A few weeks ago, Star Magazine reported a funny (and probably false) story that Bridget Moynahan bought a passive-aggressive baby gift for Gisele Bundchen. The crux of the story was that Bridget didn’t want to shell out a lot of cash for Gisele, so she went into a baby store and bought a $20 outfit and complained about it to whoever would listen. Bridget and Gisele’s history is long and sordid, suffice to say that I get the impression that Gisele is a very effusive woman, even with people who can’t stand her, and Bridget can hold a grudge like nobody’s business.
It looks like things are turning around for Gisele and Bridget though – according to a new report from Star. They claim Bridget is giving Gisele “mothering advice” as the two women “gabbed for more than three hours” at Bridget’s home:
Gisele Bundchen is getting mothering advice from the unlikeliest of people: her husband’s ex!
Bridget Moynahan has put any bitterness aside to help Tom Brady’s new lady enter the world of mommy hood. The two women gabbed for more than three hours at Bridget’s Pacific Palisades, California home on July 2.
“Gisele had been reaching out to Bridget for some time now, with little success,” an insider tells Star. “But Bridget finally realized it was time to set aside their differences for the sake of the kids.”
The power to forgive is important in a mom!
[From Star Magazine, print edition, August 10, 2009]
I’d argue that the power to forgive is important for everyone, not just mothers, but whatever. I kind of hope this story is true, even if it means there will be no more Gisele versus Bridget tabloid stories. It shows both women are very mature, which I kind of suspect anyway. I really wonder what they were talking about – breastfeeding? Nannies? Binkies? Or Tom’s penis size?

I also hope this story is true. I would like for them to get along it would be good for the kids. Did I miss Tom and Gisele’s announcement saying they are pregnant?
Gisele will always be a b!tch, no matter what she tries to do…
Kaiser, your line “the power to forgive is important to everyone” is RIGHT ON. I get so tired of ex-girlfriends or ex-wives being nasty to the new woman just out of spite or bitterness. Frankly, it just makes them look terrible and causes everyone (mostly the children) to suffer. It’s like these types wallow in their “victim-hood” and it becomes their raison d’etre. It is so much more powerful to deal with it and move on with life.
So it is very refreshing to read something about how 2 “rivals” can put their past behind them and get along! Imagine, two women acting like mature adults! It’s wonderful. Perhaps the media has exaggerated the rift betewen these two, because it sells more mags. Whatever the case, I really hope this is true.
The minute I see Star attached to any story, I know it is 99% lies. I never thought that the day would come that The National Enquirer became a legit tabloid compared to others, but Star just sinks lower and lower each week.
Still not a fan of Gisele. I would prefer Bridget anyday as a Mom.
Perhaps now that Gisele is pregnant, she will be replaced by a younger model (Bar, are you readin this?) and they can build a firm relationship by sharing the same experience.
Nev,
They (Tom and Gisele) never announced it themselves. “Sources” confirmed it and we all believe it. They were doing it to “respect” her privacy. Apparently expecting parents cannot announced their new bundle of joy themselves.
I think Bridget didn’t even talk to Tom or Gisele about this subject. I think she couldn’t care less about this couple (no one else cares either, they don’t have enough spice to make people pay attention. They’re boring). The media loves to create this “hot-new-woman-vs-bitter-ex-girlfriend” thing. It happened to Jennifer Aniston and they’re doing the same with Bridget. Bridget is a beautiful, beautiful woman, she has a life of her own, a gorgeous baby and she certainly deserves better than this Tom douche. And I think Bridget knows it.
But, Bridget can be happy with Gisele pregnant for one reason: she’ll stop trying to be John’s mom.
it would be great if bridget finally spoke to gisele, because this is just another explanation she will have to provide her son when he realizes that she doesn’t know or speak to his step mom. the other is when he ralizes he is a means to trap his father. fiona says, gisele is a bitch, does she know her personally? because most people who have met her think she is great. congrats to tom and gisele and little john, who will be a great big brother.
