Update: Tom Brady at hospital with flowers
Update: Tom Brady has been spotted arriving at a Los Angeles hospital with flowers…no news yet!
Update 3 pm: Tom was not at practice today(although he missed practice last week as well), sparking rumors thatBridget could be in labor. Bridget’s rep says that she hasn’t heardanything and has no news to report.
Additional quotations added.
Originally posted August 20th: Patriots quarterback Tom Brady,30, made an appearance on WEEI’s radio program this morning to talkfootball — but of course, his impending arrival with actress Bridget Moynahan,36, was a topic of discussion as well. (Yes, she’s still pregnant –she was spotted on Sunday out and about.) As we previously reported,Tom is planning to fly out to Los Angeles to be there for his child’sarrival.
I’m certainly going to get there, and try to be there for the birth; it will be a great experience.
I’m certainly not the only player that has a family or is going to be afather. There’s a lot guys who bring their kids out there every day.That’s very demanding being a parent and being an athlete as wellbecause you have commitments to your team and certainly a lot of peoplemake sacrifices for their family. A lot of people do. I’m dealing witha certain situation, a very joyous, happy situation.
Tomalso mentioned he’ll be taking a few days off after the baby makes itsdebut, if Coach Belichick allows it — and he probably will. Likeeveryone else, the Brady family is anxiously awaiting the arrival. Whenpressed about the baby’s due date and when Tom’s expecting ‘the call’that it’s time to fly out, he said,
Oh, no. I wish I did [know when the baby is coming]. That’s God’s decision. That’s theGood Lord that’s making that call. I think everybody’s anxious. I’llput it that way. [smiles]
I know [about the false rumored due date of July 20th]. I realizethat. I’d just like to keep that stuff…that’s very private to me.I’ve talked to my family and soforth. Like I said, you all know it won’t be hard to figure out when ithappens. If I always responded to…every time somebody saidsomething, I’d be talking all the time.
I’m an uncle and I know what it’s like to be an uncle. My niece hasbeen up here the last few weeks. My family is extremely close to me,with three older sisters and loving parents and supportive parents, Ithink everybody is anxious.

Is he bringing Giselle to witness the birth?
August 20th, 2007 at 10:48 am
If that baby takes any longer to get here, it’s going to be pretty obvious it’s not Tom’s.
August 20th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Great. I knew he would be there. I couldn’t imagine, with his family being as close as they are, that he wouldn’t.
All this to-do about nothing from strangers who think they know exactly what “happened” between them. They don’t, nobody does. What we “see” from tabs, the paps and read in the press does NOT tell the whole story.
Good to hear they’re being adults about the whole thing.

I have always felt compelled to say something regarding Tom Brady, but never actually followed through with it. I’ll come in and read blogs, totally forgetting to comment! Anyway, I haven’t felt that Tom was out of the spotlight of this whole baby thing. Yes, he may be going out with some hot Brazilian model but that does not mean that Bridget will be sitting there in front of the television with their child saying “there’s your daddy” while receiving child support in the mail! I’m due in November and really, throughout my pregnancy, I’ve learned a lot about men and their mindset. The father of my child and I aren’t together and weren’t together when I told him. He did his own this and I’ve been well… have been being pregnant! It’s was really all nerves working with him finding out he’d be a father and now. I’d receive the ‘how are you doing’ phone call, but really, he was distant throughout my second tri. one day, he opened up a little about the whole thing saying that he’s happy to be a father, but didn’t want to make me believe we were going to start a relationship solely based on having baby! now, in the third tri, he’s so excited about childbirth classes and has been there for all the ultrasound appointments; I really didn’t need him through all the testings to be honest! We’re hanging out all the time, he’s been a great support. Amazing how things can turn around when you give someone breathing room to fathom the situation. Men and women are on completely different ends when it comes to pregnancy. When you’re pregnant and not together, you never want to lead another person on – especially a hormonal female – and that’s what I’ve learned from him in this situation. While there are many dead beat dads in this world, there will still always be the few that will fulfill their duty to be a man and show a lining of chivalry.
August 20th, 2007 at 11:38 am
I don’t think people believe that they know exactly what happened between Tom and Bridget, anymore than they know what type of family he has or what his plans are for the birth. It’s all just speculation until something is said.
August 20th, 2007 at 11:39 am
I sure hope he does step up with this, and does not bring Gisele around. What the baby needs is love and tranquility. Tom needs to be a man and be there, and not just hey, write a check. Bridget will be an EXCELLENT Mother! She just seems like the type that will never let this baby be in doubt of anything.
August 20th, 2007 at 11:50 am
I believe that Bridget Moynahan has surpassed Kate Hudson’s record for “longest pregnancy ever”!! LOL!
August 20th, 2007 at 12:26 pm
I’m certainly not willing to give Brady a pass simply because he is “going to try and be there”. I think he should have been more supportive of Bridget and conscious of her feelings during the pregnancy.
August 20th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
If Tom is dating Gisele and going to be part of this baby’s life, then isn’t it better that she part of it from the start? No reason she should be blamed for any of this. Tom and Bridget seem to be handling this like mature adults, so the baby will only know what it grows up with and having 3 supportive parents (be they step parents or not) is just as beneficial as having two – if not more so! I have been blessed with 4 wonderful parents and hate being labeled a child of divorce. If my parents hadn’t divorced, i’d be out two wonderful parents and living with two miserable ones! Good luck to all of them, especially Baby Brady (and poor Bridget who does seem to have been pregnant an awfully long time!
August 20th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I swear that kid is gonna be like 3 or 4 years old when it finally decides to come out.
August 20th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
*golf claps*
August 20th, 2007 at 2:11 pm
I really think Tom Brady has gotten a bad rap in this situation. It’s amazing how judgemental people can be when we don’t know the facts or circumstances regarding the breakup. We don’t know how involved Tom has been in Bridget’s pregnancy. They were broken up when they found out that Bridget was pregnant. Part of breaking up is moving and he did with Gisele. Anyway, whatever the case may be, I applaud him for not doing an “Eddie Murphy” and at least appearing to be responsible. Everything is going to work out for all parties involved.
August 20th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
Hmm..the fact that Bridget is still pregnant makes me think that Mr. Brady should get a paternity test done after this kid is born. The longer she is pregnant, the less it adds up that this kid is his, since they seemed to have “broken up” around the same time she got pregnant. Just my opinion.
August 20th, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Paula,and how do you know what has been transpiring between Tom and Bridget? Answer = you don’t!
Tom seems to be happy as does Bridget. Facts are in and since this baby has not come yet, it is obvious they broke up without knowing of the pregnancy. The breakup was released to US in early December saying they broke up a few weeks ago, that makes the breakup mid November. Tom Brady has been a class act from day one and I am sure he will be a great Dad. Why marry a girl you don’t love. I think he did the right thing, I really do. I am sure he will be the best Dad he can be with her moving all the way to LA.
August 20th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Good for him to try to be there but I have my doubts.I think the reason people don’t want Giselle around is because it would probably make Bridget uncomfortable and feel awkward for her to be in the delivery room with them.
August 20th, 2007 at 5:16 pm
good for tom, he sounds excited. I’m guessing by this week bridget will give birth, I really don’t think she will go into sept and still pregnant lol.
Sarah’s note: Should be, she’ll be 2 weeks late on Friday from the due date her rep gave us.
August 20th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
How long is safe for baby and mom.
It was reported her due date was Aug 10.
Wouldn’t her Dr. be recommending inducement at this point?
Sarah’s note: Maybe, but we’ve heard Bridget would prefer to go natural. Anywhere from 38-42 weeks is considered a normal pregnancy. Going over 42 is usually discouraged because of risk of stillbirth, low amniotic fluid, or an aging placenta.
August 20th, 2007 at 5:35 pm
My only problem with the quotes he gave to the globe, is that he made them at all. I have so respected how this couple has kept their private matters out of the public arena. I hope they continue with that approach. Just my opinion. And best wishes to both of them for the pending arrival of their baby.
August 20th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
I think its great when a no longer together couple is adult and wprks tgether for the sake of the child…although just in trying to imagine the situation (and as someone who invites nobody but my husband to the delivery room) not in any attempt to exclude the father — but I don’t know that I’d WANT an ex in the delivery room. (in the hospital, sure, to visit shortly after birth) It is so intimate and personal — I can’t imagine being able to do it.
August 20th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
I had a baby last month…was 5 weeks early. My due date was supposed to be August 12 and since we’ve been trying to have a baby, I used one of those ovulation kits back in November. I know for a fact that my baby was either conceived on November 22 or November 23. So if Bridget’s due date was closed to mine, her baby was also conceived around that time, which means that Tom and her were still together around Thanksgiving. When did they announce their break-up?
Sarah’s note: The announcement was made December 14th that they had split up ’several weeks ago,’ with many reporting that the split occurred over the Thanksgiving holiday.
August 20th, 2007 at 6:03 pm
It would be nice to know the whole story but I’m sure we never will. It does seem odd that she got pregnant right before they broke up. It sounds like she wanted a baby & he didn’t. Maybe she told him she was on the pill & just stopped taking them??
Anyways, can’t wait to see if she has a boy or girl. I say boy.
August 20th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
So she may have gotten pregnant during one of those “one last time for old times’ sake” situations. Oh, and disclaimer before anyone claims I’m trying to say that I know how things went down. I don’t. Just saying it may have happened that way.
August 21st, 2007 at 12:11 pm
BRIDGET LOOKS HAPPY IN ALL OF HER PICTURES……….I THINK AT 36 SHE WANTED THIS BABY…AND WILL BE A GREAT MOM…GOOD FOR HER FOR WANTING EVERYTHING TO BE NATURAL…BUT BET THIS BABE IS GOING TO BE REALLY BIG…..I CAN SEE HER BREASTFEEDING…BEING VERY DEVOTED……IT WILL BE HARD ON HIM..IF HE IS THE DAD SORT OF GUY…BECAUSE HE WON’T BE ABLE TO BE WITH THE BABY…AS MUCH AS HE WOULD LIKE..I DON’T THINK
August 21st, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Gotta agree with Paula on this. Tom continues to be a turd in my book. Also agree with Lynn and terri–Bridget managed to stay pregnancy-free during all those years with Tom, then just as they’re breaking up, bam. Takes two to tango, indeedy.
August 21st, 2007 at 10:48 pm
madison: The Globe is a tabloid and not a reliable source of information. So it’s highly unlikely that the quotes that appeared in Globe were even real.
Sarah’s note: They are very real. It was transcribed from a sports radio interview that I happened to hear bits of myself.
Also, it’s the Boston Herald that’s considered a tabloid newspaper, not the Boston Globe.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:13 pm
For what it’s worth, Tom isn’t at this afternoon’s practice, and the Pats spokesman issued a No Comment.
Sarah’s note: Yup. Bridget’s rep told us she ‘hasn’t heard anything’ though. We shall see!
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:15 pm
I think it is great that they seem to be able to work this out together. If a couple is not happy together you can’t stay together just because she is pregnant. I don’t know why everyone rags on Tom he didn’t do anything wrong it’s a bunch of speculation on the everyones part that is not personally involved. Anyways they were talking about this on the radio this morning (I live in MA where the Patriots are) and everyone is freaking out because he wants to take the time off and the first official game is in a couple of weeks. Good luck to the both of them
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:36 pm
I’m glad this is almost over. I’m sick of hearing about the pregnancy and how awful Tom is and what a dog Giselle is. Nobody knows anything and everybody should just shut up and let these people live their lives. They’re adults and are acting like it. It’s the outsiders who know nothing who are acting like pigs!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:42 pm
I’m amazed she even wants him there when she delivers. I wouldn’t want him there if I were her.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Hea, we don’t know what happened when they split up and we don’t know whats happened since then.
It is Tom’s baby, and I do think he has every right to be there when his baby is born. If I were in Bridget’s shoes I would want the father of my baby there so that there was that connection with the father right from birth.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Who cares when or how they broke up. Tom has treated Bridget horribly the entire pregnancy. He could never even talk about his child until the other day. No way does this guy deserve one once of consideration in the delivery room. What a creep he is.
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:41 pm
I’m no Brady fan, but I have to agree with Devon. The baby is just as much a part of him as Bridget. He has a right to see this child be born. If I were her, I would want him to see me labor to bring our child into the world. I would also want the bonding process to begin at birth between father & child. Women get to start that bonding as soon as they feel the baby kick. Men need to see the birth actually take place. I wish them both much luck and happiness with their new baby.
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Hi guys, I just read on ET Online that Tom was just spotted arriving at a California hospital with flowers. She’s probably giving birth now, if she hasn’t had he/she already!
Here’s the link: http://www.etonline.com/celebrities/news/49563/
August 22nd, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Yeah I am with Hea. I don’t why women bend over backwards for men. Tom is not there for Bridget period. I think it’s ‘adult’ to make a choice that is right for you and if that means the father is not there for the birth then that is that should be respected.
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:27 pm
I agree 100% with Devon!
If he wasn’t there, people would say his a cold heart SOB, and when he is there, he’s still a cold heart SOB.. come on people, make up your minds!!
At least the people involved on this situation is being mature.. some people should learn with them!
August 22nd, 2007 at 7:55 pm
I think Bridget is a class act and a beautiful woman, and it really saddens me that Gisele is in the picture. (Not blaming her, but as a woman, you have to know when to WALK AWAY, and Gisele should have walked away.)
August 22nd, 2007 at 8:28 pm
MoyahanFan, Why? Are women now not supposed to date men who have children? Are men with children supposed to be celibate for the rest of their lives? Give me a break.
I like this site for the pictures and the news, but I really don’t get how invested some people here are in the lives of these celebrities, people they don’t know. Unless they are neglecting or abusing their kids, it’s really none of anyone’s business to judge their choices in life.
August 23rd, 2007 at 4:54 am
Seriously, you think he has the RIGHT to be there? Wow. I do not agree at all. I guess things are different here in Sweden because NOBODY has the RIGHT to be in the delivery room with the mother to be unless she’s a prisoner or a druggie and social services need to be there. It’s up to the mother to decide who will accompany her when she delivers. Nobody has the right to be there. That’s just silly. Birth is a very personal thing. The mother does not have to allow the father to be there if she doesn’t want him to.
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:59 am
I just saw this morning on CNN show “Robin & Company” that Giselle B. has said that she “looks forward to playing step-mother.” Does that seem to anyone else that they might plan to marry? Tom sure moves thru circustances in his life F-A-S-T.
Sarah’s note: That quote is from a British tabloid though, and it false.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:54 pm
Hey–The real story is that Tom broke up with Bridget WHEN he found out she was pregnant. THAT is the real story. She would not get rid of it and he ditched her and took up with Giselle.
He is NOT a class act in this respect. Not at all. Sorry to burst your bubble. Can you say cad???
