FanHouse Bridget Moynahan

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are, on a very rare occasion or two, scrutinized by the paparazzi. The proverbial heat is probably going to get cranked even more based on the newest rumor: Gisele is pregnant.

So sayeth People (who claim that speculation has grown since Bundchen recently appeared in photos with a "perceptible bump" underneath her shirt).

"Gisele will be an excellent mother," a source tells PEOPLE. "She's always wanted kids." Reps for Bündchen reached by PEOPLE for confirmation refused to comment.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are married. And Brady has a child. But it's not Gisele's child (it's Bridget Moynahan's.). One would have to imagine that makes things a touch awkward around the household.

However, according to a recent article in Vanity Fair, Gisele not only embraces the child, but rather awkwardly thinks of the baby as a child of her own.

Bridget Moynahan has kept a fairly low profile in the 16 months since we found out she was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend Tom Brady's baby.

But she granted Harper's Bazaar access to her life, and she says motherhood was tough for her at first:

"Everyone says, 'You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby and it's just beautiful,'" says the 37-year-old Massachusetts-raised model turned actress. "And I walked in and I just started sobbing. ...
"I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom."

Now, however, Moynahan says she's warming up to being a single mom. And she says there won't be any magazine articles quoting her saying anything bad about Brady, who does occasionally spend time with their son, because she wouldn't want her son to read them some day: "There's no reason why my son years down the line would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father."

When the media explore athletes' personal lives, where is the line? When is it OK to judge an athlete who isn't breaking the law, but also isn't necessarily living his life the way many people think he should?

I'm not sure exactly where the line is, and that's why I'm not sure whether the Boston Herald has crossed the line with an article headlined, "Brady's Fun in the Sun Burns Up Baby Time." The article details the way Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is spending his off-season with his current girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, which means that he's not spending time with the 6-month-old son he has with his former girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.

So is that out of bounds? Or is it none of our business? I'm not sure. I do know that I intensely disliked Rick Reilly's Sports Illustrated column that praised Brady for the "personal responsibility" of being a good father despite offering no evidence whatsoever that he is, in fact, a good father. But I also dislike the idea that every one of Brady's vacations is going to be offered up as evidence that he's a bad father.

I guess the kid won't have to worry about living in his father's shadow -- too much. Turns out the announcers for Tom's most recent preseason game against Carolina were wrong when they said the baby's name was Jonathan Brady. According to the AP, the baby is named John Edward Thomas Moynahan. Fitting initials for a kid with NFL blood if you ask me.

A lot of people are taking the lack of Brady in the kid's name as a slap towards Tom. Personally, I think they did the kid a favor. Not to say that Moynahan isn't a distinguishing surname, but it would be tough to carve out an identity when you're sharing a name with a three time Super Bowl winner. Now all we need to do is see father and son in a commercial together.Sorry, No Photos

Newborn Babies Are No Match for Tom Brady

If Tom Brady were, say, Rex Grossman, and he just put the finishing touches on a preseason performance that included completing 17 of 21 passes for 167 yards, two touchdowns and no picks, I'd suggest he should have a baby every week.

But Brady's no Grossman; he plays like this all the time, proving, I guess, that nothing fazes the guy. Focus, sheer force of will and all that.

Actually, Brady missed two days of practice to fly to California to be with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan as she gave birth to their son. But as of now, that's all we know. And when I write "we", I mean everybody outside of his immediately family. According to the AP, Brady avoided reporters after the game, and he hasn't even told his teammates the name of the baby.

"He's got to fly across the world and take care of his issues," receiver Kelley Washington said. "It just shows how professional he is."

Yep, geographical exaggerations aside, Washington nails it. Brady looked to be in mid-season form, which isn't really that surprising since he's, you know, Tom Brady.

In other Pats-related news, Adalius Thomas wreaked havoc for two quarters, Wes Welker proved to be just as annoying in a Patriots uniform as he was in a Dolphins get up, and Laurence Maroney got plenty of work -- he carried the ball on New England's first seven plays -- and looked good doing so. Oh, and the Pats steamrolled the Panthers 24-7. Start up the Super Bowl talk ... oh, wait.

So here's where we are on the whole Tom Brady-Bridget Moynahan pregnancy thing. First, Brady's agent, Don Yee, had this to say:

"Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy, and want to thank everyone who has shown support, and particularly for their consideration of Tom's privacy,"

And the Boston Herald has this to say about why Brady and his family would be excited:

it appears as though Tom's following some kind of Brady Bunch tradition here. Big sister, Maureen, had a baby out of wedlock and just married the father of her 6-year-old last year. His sister, Julie, also is an unmarried mom.

And a condom company is staying classy:

A California condom company announced yesterday that their superhero mascot, CondomMan.com, is delivering 2,000 prophylactics to the Super Bowl champion daddy-to-be.
"While Tom Brady has proven himself to be a hero on the football field, something told me that he needs the help of a superhero off the field right now." said Kevin Mirarchi, owner of CondomMan.com.

I have a feeling Brady is in no hurry to get back from Paris.
