must have been almost FOUR months when she announced it - obviously at the point where she was beginning to show. What was Tom waiting for, if he was so "excited" about his child?

Isn't it this weekend that Tom Brady is supposed to be in LA for a Playboy Mansion Party?

First off, Olivia, so sorry for your loss. And while you are right that none of us really knows what went on when, I can only speak for myself that it's the way he rubbed her face in his Paris holiday with a supermodel that did it for me. It was just so over the top and unneccessary. They could have waited.

This is my take and it sounds like quite a few of us are on the same page. I think Bridget agreed to postpone the announcement until after the Weiss trial. She was with Tom for 3 years. She knew these people, socialized with them with Tom. So she feels for Charlie. So Tom goes on the stand like the big "hero" and lies through his teeth. But OK, then he and Bridget are supposed to be making a joint announcement on the pregnancy. Instead, he heads off on a big romantic trip with the model. I honestly believe that Tom did not expect to make the papers. I really do. Dumb, but there you have it. By all accounts he was pretty pissed as the news was breaking. So his "people" are all like "she did it to make him look like a jerk"--not a tough job. And this gem from his camp "he's just sorry that this is how she's decided to play this thing out". The poor woman was 4 months pregnant. By the time it was revealed she had a very noticeable-not to mention cute-bump. This was how Bridget decided to "play" it? I don't think so. I'm sure she pictured herself happily married by the time she got to the point of motherhood. Do any of us actually EVER start out seeing ourselves dumped and alone? NO!!!!!
From different things I've read I do believe Tom is a serial cheater, so I think in the end Bridget will (hopefully) meet a great guy and raise this child and any others together. Look at the prize Mary Louise ended up with! Bridget, you're gorgeous! If I was an actor in Hollywood right now I'd be hounding you to death for a date!

PS Ladies keep sending out those emails in protest. I am on my way to send one out to the Stetson cologne people. They had Mathew McConnehy(spelled wrong, but you get the drift) as there spokes guy and dumped him for this guy? Tom"love em and leave em pregnant" Brady? Ladies? Are you really going to go out and say to the store clerk "I want some of that cologne for my man!"? Yeh, right? What the hell kind of message are they trying to send anyway? It's the Gisele factor. How sad. And pathetic. Anyway, voice your disapproval to all these places. We are being heard. If one woman scorned is helped, great! Especially a pregnant one. And Peyton Manning...LOVED his SNL debut. I think he is too cute. In a real way, though. Not like TB. Hey maybe he and Bridget could raise little TommyIII together?

I've contacted all the websites mentioned and emailed too. Thanks. I hope all this stress doesn't cause any harm to the baby, you know? Did you gals get a load of the pic of To in the Herald today? Talk about a butt-munch! I hope all this drama plays out in losses on the field next season. Maybe then New Englanders won't be so quick to think he can do no wrong. Not ALL New Englanders(don't filet me). I LOVE the Inside Track ladies with the Herald. They (unlike SNL who cut the Tommmy joke from Peyton's skit) call it like it is.

I am actually shocked that he settled for a local grocery store brand! He must be hard up for money bcuz he knows how demanding and high maintenance his new girl is.

I would have expected Ralph Lauren, YSL, Giorgio, Calvin, etc. But then again, he's only famous on the East Coast and football country.

Jess, I love the Inside Track ladies too. They're calling it like it is!!!

I agree Jean. i was shocked that Tom is hocking such a low-end item(for him). He's getting such bad press over this whole fiasco he probably is being advised to jump on the bandwagon fast. Peyton is going to start getting Tommy's calls, mark my word. The email for stetson is customerservice@stetson.com. Also, if you're so inclined to do so(as I was) you might try service@victoriasecret.com. I hear they're dropping Miss Too High Falutin for her own good anyway. They (along with Leo) made her and now she wants way too much money. Apparently her and Tommy-Boy plan on living the high life. I wish Bridget would give an exclusive to People mag.

Hey Stephanie,

Do you have the website for Stetson. I couldn't find a good web page to send a message. Thanks.

Already done the VS thing a while back. They even responded claiming they take comments very seriously. Actually, it was reading other posts that someone wrote to boycott all the products these two selfish people represent. I told VS I will not buy another item until she's out and I spend lots on VS site!!!

I see it in the post above me. Thanks.

The Stetson site is www.stetson.com. The email is customerservice@stetson.com. I also went to the watch company he hocks for. I actually took a watch back and got a different one when this story broke. I also quit buying V Secret's merchandise on principle. And I LOVE their stuff. Oh well. As long as we all condone this kind of behavior by the rich and famous, they'll just become more and more outragious. I wish Gisele would do her man shopping on the other half of the world. Has anyone else out there heard her "gripping" interviews? Ha Ha! Don't have to give much thought to what Tom sees in her, and it ain't her brain. Bridget...better days ahead. Tom might get G, but you get to have and keep close to you forever a sweet, sweet baby! You are SO getting the better end of the deal!

You guys are a hoot!!! I'll email everyone too!
