Bridget Moynahan has reportedly told Tom Brady - the father of her child - she wants "nothing to do with him".

The New England Patriots' quarterback - who split from the 'I-Robot' star in December after three years together - was present at the birth of their son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, in California on August 22 but reportedly left the hospital in tears.

A witness at the St. John's Health Centre in Santa Monica said: "As he left the hospital with his parents around 9.45pm his eyes welled up.

"I felt so bad for him because he was upset."

Sources close to Bridget, 36, claim she has told Tom she does not want him in her life as she feels he neglected her during her pregnancy.

A source said: "Bridget wants nothing to do with Tom. The mood at the birth was very sombre.

"Their parents gave them time alone to try and work things out, but Bridget is very bitter."

The 30-year-old footballer has been dating Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, 27, since January.

Bridget's representative Christina Papadopoulos released a statement this week saying: "She is thankful for a healthy baby and is excited about being a mother.

"She was very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth and spend a few days with their new child."

Good for your Brigette....Aug 30th, 2007 - 14:56:47

this is just a photo op for him, protect your son, raise him well and surround him with as much love as possible. He was just a donor, he was more taken up with other things to worry about you, stick to your guns don't give in.

obviously mom is very emotional post-partum but to refuse to allow a natural father access to his child is wrong, no matter how you cut it. she may not like him or his behavior during and after the pregnancy, but he IS the father and deserves to build his own relationship with his child. i hope that she realizes that sooner than later, for the sake of lil'jet.

sometimes building relationship ...Aug 30th, 2007 - 15:11:27

for the sake of the child always ends up ruining the child, for example look at overbearing Denise Richardson she can't get off her high horse, who is suffering the children. He is just a photo op away, always on, he does nor deserve to be call a father, its better off not building a relation with the child. Any how it s the mother's choice. Please stop blaming post partum, she made a rational decision you sound very sexist.

Wait just a minute. NO WHERE in the article did it say that Bridget was denying Tom access to the child. What it said was the 'she' wanted nothing to do with him. She doesn't need to have anything to do with him for him to co-parent, if that's what he wants. At this point no one knows how involved he wants to be or doesn't want to be. I suspect he's not going to be around much for the child no matter what. He's already shown himself as liking the trendy jetset life of Gisele better than a more settled lifestyle. Whatever happens, it's really none of our business.

I agree w/ Anne
Tom has made his choice in Jan...when he decided to take his relationship with that model public. I do not feel sorry for him at all. Furthermore, I do not believe he gives a hoot about being a father....he simply cares about his 'image'. Too LATE Tom...cuz your image sucks!!!!

She wants nothing to do with him because he neglected her when she was pregnant? What about dating a supermodel? I wish her the best of luck.

Well, you know it takes two to tango...and she is as responsible for getting pregnant as he is for getting her pregnant. Regardless, he is the baby's daddy and I am sure he will take care of his child. He does not seem to be the type of person to run away from his responsibilities. As far as not paying attention to her during her pregnancy, how do we know that for sure? After all, 'hell hath no fury as a woman scorned.' I still love Tom Brady....

The long and short of it is that they dated for 3 years. We do not know why they broke up and its no one's business why. Everyone is assuming that Tom chose not to be with Bridget during her pregnancy. Maybe, just maybe, Bridget was so mad that they broke up that she did not want him around her during the pregnancy. Lastly, naming the child with her last name instead of his was very childish and juvenile. She can say all she wants about not wanting him in her life but she certainly won't say no to his child support payments.

If I ever had a child, and was un-married, I'm give the child MY last name. Just like most other un-married mothers here in my state. That's not childish, that's just the way it is with single mothers. It's the year 2007 you know, not 1807. Women are free from the dark ages 'rules' set by a more primitive time.

Okay, I'm done venting on the obviously misogynistic poster above. :)

As a grown man I have lost all respect for Tom Brady, it's quite clear what head he is thinking with. I can't believe he and Gisele have anything in common other than sex. That poor child will always have to live with the fact that his super-star father left his mother for a Model. I think he should stay away from the baby and leave Bridget who is a classy far more attractive women than Gisele to do her thing as a mother. He is just a donor and lets face it people we are talking about a man who once dated Tara Reid, he might play amazing football but thats about it.

Bridget get your baby money from Tom and move on, you did the right thing by giving your son your name. Tom doesn't deserve the honor. You will be an amazing mother and let Tom be an idiot and marry Gisele. Trust me I work in the fashion industry, have had a lot of contact with her and he has no idea what he is getting into. You will get the last laugh. Go Bridget!!!!!!!

She's bluffing. No matter how bitter she is about Brady replacing her there is no way she's going to pass up the juicy child support payments she can squeeze out of him and his NFL salary.

I don't know all the circumstances surrounding Tom Brady and Bridgette Moynahan, but there is a child who needs his mother and father. It is possible that Bridgette was so angry that Tom was with a supermodel that she didn't want anything to do with him; but I never saw where she said he can't see the baby or anything.

He is the father and he can go to court and ask for joint custody! I think he'll voluntarily provide for the child--if not, then I'm sure the mother will put in a child-support order.

In the article, it mentions him 'crying' and something about it 'being a tough decision.' It almost sounds like he had to decide if he was going to be around the baby or not. The crying doesn't make sense. Is he being forced? He knows he can go to court--- why cry????

I hope the parents just do what's best for the child.

It offends me that in this day and age, the idea that a single mother should feel obligated to give the baby SHE carried all by herself the name of an unsupportive sperm-donor!

Brady was not only unsupportive, but flaunted his disrespect on TV and magazines throughout her entire pregnancy. I wouldn't have given my child his name either...not even hyphenated. What the hell did he do to deserve the honor? Who did the most during/for that pregnancy? A Brady or a Moynahan? Even Tom's groupies can't possibly think it was 50/50.

That baby indisputably was the product of BOTH of them. How would all you Tom-groupies have responded if Bridget was jet-setting around the world with another man while she was pregnant? The outrage that would ensue! Yet Tom is repeatedly patted on the back for 'trading-up' and moving on with his life without skipping a step or attending an ultrasound. A pregnancy only lasts 9 months....but apparently that is too long to show a little taste, class, or respect for the mother of his child, for Tom Brady.

Not a single report---not even from Tom's camp says that Moynahan refused to let Tom see his baby. SHE said SHE wants nothing to do with him. NOTHING. Not him, not his money, not his attempts at good PR....clearly the M.O. of a woman who was trying to trap a man by getting pregnant on the 'sly' [sarcasm intended]. The tears only came when he asked if he could see her, and she expressed her disgust with him---it had nothing to do with the baby. She, nor her camp said a single negative word about Tom during that whole pregnancy--which must have occurred within 4 weeks of their break-up. It's unlikely that either of them knew.

People on this thread have suggested that they need to put the baby first---I've seen that from her---seen nothing from him but a single chartered flight in 9 months!

I think Brigette is beautiful both inside and out even at 36!!! After just having 2 children myself, I commend her for having to go through pregnancy ALONE. It must have been a hard time for her as she grew bigger and bigger, dealing with all sorts of emotions and watching Tom galivanting around the world with Giselle. Considering they dated for 3 years, I don't think she was trying to 'trap' him. If he was headed for the door prior to her being pregnant, he should NOT have had sex with her. Come on, he is the 'Golden Boy' and probably doesn't have a hard time getting a piece!! Ideally, I think it would be nice if he got back together with Brigette and was able to enjoy the honor of being a father... truly his greatest accomplishment in life-- not winning the Superbowl!

TEAM BRIGETTE!!
