Bridget Moynahan: I Don't Regret Having My Son Alone

And she won't discuss 'media-created' Tom Brady drama

(Newser) – Bridget Moynahan became tabloid fodder in 2007 when she discovered she was pregnant just after splitting from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady—who was by then already dating now-wife Gisele Bundchen—but she says she wouldn’t have it any other way. Son John Edward Thomas is the light of her life and “there's not a second that I regret having a child on my own,” she tells More magazine in a cover interview picked up by the New York Daily News and E!.

Even so, “I don't think any girl grows up dreaming of being a single mom," she says. "It's a challenge. Here is the most valuable part of your life, your child, and you have to learn to let go and hand him over to the person that you couldn't communicate enough with to have a relationship." But she won’t talk much about the years-old drama, because “I have a relationship with these people on a daily basis. … The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life.” Click for more from the interview, including whether or not Brady was in the delivery room.

"...and you have to learn to let go and hand him over to the person that you couldn't communicate enough with to have a relationship." Yeah right. He got tried of her "communication" crap and found someone else he liked sleeping with more than her. And remember he actually married the women he left her for. Obviously, she was doing too communicating and not enough "connecting!"

Wow, this previous guy is an idiot. There's nothing wrong with being a single mom. Good for her for stepping up and being proud of her child. Feminism has nothing to do with men deciding to split and leave their girlfriends/wives to raise their kids on their own. Plus, she is smoking gorgeous!!!
