"Couldn't have asked for a sweeter bonus child" - When Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bundchen embraced retired QB's child with Bridget Moynahan

Tom Brady and his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, share two children together. The former New England Patriots quarterback has another son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan.

Brady and Bundchen started dating in early 2007, shortly after the QB's breakup with Moynahan. Jack was born in 2007 after Brady had reportedly started dating Bundchen.

Bündchen discussed the "challenging" situation she faced early in their relationship in an interview with CBS This Morning‘s Charlie Rose in 2015.

​

"It was a challenging thing because here I am, you know, thinking, I'm dating this guy, we met, and we started dating and everything is great and then this happens. So, then I felt like I didn't know what to do. It was kind of one of those moments of like, 'Do I just run away?"

The 43-year-old said she accepted Jack as her own, while Moynahan also agreed to co-parenting.

​

"I think, now, eight years later [at the time of the interview], I couldn't have asked for a sweeter bonus child."

Brady revealed in an interview with WSJ in 2021 that he was informed about Bündchen by a friend, who motivated him to talk to her.

​

"I ended up calling her and it ended up being the love of my life," Brady recalled.

Brady also said Bundchen didn't pick up his call at first and that he had to leave a voicemail.

Brady and Bundchen were married for 12 years before announcing their split in October 2022.
