While Moynahan and Brady continued co-parenting their son, she is currently married to Andrew Frankel. 

On the live Netflix special that aired on May 5, comedian Nikki Glaser made the first reference to Moynahar. “Tom, you’re the best to ever play for too long, you retired then came back then retired, I get it … Kt’s hard to walk away from something that isn’t your pregnant girlfriend,” she said. “To be fair he didn’t know, he just thought she was getting fat,” Glaser continued. 

The second reference came from Kim Kardashian who made a cameo at the show. “The last time this guy went truly deep, he ended up paying child support to Bridget Moynahan,” the actor said. 

How did Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady break up?

The NFL superstar and the Sex and the City actor met in 2004 and dated for nearly three years. However, the two decided to part ways at the end of December 2006.

Bridget Moynahan’s rare glimpses of their relationship

While Moynahan likes to keep her personal life private mostly, she sometimes shares glimpses of her relationship through social media and rare interviews. In an interview with Glamour in 2021, Moynahan spoke about "finding love in your 40s" and showered praises for her husband. 

“What I learned was sometimes you have to fish in another pond, as the saying goes. I had been dating people in the industry. 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. I don't think as a younger person I understood what that meant when it pertains to real-life situations,” she said.
