Their lives are not a movie. It’s simply a couple of pictures of people going through things that many normal people go through. It’s messy and it sucks, but there is no formula that says Bridget has to be vindictive and petty or that Gisele has to want to take the place of Bridget in Tom’s life.

I have seen Gisele speak before and she is very expressive and has a lot to say. I honestly don’t believe she meant what she said in a vindictive way. She comes from a big family from a country where there is a lot of love to share and family is very important. I think she just meant to convey the amount of love she felt for this child, despite him not being hers.

That being said, I have never found Gisele that monumentally attractive. When she was super huge and the called her ‘the body’ and talked about her amazing curves I simply didn’t and still don’t get it. Like someone said above me, she has the body of a tall twelve year old boy with breasts.

Good for you Gisele and Tom, (has anyone seen the movie stepmom with susan sarrondon and julia roberts) a film where at first the natural mother of a child whose relationship breaks up and she resents the step mom but later realises that the stepmom is great person… I am sure that Gisele wants her stepson to feel completely loved and that is majorly because of how much love she feels for Tom Brady… he who cud of ignored the child altogether as he was no longer in a relationship with the childs mother but he decided even though he didn’f love the the baby’s mother he we love and care for the child just like the baby’s real mother and Gisele and Tom are doing what is best for the the baby being loving and caring and sharing their love with him…. much better than being not acknowledge and rejected wouldn’t you say… So I thing Tom and Gisele Brady are more doing the right thing because real love is not always straightforward good for them ….

MY 2 CENTS:

1) It is possible that Bridget and Giselle have never met. My boyfriend had 3 kids when I met him. I was a “step-mom” for 8 years and met his ex-wife on only 2 occasions. The reason only 2 occasions? B/c she was a really mean vindictive person who only wished bad things on us AND her children. Bridget may look nice and sweet as pie but you never know if she is a woman scorned and is giving Tom hell for not being w/ her……if that is the case, then I think Tom is handling it VERY WELL….but we’ll never know

2) We shouldn’t judge Giselle for what came out of her mouth. I think it is beautiful that she loves the baby as her own. She is from another country and sometimes translating words from another language to English doesn’t always come out the right way. It happens all the time!

3) I believe that Bridget is a lot prettier than Giselle. Saw her at the Patriots Day Parade in Boston and she is gorgeous in person. But on the other hand….models aren’t always beautiful. Haven’t you seen Tyra Banks’ ANTM? LOL!

4) I honestly don’t see why anyone is knocking Tom or Giselle….They are in a committed relationship and are MARRIED and NOT boyfriend and girlfriend…I guess marriage doesn’t mean much to people these days.

5) I read somewhere that Bridget’s people are saying that Tom and his WIFE are exploiting the baby b/c there are more pics of them w/ the baby than Bridget w/ him…..did they ever stop to think that the two of them are a thousand times more famous than she is and that the paps are gonna follow them more than her?

NOW….I am NOT against Bridget at all. Because she IS the MOM. I am just getting sick and tired of hearing people talk badly about Tom and G. It’s so annoying. These people are MARRIED and are going on w/ their day to day lives. IS IT THEIR FAULT THAT WE ARE SO NOSEY THAT WE WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT THEM? GEEZ PEOPLE! Luv you! : )

It’s nice that Gisele cares so deeply for John, but her comments were insensitive. If the woman who married my ex-boyfriend told me that she respected that I was his child’s mother but felt that the child was hers, I would feel hurt and disrespected. Gisele needs to think before she speaks.

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said. I grew up with a stepmom who loved me the same way that Giselle loves Tom’s son. It was great! I had my Mom and a StepMom. Both women always had my best interest at heart, and they both loved me and my brothers immensely. I am a better woman because of the influence they both had on me. So, I think it is great that she cares for him in that way. No one can ever replace your biological Mother (nor should they try, and I don’t think Giselle is), but it’s never a bad thing to have to “extra” parents that love you as if they had given birth to you.

Ohhhh, come on!!! She is so shallow that she truely believes that John Edward is hers…. Baby, you might think you can have everything in Life and that is totally the way you believe it BUT not this boy. HE IS DEFINETELY NOT YOURS and stop being so ridiculous!

if it were my baby she were talking about, i’d think i’d be mad.

but we all know his mum is a classy woman. i mean she never spoke in public when bundchen took her man. I mean duh of course he’s going to have a relationship with his mother…

well i agree with snotneus, i find her comment full of poison. it’s like she’s telling her, ‘I got your man, and now I got your son too’

totally getting evil vibes from her.

By: Snotneus

Snotneus — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 08:05:32 +0000

Her comments are unbelievably rude and disrespectful. You don’t have to be a parent to understand that comments like ‘I want him to have a great relationship with his mother’ or ‘just because someone else birthed him, doesn’t mean he is not mine’ come across threathening to a mother and are a stab straight in her heart. These comments hurt and were meant to do exactly that. Maybe a man doesn’t see much wrong with what she said but I think most women will recognise it for what it is – a comment full of poison wrapped in fake sincerity, made by a person who is only pretty on the outside (and even that can be debated).

I can kind of see both sides of this. When my husband and I started dating, he had been divorced for 3 years his son from his first marriage as 4 years old. 7 years later I have met his ex-wife 4 times because SHE goes out of her way to express her discomfort in my presence. This is after my husband and I have been married for 6 years and have TWO daughters! I really feel she should get to know someone who is such a part of her son’s life but apparently she cannot deal with the fact that my husband has moved on and apparently she has not.
Now, heaven forbid my husband I were to break up, I would REALLY have a hard time letting our daughters be around any new girlfriends he may have. As a matter of fact, I am sure I would do everything in my power to prevent it.
Bottom line, as long as they all act in the best interest of the baby, that is what is important.

As a mother – if my husband and I were to split – and he remarried – I’ll be DAMNED if my kids would spend time with a woman that I never met. Granted I totally get why Bridget would not want anything to do with her. And there is no reason or explaination in the world for me to accept her saying that child is 100 percent hers. I’m sorry, I find nothing “endearing” about her comments. I find them backhandedly bitchy. Ms thing needs to know her role and stay there. She is NOT his mother. He is Tom and Bridget’s child. I’m sure that tears a her hence the reason for her comments. Sorry Trent – that’s a FAIL…..

Tracy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 05:43:29 +0000

Wow. Um…I don’t think it was right for her at ALL to say that he is her child. He has a mom, you are his stepmom and nothing will change that. That was disrespectful IMO.

I think what some of you are missing is how it looks to people who actually have children, childless people might have a harder time understanding. Think about it this way she has never met bridget so she isn’t going to think of her feelings the way she would if she had, of course she KNOWS he has a mother, she isn’t going to say he doesn’t b/c everybody already knows, but I don’t see how anyone can read that sentence wrong, she said he was 100% hers, how in the hell is someong going to “get that wrong” unless she was misquoted, it would be different if she had just simply said, ” I love him so much, I love him like he’s mine, or I feel like he’s mine” that’s perfectly fine and loving. Women who want children of their own are probably going to love a little baby who belongs to their new hubby and who’s mom they’ve never had to meet, alot of mean step mom’s end up being mean b/c they have drama with the birth mother,they don’t want or like kids, or they have hangups about other ppl’s kids, alot of stepmom’s love their stepchildren as their own, I had a wonderful stepdad who loved me that way, but my dad was NOT in the picture so there was no issue between them, and I always knew who my real dad was and who my stepdad was and I didn’t love my stepdad as my dad but as my stepdad who loved me better than my father did. Hopefully the best interest of the child is always the deciding factor and that the three can come together for this little boy. As far as Giselle, I’ve always thought she was a good model b/c of her posing, not b/c of her face b/c personally I never found her attractive, but she has no hips or waist and her face is sometimes pretty, sometimes ugly, like scarlett johanseen, but in modeling it isn’t about being the most conventionally pretty person we all know that from top model.

Alex ,Giselle has been a dual citizen for years, b/c she’s been a professional model since her teens and she’s in her late 20′s now, she’s been around enough to know what she’s saying and doing, she knew what she said, unless she was misquoted that’s not a weird thing to say that’s a F’d up toe- up thing to say, YOU Don’t say that about another woman’s child, sorry I have nothing against giselle or bridget or Tom , never cared or paid much attention to any of them, but just the fact that she said anything like that, spells trouble for this couple and their situation, and really I saw it coming as soon as he dumped bridget , never saw his son, got with giselle, etc etc.( and I only know that from tmz). Im sure they are both nice women, but I have a feeling Tom is no prize, and I have a feeling that this kid could get caught in the cross fire if lines aren’t drawn now.

TandSara — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:16:41 +0000

It’s great that she loves his little boy since she is currently his step mom,but his mother will ALWAYS be his mother and for them to have not met is wrong, and for her to call him her 100% son is also wrong and dismissive of the woman who gave birth to him and has been there all along( if his mother wasn’t in the picture I might feel differently but she is obviously the primary caretaker of the child ), and who will be there wether Giselle and Tom make it or not. Giselle is a little delusional to even make that statement, I hope she pops out her very own kid so she can stop romanticizing motherhood, she is clueless. People who don’t understand what I’m saying, don’t have kids b/c most mothers are going to want the step mother to step back some, and let the actual mother parent, and the step mother will get a voice but she is not the Mother of the child therefore she can’t behave as though she is. It’s called respect. trent you were right about one thing, the 3 of them will definitely have to come together and hash this out b/c trust me THAT shit right there is going to cause some problems, once bridget reads that, she and giselle will meet, b/c she isn’t going to allow giselle to take over as mother, and push her out of the picture and try to pretend he is her own son. ( which is the creepy way it sounds when I read it)

As a HUGE Tom Brady fan, I’ll admit I have a hard time hating Gisele. I agree that what she said sounds weird, but I do think the language barrier is a big problem in the way that reads. She’s only been married to him a month or so and I think its REALLY cool that she has accepted Tom’s son as her own. She wasn’t even officially his stepmom until now and if she has spent her entire relationship with Tom, accepting that the two boys are a package deal then I do have to admire her for that. Maybe he and Bridget don’t have the ideal situation but whatever it is, they are making it work. Plus, if they were broken up the whole time she was pregnant, its not surprising that the baby has her last name and that Tom doesn’t come off as the sort of father others think he should be. Its not like they spent 3-9 months blissfully awaiting the precious life they created together and now he is basking in that bliss. It was not planned but it seems like he is doing what Bridget is expecting him to and they are ALL making the most of the situation. No, it isn’t ideal but really the three of them are making it all work in their own way even though its not very typical.

I read part of the article and saw the news feed on it on aol.com and while I think it’s great that she’s not bothered by Tom’s son at all I think it is a little odd that she’s calling him hers… I mean especially since she’s never met his actual mother and whatnot… but you gotta give her credit for at least being a loving stepmom… he’s too young to understand what’s going on so it’s just good that he’s always around people who love him… I don’t see how they have never met though… I mean wasn’t Bridget a model before she went into acting? Wouldn’t they have been on the scene together? And Gisele really is too perfect looking… it makes me want to break my mirrors

“It’s just not possible for a human to be so perfect!”?!?! What?! When I first saw that cover photo my first thought was “Holocaust survivor.” When I saw the one of her behind the frosted glass door I thought “twelve year old boy w/ breasts.” The woman needs to eat a meal or three. A normal woman cannot look like that and should not strive to.

I don’t get why people are getting so mad about that quote. Its not like she’s trying to take her step son away from his real mother. I find it very sincere that she feels like its his kid, too. Most Stepmother’s have the reputation for being a bitch and not exactly warm to their own children… I think it’s nice.

I read it the same way as you, MeGs. It doesn’t sound to me like she’s trying to replace Bridget as his mom..

By: MeGs

MeGs — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:20:53 +0000

@Pam I agree with your point about the child NOT being Giseles. No one should ever come between mother and child! I think ppl may be reading it the wrong way or maybe its me. I thought she was trying to say she knows John has a mother but she treats him like her own and thinks of him as her son. Engligh isn’t her first language and she seems a little overly expressive but… she did acknowledge Briget as his mother twice in that paragraph so thats what I took from it. I dunno..

By: Lisa

Lisa — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:19:37 +0000

I think what she said was absolutely horrifying…’because somebody else delivered him’…that SOMEBODY is his MOTHER. This was NOT an adoption. His mother, Bridget, carried him, delivered him and loves him more than anything in the world, she is his mother, period.

To be a loving stepmom is GREAT because believe me, I don’t have that, but she is WAYYYYYYY overstepping here. She’ll change her tune when she has kids of her own & sees the bond and then maybe she’ll feel bad for making Bridget feel like that. Not saying you can’t love adopted children or stepchildren the same as a biological one but she seems to be forgetting here that he does have a mom, a very good one.

By: Courtney

Courtney — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:16:13 +0000

I’m not a big fan of these pictures of her, and I think she sounds downright crazy, commenting on Bridget’s son like that. Hello, he’s not your kid. And really? “It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.” Yeah…a skeeze football player who’s letting his ex raise his son on her own.

Megs, I think bridget is far more beautiful than Gisele. Gisele’s got a great body and it’s super tall, but Bridget has a beautiful face, she is gorgeous.
I don’t like one bit what Gisele says. Being a single mom with an ex (that dates like Paris Hilton) I would be super pissed if his GF would talk about my son and say it is hers… what??? I would kill her. I don’t even like her to mention him. I’ve been the one making the efforts and sacrifices, and to have someone come along and act like u dont exist… disturbing. Gisele should acknowledge Bridget. “I want him to have a great relationship with his mom” ??? That is not up to her to discuss or even comment, I think she is way out of line and I swear I can see Bridget’s face turning red as she reads this. Unbelievable.
As you can see, Bridget had no intention of naming they boy after his father (and didn’t) because of how he managed the whole situation. Gisele is aking him come out like this awesome guy that takes care of his son when he actually did not want anythig to do with it at the beginnig. I dont mind Gisele but this is messed up. She should not comment on a boy who is NOT hers.

I prefer Bridget’s beauty of Gisele’s, but they’re both different. Gisele’s made for modeling, Bridget is just more.. real and natural. :)
