Tom Brady's Marital Fidelity: Fact Or Fiction?

Tom Brady is a former American football quarterback who is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. Over his 23-season career, he played for the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning seven Super Bowl titles.

Brady has been married twice. He was in a relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan from 2004 to 2006, and they had a son together in 2007. In 2009, he married supermodel Gisele Bündchen, with whom he had two children. After 13 years of marriage, the couple divorced in 2022. Bündchen reportedly struggled with Brady's decision to unretire from football and his dedication to his career. Despite their split, the pair remain focused on co-parenting their children.

Since his divorce, Brady has been linked to supermodel Irina Shayk.

Tom Brady's relationship with Gisele Bündchen

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's relationship began in December 2006, shortly after Brady's public breakup with actress Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen, a supermodel, was set up with Brady by a mutual friend, and the two immediately hit it off. They started officially dating in January 2007, but their relationship was tested when Moynahan, Brady's ex, revealed that she was three months pregnant with the quarterback's baby.

Bündchen considered leaving Brady but ultimately decided to stay with him.

In August 2007, Moynahan gave birth to Brady's first child, John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan. Bündsection-break>

Bündchen later revealed that Jack's birth only made her and Brady closer and that she "fell in love" with both Brady and Moynahan's son. Bündchen and Brady walked the red carpet together at the Met Gala the following year and got engaged in January 2009. They married on February 26, 2009, at St. Monica Catholic Church in California and had a second ceremony at Bündchen's Costa Rica home in April.

The couple welcomed their first child together, son Benjamin Rein, in December 2009, and a daughter, Vivian Lake, in December 2012. Over the course of their relationship, Brady won seven Super Bowl titles, and Bündchen's photo graced the cover of more than 1,200 magazines. However, Brady's dedication to his career caused a rift between the couple. Tensions rose when he returned to football after prematurely announcing his retirement. Bündchen was reportedly "done" trying to make things work, and the pair divorced in October 2022, with Brady citing his desire to spend more time with his family as a reason for his second retirement. Despite their split, the former couple remains focused on co-parenting their children.

Tom Brady's relationship with Bridget Moynahan

Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan started dating in 2004. At the time, Moynahan was enjoying a successful acting career, having starred in Coyote Ugly, Sex and the City, and I, Robot. Brady was already bringing home Super Bowl wins for the New England Patriots as their starting quarterback.

The couple attended high-profile red-carpet events together, including the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party and the Met Gala. They also supported each other at movie premieres and championship ring ceremonies. In a rare sit-down interview with 60 Minutes, Brady called Moynahan one of his "very best friends".

However, in December 2006, the couple announced their split after three years of dating. Moynahan's representative told People magazine that they had "amicably ended their three-year relationship several weeks ago". Just two months later, Moynahan revealed that she was pregnant and that Brady was the father.

In August 2007, Moynahan gave birth to a baby boy named John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan. Brady was not in the delivery room but was there on the day and came in afterward. Despite their split, Brady and Moynahan have mastered the art of peaceful co-parenting over the years.

In 2015, Moynahan married businessman Andrew Frankel in a surprise ceremony. She has since refused to speak ill of Brady and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, telling More magazine, "I never made a comment about Gisele or Tom publicly... My son is surrounded by love."
