I think he needs to give her a child of her own.

Ok so I am not neccessarily a fan of any of these people, but I'm pretty sure the reason why the baby is being photographed more with Tom & Gisele is because they are more famous! It doesn't mean they are "parading" him around infront of the cameras. Geez.

I thought the baby's name was John?

That is a great point, kaks! There are MANY more paps angling for photos of Gisele and Tom than there are trying to get photos of Bridget.

I think it is sweet that this little boy has people in his life who love and care about him as much as Bridget, Gisele and Tom all seem to do. Of course, they are all in a difficult situation, made all the more stressful by the constant invasion of privacy by the paps and the constant speculation and quoting of anonymous "friends" and "sources" that the press seems so intent on publishing!

oohsexy, Jack is apparently a nickname for John and that is what the baby goes by.

(thanks to Molly for that info on the other story Gisele and Tom thread!)

I can't stand him. He looks like Jeffrey Dahmer.

Whatever this friend has a very very huge mouth.

I think that she is trying to make everyone think that she is such a great step mommy and she that she does just loves little John alot just wait til she has fer own and she forget all about him!!!!!! She looks like a real B****!!

oh look it's the baby stealer! ahha. Gisele needs to cool it with the "OMG that baby is MINE even though I didn't go through 36 hours of labor to have him...he's mine, mine, mine."

Wow Chulagirl, that was a bit harsh. "I can count on two hands, in two years, the number of times Bridget has been photographed with that baby. I can count on two hands the number of times in the past month that Gisele has been photographed with that baby." That's because Bridget is not really that famous. Tom and Gisele are.

I don't think they are "parading" him in front of the paps. I think G&T are followed more than B. So they will be photographed more. What are they going to do? Also, if my son had a stepmom, I hope she would love him like her own. She is the other woman participating in raising him. At least if she loves him like her own, she will be more invested in his well being. For example, she will be watching him when he is pool side rather than filing her nails and talking on a cell phone.

I think it's fairly appatrent that when it comes to levels of fame/paparazzi coverage, Gisele gets *far* more attention on any single given day than Bridget Moynahan has probably received in her whole career--which is the difference right there. Now if Gisele and Tom were having lunch at The Ivy with the kid every week it might be a different story...but otherwise they're pretty low key.

It's Bridget's "friends" who keep issuing these statements to the press that are turning this into something ugly that will probably one day turn around to cause the little boy some needless hurt and confusion. Gisele and Tom are married-->Jack is his son-->Gisele is Jack's stepmother. Her "friends" are only creating the impression that Bridget hasn't quite come to terms with these facts of life yet.

I feel bad for Bridget even though I love Gisele. She had a child with someone who didn't give her a chance to be a family with him. It's heartbreaking for a mother.

I think Gisele seems to be a great mother but her and Tom need to start having babies of their own. It seems as though Gisele is definitely ready but being a model is something she also loves to do. 9 months goes by pretty fast Gisele! lol.

I also hope that Bridget can have more children with someone who actually wants to be with her. I know she gets lonely when her son leaves to be with Tom and Gisele. She deserves to have a happy family too.

Bridget should be happy that her son has a stepmother that LIKES being with her step child. I know plenty people who HATE their step children.

I also don't think Bridget's camp are issuing statements.

That hat from Jack /John is sweet

i think that this feud is being blown out of proportion big time. i think that it's nonsensical at this point. kind of like the drama around jennifer and brad. just let everyone be. Bridget's friend shouldn't be talking...

Tom has not handled this situation well at all. He should've introduced Giselle to Bridget and firmly put Giselle on notice that she should not talk about the baby. Tom is obviously being led by the collar by Giselle here and that is so not attractive.

Thanks for clearing that up, MartiniLush. I was a bit confused lol.

yes B.. can u please stop talking through your friends!!!!!!
arghhh

oohsexy, I was too, until Molly explained it on the other thread!

If Bridget's friend isn't talking for her, and doesn't reflect her opinion of the situation, she needs to issue a statement of her own countering that. She railed about how immature and b*tchy Gisele was for talking about her son that way, but her allowing a "friend" to continue the gossip is, in my opinion, much more juvenile.

This "friend" isn't helping the issue. But then again when I intern with the Patriots I'm not surprise that Bridget has these type of friends. She wasn't exactly one of the friendliest girlfriends and wives.

I'm also kinda of sick and tired of the media twisting the facts what happened between the 3. I interned with the Patriots Marketing Department for 8 months. From June 06 to March of 07... And I got to witness the whole thing unfold. It wasn't pretty. Tom and Bridget were definitely over before he started with Gisele.

I've mentioned it before, but Tom isn't the douchebag that people want to make him out to be. He's actually pretty nice and one of the more friendlier players in the whole Patriot's franchise. The man really didn't know that Bridget was pregnant until right before she announced it. Which in my book wasn't cool.

oh just before someone refutes and say I'm a Patriot's apologist.. trust me I'm not. That team has some real world class a**holes and Belichick is included in that list as well.

Thanks for that "inside scoop", Myst! If he really didn't know she was preggers until right before she announced it .... I have no words for how low that is!

Do you want us to be angry that Bridget's not jealous of that ugly parrot face or do you want us to be angry that she's holding him again, and it appears Tom never does?

It's ridiculous really. Every stepmother does this when she has no children of her own and as soon as that boy turns eight, ransacking her house and getting on her nerves or becomes a teenager and tells her to 'go to hell' because 'she's not his mother'...well then we'll see how attentive and 100% effort she is with that lifestyle of theirs.

Why so negative Pensa... I think to put the term "Every stepmother" is insults to all of the stepmothers in the world.

Gisele is FAR more famous than Bridget. Perhaps that's why she and Tom are photographed FAR more than Bridget. Makes sense to me!

Well maybe its because Gisele and Tom are the big news lately and they are being followed everywhere they go. Bridget isn't the one thats the money maker for paps, so they don't follow her. I don't think they are really parading, I think they are going about their lives as usual, they just get stalked more.

I can't believe Myst is trashing Bridget.

Jack is a very common knickname for John. I think the friend should not be commenting as it just perpetuates the problem if there even is one.

I think it's a complicated situation and none of us really can say what's going on behind closed doors. I wonder if the opinions of this "friend" even match Briget's. I think it's great that Giselle cares so much about the baby but at the same time I can see how it would be hard to watch another woman sort of step into your shoes with your child. Even if you know its what's best for your kid, it still has to be tough.

Leo is better looking than Tom, even when Leo does not shower, shave, or wash his hair.

His name is JOHN

Myst you are spot on with everything I've heard to date--all of which places Bridget Moynahan in a not so pretty light. But I think it's a better story to "sell" to the entertainment media outlets to make her some victim of abandonment and Tom Brady a careless jerk. Not even close to the truth. In fact, I think even more highly of him thaqt he has never spoken out to set the story straight--choosing not to make her look bad (which he could).

Oh and Martini.. that day was pretty interesting. I remember he got the call and people were saying that they were arguing and stuff and then the news spread from the locker room and by the end of the day, pretty much everyone knew about it. Then we saw the announcement of People Mag and it was like woah, because people were already starting to get used to the idea of him and Gisele, who used to sneak to the games through private interest and always had on hats and glasses. He started to "officially" see Bridget right when the playoffs had kicked in. A lot of the teammates, Bellichick, and some of the other coaches had got on his case for getting in high profile relationship during a crucial time that could take the focus off his game.

Needless to say, Bridget isn't exactly loved in Beanie Town and especially by most Patriots fans.

I mean officially see Gisele*

Wow, Myst, that is just....wow! I couldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine being in either Tom's or Bridget's place, but I seriously can't imagine that I would be pregnant and NOT tell the father the moment I knew! Wait to tell him until right before you announce it to the press?? BAD!

you have to admit that when the actually photo's of Gisele and baby show it, it's usually after either one of them has gotten a bit of bad publicity. If this is truly a case of Gisele being more famous than Bridget, why does Gisele make the decision to put it out there. Her an Tom Brady are worth millions, U know the Pap's will be right there if you take the kid to the park...build a park at your home to avoid a bit of this. Also, how come neither Tom or Gisele have made the effort to shield little John, they seem to be just letting the pap's get a clear shot at the kid...perhaps if they were trying to not use the kid as a prop they would let them take more unprintable photo's of the child and maybe the pap's would back off a bit. I think they are just using this kid. The photo's above are a perfect example...they chose a remote location to get married, I hear it's suppose to be difficult to get to their wedding location, but because of bad press in the USA, here are a few photo's of gisele, tom and oh yeah let's add jack to the mix too. All of this suggest that someone's tipping the pap's off for the photo op.

I do think Giselle was out of line with her comments .... it was very disrespectful, intentional or not. As a mom I would be very upset if another women made those comments about my child. On a whole other note, I'll admit I am very protective, but I think I would just about lose it if I saw pictures of my baby near all that water when I was not there! I know his father is there with him, but the lack of control over the situation would drive me crazy!!!! As moms, I think we always kinda feel like noone will watch them or protect them like we will. This may not be the right way to feel, or even correct, but maternal instincts are so strong especially when they are still so young. Tough situation to be in ...

Gisele's photographed more because she's more popular! The paps are always following her and Tom around. Also, has this "friend" completely forgotten about how Bridget put John on the cover of a national magazine? With the title "Life Without Daddy," by the way. When John grows up, he'll be upset about that mag cover, not how much Gisele loves him.
It seems like this friend is just trying to ruin there wedding weekend. Let them be!
On a totally seperate note, Tom is so freakin' hot!!!

Well Martini.. I'm not trashing the woman as someone said. I only got to meet her a couple of times when I was there. I met her once pre-season and then another time a couple of weeks after the season had started. And each time I wasn't left the best impression, but then again almost all of the player's wives and girlfriends were pretty b*tchy to say the least. At least to interns from what I gathered.

Also Bridget said she didn't know she was pregnant either until before she announced it. If that's the truth or not, I don't know. But I do know that Tom really didn't know until right before she announced it. If I remember correctly, Tom and Bridget had ended things around late October and got back together and then ended things again around late November. We started hearing about Gisele a few weeks after because it the locker room gossip. Which I at first didn't believe, because he didn't seem to be her type.

The season had already been over for by then but they still had to report to "work" and that's he was in the building when he got the call and that's how it had spread to all of us.

I was glad that my daughter developed a really good relationship with her step-mom. She even calls her mom, and this doesn't bug me at all. I think it is important for a child to feel like he/she belongs to both families when the parents split up, and I think that if someone is angry and resentful, this alienates the child, and not the other parent or step parent. For one, having a great relationship with your ex and their new spouse means you always have access to a good emergency babysitter.

I see it like this, the media wants this to be a big hoopla. But if you see the action of the PEOPLE INVOLVED in this supposed 'drama,' it doesn't sound like a huge crappy thing going on.
Tom Brady has never had to sue for partial custody from Bridget, Bridget didn't sue for child support, in fact, Bridget didn't withhold the kid away from them due to the article, in fact, here he is taken to Costa Rica Beach, probably to participate in dad's another wedding bash.
And whoever this 'source' is, needs to shut his/her traps. This is just to create a PR stir, for whom, I dunno. Because none of them actually are really commenting right now.

so true Neveah, so true. This "source" is stirring things that doesn't need to be stirred. Was Gisele's comment out of line, maybe, depends on how you look at it. But the way this source is going on. It seems to me that they need to shut their traps at this point. It's not good to raise children in a negatice environment

I think this "situation" has been blown out of proportion.
Like others have said, Tthe only reason Jack/John is being "paraded" is because Tom and Gisele are way more famous, therefore they get their picture taken more often than Bridget...

Does this "friend" not remember that it was Bridget who sold the baby pictures right after he was born? She did a great thing by donating the money to charity, but still, she sold her child's pictures for a profit. She also gave another interview talking about life as a single mom in another magazine (I don't remember which one, but she was standing beside a crib in lingerie in the photos). And echoing everyone else here, of course Tom and Gisele are photographed more than Bridget with the baby ... Tom and Gisele are photographed every time they step outside of their house, with or without the child! Tom is a star quarterback, Gisele is the world's top model, and I don't mean to say this in a rude way, but at the moment it isn't Bridget - star of xx movie or xx TV show, it's Bridget - Tom Brady's "baby mama."

It is the media interest (Popsugar included) to keep creating a frenzy because it sells issues and creates hits on the website.

But that aside, Gisele is a media sl*t who parades the baby. The anonymous friend is correct about Gisele being photographed more with the child.

And no disrespect Myst, but being polite and friendly to the marketing dept and their interns does not preclude one from being a douche. There are probably many people who would say what a nice friendly guy Chris Brown was when they met him, but it doesn't negate his unsavory characteristics.

If there was such a big feud between the 3 of them, am pretty sure that Bridget would not let baby leave the country with Gisele and Tom!!!!!
The "friend-close-to-Bridget" is probably getting their 15mns of fame using this as platform! And the paps are so hungry for these kind of stories that they would jump at any bits and pieces of info be it truth or false. They don't care as long as it sells the gossip and make them money!!!

Maybe that's exactly Bridget's problem--> her fame for being the "baby Momma" is completely overshadowed by the international fame of the now stepmother (now that they've married and made it official).

Harsh perhaps but for someone who went directly to People magazine from the get-go with all of this...maybe not so far off base.
