Tom Brady Sends His Exes Sweet Tribute on Mother’s Day, Stirring up Online Buzz

On Mother’s Day, Tom Brady took to Instagram to honor the special women in his life: his mother and his exes Bridget Moynahan and Gisele Bündchen.

With a heartfelt post featuring photos of these influential women, Brady expressed his gratitude. He shared photos of his mother and his children as well as photos of Bündchen and Moynahan with the children he shares with them.

The post was paired with the caption, “Happy Mothers Day to these kind, caring, compassionate, and POWERFUL moms that I’m lucky to have in my life. None of this would be possible without your love ❤️❤️❤️.”

This tribute showcased Brady’s respect and admiration for these women. It also stirred up significant online buzz. The post drew attention from fans across social media.

One fan wrote, “Brady, you’re setting a great example to your children by showing respect to their mother, when you didn’t have to!!” Another follower remarked, “Classy move.” Meanwhile, a third fan praised, “The man is a legit gentleman in all aspects!“

Aside from his tribute, Brady has previously shared insights into his co-parenting philosophy. Reflecting on his responsibilities as a father in an interview, Brady emphasized the importance of instilling strong values in his children.

“I think these kids that come up under your roof, you want to provide them with values, so that when they move forward in their life, they have a real solid base and foundation,” he explained.

Brady and his ex-wife, Bündchen, have been managing their parenting duties with a focus on providing a stable and loving environment for their children, Benjamin and Vivian.

Despite their divorce, the pair have a great relationship while raising their children. “We’re never a finished product. The kids aren’t finished products,” Brady remarked.

“At the end of the day, we’re learning along with them. And all you can do is the best you can do with the opportunities that you have, and the challenges you have, and we all have unique challenges to our life that we deal with,” Brady added.

Both Bündchen and Moynahan, his ex-girlfriend, have publicly shared their experiences and perspectives on co-parenting with Brady. Bündchen expressed that managing co-parenting responsibilities comes with its challenges and rewards. She shared that some days were easier than others and that she was only in control of her actions.

Meanwhle, Moynahan, who shares a son, Jack, with Brady, provided a more reflective insight into their parenting approach. “Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own,” she remarked.

She further emphasized the positive environment their son, Jack, is growing up in, saying, “My son is surrounded by love.”

Brady’s Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram was more than just a gesture of appreciation. It was a public affirmation of the values he upholds as a father and a former athlete. Although he seems to have a good relationship with his exes, we previously reported that Moynahan posted a cryptic Instagram story about loyalty.

Moynahan’s Instagram story raised many eyebrows. The ‘Blue Bloods’ star shared a black-and-white image with a quote hinting at betrayal: “Loyal people take s**t more personal because they never would’ve did that s**t to you.”

Moynahan further captioned, “So true.” This caught the attention of many sharp-eyed netizens, who speculated about who Moynahan was addressing.

One user suggested the message was aimed at her ex-boyfriend, Brady, commenting, “Sounds like the Tom thing still stings or why comment at all. It’s rather telling to me.” Another brought up Brady’s ex-wife,Bündchen, noting, “It’s was a joke! Gisele got demolished.”

However, other online users rallied behind Moynahan. One supportive follower remarked, “Yup!! What she said!! So very true.” Another netizen suggested that karma would catch up with those at fault, writing, “Karma, baby! Karma!”

Others praised Moynahan’s handling of the situation, describing her as “a class act all the way,” while another declared, “Now this is a roast.”

Moynahan’s message came after Brady found himself on the hot seat during comedian Nikki Glaser’s roast of him on Netflix. In the episode, “The Roast of Tom Brady,” Glaser referenced the athlete’s 2006 breakup with Moynahan, after which Moynahan learned she was pregnant.

Glaser quipped to Brady “You really are, I mean, you’re the best to ever play for too long, I mean, you retired, then you came back, and then you retired again, I mean I get it, it’s hard to walk away from something that’s not your pregnant girlfriend. It’s tough!” This joke set the tone for Glaser to dig even deeper.

She humorously claimed that when Brady left his ex-girlfriend, he hadn’t realized she was pregnant and thought she was just gaining weight. Glaser also poked fun at the athlete’s strict diet, saying that if people followed it as rigorously as he did, they could also end up losing their families.

Brady and Moynahan dated in 2004 and ended their relationship two years later. Their breakup took a surprising twist in 2007 when Moynahan announced that she was expecting their first child, John Edward Thomas, also known as “Jack.” In a 2008 interview, Moynahan opened up about the challenges of navigating single motherhood.

At the time of her pregnancy revelation, Moynahan was three months pregnant, but Brady had already started dating Bündchen, whom he later married in 2009.

Moynahan admitted she had never imagined herself in that position. “I’m not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, ‘I want to be a single mom,'” she said.

This new reality made Moynahan especially keen to protect her family’s privacy. She noted, “There’s no reason why my son years down the line would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father.”

Reflecting on her time of heartbreak and pregnancy, Moynahan described it as a challenging, life-changing experience. However, she also found it to be a valuable experience. “But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world,” she affirmed.

Following Glaser’s jabs about Brady and Moynahan’s past romance, Moynahan seemed to be doing well. She was photographed at a book event in New York City, where she donned a white, leaf-printed shirt tucked into her navy blue pants, with glasses and black heels to complete it.

Moynahan appeared cheerful as she attended a discussion for “Blue Bloods” co-star Tom Selleck’s book, “You Never Know: A Memoir,” in the Big Apple. This event marked her first public appearance after the Netflix roast.

Leaving behind her past relationship with Brady, Moynahan has found happiness with her husband, Andrew Frankel. They quickly bonded after a friend introduced them to each other.

Moynahan rarely shares details about their marriage publicly. The couple has been together for nine years and continues to nurture their relationship while balancing careers and family life.

Moynahan and Frankel tied the knot on October 17, 2015, at Wölffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, New York, in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family, including Moynahan’s son.

To announce their union, she posted a photo on Instagram of the happy couple holding hands and smiling, captioned, “Oh, by the way, guess what I just did.”

Since tying the knot, Moynahan has enjoyed her relationship with Frankel. She said of her husband, “I met a really solid, good human being with none of the pretension or all that other litter. He’s a really good person and a good partner.”

Moynahan’s husband has worked in the stock market. He is the Co-President of the institutional brokerage firm Stuart Frankel & Co., and has been with the company since 1993. He earned a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania and started his career at Steinhardt Partners.
