Tom Says He's Excited About the Baby

Tom's camp has finally spoken up about his upcoming baby with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan. His agent, Don Yee, said on Tuesday, "Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy, and want to thank everyone who has shown support, and particularly for their consideration of Tom's privacy." Considering the rumors that Tom left Bridget after finding out she was pregnant, this statement may not have been his first reaction to the baby news, but obviously he has come around. Regardless of what happened with the end of their relationship, it sounds like he's going to do the right thing and be involved in his baby's life. Luckily Gisele doesn't seem fazed by any of this and the two are still lovin' it up in Paris!

    I know I may be a bit biased being a Tom Brady fan, but this story is just irritating me. I am in no way saying he is a victim, because it takes two to make a baby, but the timing of this pregnancy is peculiar. Plus, people from New England know that part of Tom's popularity is his squeaky clean image. That image makes him a lot of money so I would think he would be very careful not to tarnish that. I know this is probably going to get a lot of negative comments but I feel like Bridget was trying to trap him and I absolutely do not believe that he broke up with her because she told him she was pregnant. Even if that was his first inclination, he wouldn't do it because that would damge his rep even more and for him a good rep equals more money.

    Oh and before I get "yelled" at I usually always take the side of the girl- because guys tend to be huge pigs- but something is just not right with this story. I think Bridgett got frantic thinking she was going to have to start all over again and she really wanted a family and baby so.... Plus like I said yesturday how do you go three years and not get pregnant then right before or after ( who knows )you break up you get knocked up come on....

    i'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this but tom brady is a really decent human being. i've met and spent time with both him and his family. he has this image as a football stud but in reality he's down to earth, very kind and actually kind of a geek. i don't think for a minute he would break up with BM because she's pregnant. peachbellini is right, there's something up with the timing of BM's announcement and the story.

    Devout Catholic my ass! A devout Catholic does not have sex outside of the marriage bond! A devout Catholic would have loved her enough to be in a sacred marriage bond with her, and not just use her for the free sex, and then throw her away for a new woman.

    I was in this identical situation with a guy once. He had been living with a girl and they split up. I met him about 6 weeks after he'd moved out, and 2 months alter she told him she was pregnant. It's a really bizarre situation. In the end, he went back to the girl and they have stayed together since.

    Gizele is not fazed because the baby hasn't been born yet ... once the baby is born and require his attention she will be dealing with a whole other issue. she has no idea.

    both tom and bridget are Catholic and hopefully they will both do the right thing at this point. i feel for these babies born into this crazy circus lifestyle (britneys, madonnas, beckhams, etc) what an awful life experience to never know privacy or calm in public Sad

    Bah! It's damage control on his part. He's in Paris with a new hottie & she comes out saying she's pregnant. What is he going to say? "Well, it totally sucks that that b*tch Briget is pregnant with my unwanted kid, but I guess since everyone thinks I'm such a choir boy I'll suck it up and do right by her?" I think not.

    And I'm not naive, but it think that it's a long shot that she 'trapped' him. Think about it. She would have had to know exactly when she was ovulating (ovulation predictor kit, I know) but then she has to have sex with him while she's ovulating. IDK. Seems more like a General Hospital plotline to me.

    I just do not see where Tom has done anything wrong. Lots of couples that break up continue to have sex until one puts an end to it. I highly doubt he broke up with her because she was pregnant. If that is true, then he is a schmuck, but I doubt it. He will do what is right.

    I'm just glad the two of them are being civil, at least in the public eye, for the sake of the baby. They will figure out a way to make it work. Even if he was a jerk or she did something fishy, the two are handling the situation well publicly which is all you can really ask for, none of us really know how the situation went down.

    "doing the right thing" no longer means dumping the new girl and getting hitched with the pregnant ex. Give me a break. Who marries someone anymore just b/c the girl is preggers? I would rather be a single mom with the child's dad who wants to be involved with the kid rather than being in a marriage that isn't want either person wanted.

    PS: and I am a Catholic.

    Trixie - its really not that hard to get preggers if you really want ( medical issues of course put aside ) . Maybe thats why Brady left-she could have kept pressuring him to have a baby and told him she wanted to try and he got sick of it and left. Many of HER friends were quoted a few months ago saying she wanted to get married and have a baby desperatly ( and she herself said the same thing ) So none of us really know what happened . But women have been known to do crazier things. And being a huge fan of General Hospital - they would have never even needed to have sex to have gotten pregnant...LOL!! Eye-wink

    Good for him for having a positive attitude. If everyone puts their egos aside there's no reason why this shouldn't work out fine for all those concerned.

    Tify - I hear ya & I agree with you for the most part. I just find it so irritating that Briget Moynahan is being made to look like the bad guy & he comes out smelling like a rose. Sorry...PMS'ing and irritated today.

    I agree that no-one really knows what the story really is. One of my good friends got his ex pregnant. they broke up, slept together again, she got preggers... I think they are trying to make it work, but I don't really know for sure...
    & they are both Catholic

    Tom's father is an extremely devout Catholic, but as far as I know Tom has always stated that he identifies as Catholic as well. Perhaps, and judging from this turn of events, he only claims this to appease his father.

    Tom is a loser...its just that simple. I don't know what Gisele's problem is...she needs to get away from this guy.

    In the game of love I have come to learn close your ears and open those eyes...pay attention what a person does, not what they say.

    I dont understand why everyone feels there must be more to the story...why can't it just be the way it is...furthermore, what is the point of breaking up with someone just because she got pregnant??? Its STILL YOUR KID!!!! I understand in situations of non famous, everyday people you can get a girl pregnant, leave and disown the baby and probably get away with it...but being that he is Tom Brady, he is just as responsible reguardless. And about the timing, if your pregnant your pregnant, you have to tell eventually, woudl you rather she waiting until the day it was born?!?!

    Peach, to me you seem to be painting two different pictures. In one respect you are saying he is such a good guy, etc, but then you make it seem like all he is worried about is making more money and his reputation, which to me doesnt appear to be a good guy...and I can't say which is which, because I dont know enough about him to really say if he is or isnt a nice person.

    What's most interesting about this story is Bridget's decision to make the pregnancy public news.

    According to one report, she did so because it looked like she was showing. You can Google recent photos of her at the NYC premiere of her movie "Grey Matters" to judge for yourself the extent to which she appears pregnant.

    What I can't understand is unlike most normal folk, both Bridget and Tom have sizeable incomes to support a child despite the unfortunate timing. Granted, if your relationship is at a rocky point, some very adult decisions do need to be made. Bridget is 36 and has expressed a desire for marriage and children. Perhaps she saw this as a last chance to have a baby. Certainly her career is not A list and she is pushing past her prime earning range given the modeling and acting industries (just being real here). I do think that it is her right to choose to have the baby but in making that decision, one then wonders how that plays out between the two of them as a "couple" and the extent that she wants him involved.

    If money and child support are her only motives, then issuing this announcement could significantly jeopardize the Tom Brady brand especially in terms of endorsements (the most substantial revenue generator). Based on the readers comments, some feel that Tom dumped Bridget when he found out she was pregnant and/or many are assuming that Tom was refusing to contribute to either the rearing or support of his own child. Whether he wishes to stay with her is one thing. Is it better for the baby to be raised by an unhappy couple? But from a business aspect and public relations purposes, why would he deny support? That wouldn't be a wise move - aside from what people have said about his character and integrity. Let's not forget that Tom is 29 and is looking at several years of playing and being in the public eye. So if the public announcement is being used as a leverage tool against Tom, then why play that card now?

    I feel something else is going on here and while it's probably none of our business ... I still can't help being curious. Things just aren't adding up here ...

    Sarah100682... I see how my comment seemed to be a little contraditory. I personally belive he is a good guy, but the reason I brought up how his brand is being damaged and that will cost him money was to play devil's advocate. For those of you who think he is just a jerk (and he may very well be although I kinda doubt it)who left his pregnant girlfriend, doing so would not necessarily be in his best interest because like bizzybee said, endorsements make him a lot of money and being seen as a guy who knocks up his girlf and leaves won't keep him on the Wheaties Box.

    Personally, I think Bridget may have been being careless with the birth control as soon as she sensed something was wrong because she thought a baby would keep them together.

    One more observation, and I'm sorry for the long post, but "friends of Bridget" who are probably her paid lackeys were saying how she was so devestated over the break up that she lost a ton of weight (in pics a month or two after the break up she looked skeletal). I have not seen any pics of her where she looks like she is showing so there was no need for her to announce it on her own via the NY Post. Here is a General Hospital theory for you... maybe she isn't even pregnant, she is just insane Smiling

    Or maybe they were on a break and she stopped with birth control and they got back together for a night or had goodbye sex. Of course you never really think this kind of stuff happens by accident. But it does.

    Worst case scenario, she stopped taking birth control to try to get pregnant to try to keep him. Well, look how well that turned out for her...she's going to be a single mom while he's boinking a vicky's secret model in Paris.

    Alternate worst case scenario, he dumped her because she was pregnant. He's going to be isolated from his own child and considered a "lesser man" by his devoutly catholic father.

    It's sort of a crappy situation for both of them and I am sorry I just seriously doubt there's much to it. I think they are humans who made a mistake. It happens. And besides you don't hear much about either of them being sketchy or doing drugs or being part of a crazy scene. I think they seem pretty normal and highly unlikely to pull this kind of crap.

    They are adults, therefore they know what it means to have unprotected sex so i dont buy the "accident" BS.

    Oh no.. it def wasn't an accident... I think Bridgy knew EXACTLY what she was doing!

    But in all seriousness they both share the responsibility of being stupid enough to have unprotected sex, but like I said before...announcing your pregnancy when you weren't even showing via the NY Post, making sure you had in the statement Tom Brady is the father, announcing it when you have a few movies coming out.... just a little weird to me.
