Bridget Moynahan to Gisele Bundchen: Have your own kid?
In Vanity Fair, Gisele Bundchen remarked that she felt her husband Tom Brady's son (with former girlfriend Bridget Moynahan) was "100 percent her child."
"It's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day . . 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."
But file this next bit under We Knew This Was Gonna Happen. Seems Bridget's pals -- perhaps, or perhaps not, echoing Bridget's feelings -- aren't so thrilled with the supermodel's expression of motherly love.
While there's no word from Moynahan's camp, a close pal told Page Six, "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom's virtues, as was evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever."
Moynahan's friend also wondered: "Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrespectful to him and his mother?
"If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion."
Jeepers, was what Gisele said really that bad? Is it an invasion of the kid's privacy?
Also, there is a bit of a language barrier. We don't think she was really calling the little boy "it."
What do you think?

I've never seen such self-centered and insensitive comments as Bundchen made about Moynhan.
Case in point: Bundchen said"Of course I want the boy to have a good relationship with his mother."
Huh? Who does she think she is ? The biological mother speaking?
Her statement was tacky and delusional. Seems to me she still harbors resentment and jealousy to Moynahan for having the baby in the first place, and is now trying to not just obliterate in her mind but take over as the boy's mother.
I give this marriage three years, tops.
Wow! Gisele is VERY immature! Her antics will take a toll on Brady's career! Most blogs support Bridget! Maybe Gisele should stick to her day job. Clearly Gisele is still mean-spirited. I thought she would have grown up in the past 17 months. Remember she sent Bridget the Supermodel onsie! BRAT
Gisele is totally insensitive and out of place. The kid is not hers and if she loved him so much she would respect the child's mother enough not to say such stupid things. Simply saying, "he's a wonderful child and I love him a lot" would have been enough. He has a father and a mother. Perhaps when she has her own children she will understand how out of line she was.
I admire Bridget Monahan for keeping her persoanl life to herself. The now Mrs. Tom Brady is crass and unsophisticated considering her remarks about Bridget and Tom's son. Hear that......Gisele.......Bridget and Tom's son........not your son. It's all biological ....it is called DNA.
1. Remember that Gisele is foreign, the tone of her words needs to be given some leeway, especially in print.
2. Isn't this a complete double standard? Gisele's comments about the child were minimal within the whole scope of the article. And for Moynahan to assert disrespect for speaking of the child in publicly available print is hypocritical. She did an entire article about her single-motherhood in Bizaare last year. See: http://www.harpersbazaar.com/magazine/feature-articles/bridget-moynahan-interview-0708.
3. Wouldn't you want the step-mother of your child to be able to convey that she loves the child, that she treats the child as well as she would treat her own? Like it or not, Brady and Moynahan broke up before the pregnancy was known to either. People break up for a reason. And, as a child of divorce and remarriage, I will personally advocate for the fact that a loving step-parent is invaluable in such a situation.
I completely agree with Lily. Gisele is foreign, she has a tough time with her words, has anyone seen an interview with her on TV? She struggles with it even when it is scripted.
She is saying NICE THINGS about Tom's child, saying she loves him as she would her own. That is a compliment, and should be reassureing to Bridget that her son has a good step mother. Would you rather have her say "I want nothing to do with the little brat - ITS NOT MINE?" Common people. She is being loving and supportive of this messed up situation.
GO READ Bridgets article in Harpers Bazaar. GAG ME. The entire time she talks about how lonely and sad and scared she was "I was heart broken and pregnant, and didn't picture myself without a husband raising a child" Well ya know what, it sounds to me like she she is JEALOUS Tom proposed to Gisele after only a year. He was with her for 3 years and never popped the question - you can't tell me that isn't pissing her off. Bridget is NOT a victim, a baby is not a death sentence. Sounds to me like she was hoping this baby would make Tom want to get back with her. Can anyone say pregnancy trap? All she does is bash Tom and Gisele. Get OVER THEM.
And her comments saying "Tom and Gisele parading around as a couple is disrespectful" is such garbage. They can't help it if PAPARAZZI take pictures of them, they have no privacy - they are BOTH extremely famous people. They are a couple, and shouldn't have to hide it to make Bridge feel better. She chose this path, now deal with it. MOVE ON. Do what is best for your son - Let his father live a happy life.
Why are people bashing Giselle? There is clearly a language barrier. If you listen to her interviews, you will see that she has trouble expressing herself in English. She is saying nice things: that she loves the boy as if he was hers.
I don't think Tom or Giselle are "parading jack around". They are both very very famous - the paparazzi will follow them no matter where they go.
I don't think Gisele meant that she was the mother of Bridget's child. Gisele merely made a point that the transition of accepting her boyfriends son was easy because it could have very well been a deal-breaker for her. What Gisele said was beautiful and sounds like Bridget's got sour grapes. BELIEVE ME.. If Bridget found the right guy she could only hope that he feels the same way Gisele does in a stepchild situation. Ultimately, what matters is that Bridget's son is being loved and well-taken care of by everyone who will be involved in his everyday life. I love Gisele's comments and hope all step-mothers could feel the same way. By the way.. I love how Bridget wants privacy for her son yet made a very public announcement about her pregnancy during Tom and Gisele's vacation as a new couple. People in glass houses.....
If Gisele has trouble with her English, then she should keep her mouth shut. Now go have a baby yourself and let's see how well you fare after giving birth and let's see where your modelling career goes after that!
I think Bridget should just make a statement that she is grateful that her son's stepmother fully embraces her son equally as her own. It's just a language/culture misinterpretation - the fact that Gisele embraces this child as her own is a good thing for all parties involved. To make it about anything else is what is messed up. Kudos to Gisele for being so loving and kudos to Bridget for knowing not to say anything and let it go.
