Bridget Moynahan Opens Up About Motherhood

2008-06-04T15:36:00.000-07:00

[Harper's Bazaar]

The first thing Bridget Moynahan did when she returned home from the hospital last August with her newborn son, John, was cry. Uncontrollably.

“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.”

It wasn’t postpartum depression, which fortunately Moynahan never suffered from. It was more of an overwhelming (potentially hormonal) anxiety about raising a child. “All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It’s frightening.” Much to Moynahan’s surprise, it’s been pretty much smooth sailing since. Eight months later, poolside at a Santa Monica hotel, Moynahan is showing off pictures of Jack, as she now calls him. It’s no shock that with her genes (and those of his father, the 30-year-old NFL quarterback Tom Brady), Jack’s simply adorable.

“There’s my little man,” Moynahan says, nuzzling the screen of her BlackBerry. Dressed casually in a T-shirt and jeans, she lights up when talking about Jack: “Don’t you want to just eat him up? That smile! And that drool!

“I have become that mother I used to dread,” Moynahan admits, shamelessly enumerating the things that Jack has been doing lately. As of press time, they included clapping, crawling, and standing up. “Every time he does something, you think he’s a genius.” She pauses and deadpans, “He’s totally a genius.”

Moynahan never imagined that she’d wind up a yummy mummy without a hubby. “I’m not sure anyone — and I could be wrong in this — grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom,” she says. She had dated Brady for three years, but in February 2007 she found herself in a complicated situation. She was three months pregnant with his child but no longer in a relationship with him. Though she says, “There’s no reason why my son years down the line would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father,” it’s common knowledge that Brady has since moved on with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 27. Meanwhile, Moynahan is raising her son alone (though Brady does spend time with Jack).

“Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me,” says Moynahan. “But I got so much out of that. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was fucked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”

Still, making the decision to go it alone was terrifying. Moynahan admits, “You really have to weigh out all the pros and cons and how it will fit into your life professionally, spiritually, and emotionally. Doing it on your own when it wasn’t expected comes with a lot of fears and anxieties. But I felt 100 percent that I could do this.”

Informing her parents of her plans was a challenge. “When you’re suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you’re in your 30s, it’s a hard conversation,” she continues. “I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that’s the way I’d be doing this. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family. I’ve had to recognize that there are just so many different options today.”

Fortunately, her family and friends rallied behind her. Will Smith, her costar in 2004’s I, Robot, was “a great support,” Moynahan recalls. “He picked up that phone faster than anybody to make sure I was okay when things were getting hectic.”

Despite her initial worries, Moynahan enjoyed her pregnancy. The weight she put on was “all baby.” “Being pregnant just felt so good. I was creating life on a daily basis, I felt beautiful, I felt sexy.”

Apparently, she wasn’t alone in that assessment: Moynahan found herself dating at around the six-month mark. “I couldn’t believe how many times I was asked out!” she says. “Not that I went out a lot. When I was faced with doing this on my own, I was worried about how it was going to affect my personal life. I was confident that it was not going to be an issue. And I was right.” She pauses and adds, “God, I’d love to have another one.”

Though Moynahan says she would be fine raising a second child on her own, she would prefer to do it with a husband or partner. “I think it’s important to have a strong male figure in my son’s life,” she says, “and I want something equal to that in my life, as a partner, a lover, a friend. But I’d rather be alone [than] with somebody who doesn’t work. I don’t need that, and my son doesn’t need that.”

Right now, Moynahan is dating, though “not anyone seriously at all.” And having Jack hasn’t hampered her romantic life. “It’s brought higher-quality people into my life because whoever is going to be [with me] understands straight off the bat that it’s a package,” she explains. “If you just want to hang out and have some fun, there are a thousand other girls who are willing.”

Due to the recent writers’ strike, Moynahan has been on unofficial maternity leave, but a television deal at ABC could have her back to work soon. These days, however, her priority is clearly Jack. They swim together daily, and music classes are just around the corner. She’s already introducing him to some of her favorites, like Eddie Vedder, Frank Sinatra, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. “You wake up in the middle of the night singing ‘Rainbow Connection’ one too many times and you just want to jump out the window.”

With that, Moynahan has to race home to greet one of Jack’s friends. “I would love to keep talking to you,” she says, grabbing her bag and hopping into her mom vehicle of choice, a BMW SUV. “But I have a date with a much younger man,” she says, winking. “And I swore I’d given up younger men.”

Helping to Protect Your Baby in the Sun

2008-05-20T12:46:00.000-07:00

Most of you know that in the Spring and Summer heat it can be difficult to keep your baby protected from the sun's harmful rays.

I have done some investigating and found some products that you might find to be incredibly useful during the next few months, saving you time and saving your babies precious skin.

This swimsuit' is made by SunSafe, and is just that. Blocking 97.5% of both UVA & UVB rays, this little suit has a full zip-up front and snaps for easy diaper access. Fabric: SunSafe® 50+ UPF AquaLite® and SunSafe® 50+ UPF Aqua®. Color: Floral, Ocean/White. Sizes: 1, 2, 3. Price: $42. This company also sells baby sun hats and blankets, as well as sun blocking apparel for the rest of the family. Visit SunSafe.com

Sunblock is the obvious choice when taking your baby outside, anytime. I found this nifty baby sunblock that sprays on with a disappearing color, so that you can visually see that every inch of your baby's exposed skin is protected. Unfortunately I don't know what color it turns, but let's hope it's something like paisley with sparkles! Sorry, I couldn't resist. This product is made by Avon and is simply called, Sun. It provides up to 80 minutes of broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with an SPF of 40. If you don't have an Avon lady, never fear, you can find this product at BabySunProtection.com for $9.99.

Sure, baby sunglasses are darling, but those little buggers just won't stay on their heads! Not true anymore, thanks to i play baby flex-specs sunglasses! They have flexible wrap-around bands that keep glasses in place and are less expensive than some the other competing brands. Adjustable with Velcro closures in back, they can fit accommodate a wide age group. They also provide 100% UVA and UVB protection! They are available in four designs and colors. Onl $7.39 a pair! Visit BeachBambino.com to get yours.

Jessica Alba in June Issue of Fit Pregnancy

2008-05-20T12:19:00.000-07:00

On what kind of mother she will be:
“I don’t want to be my child’s friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.”

On being a young mother:
“I think I’m the perfect age—young enough to be a young mom but old enough to be prepared and totally ready for it. My parents were 19 when they had me, and that is different from being 27. And I’ve lived many different lives, so I’m excited and happy to be a mom right now.”

On whether she is having any cravings or aversions: “I suddenly love citrus stuff, oranges and lemonade; I can’t get enough of it, and I didn’t really care for any of that before. And I can’t deal with things that are too pungent. I used to love truffles; now I can’t. I also have a hard time eating a big steak.”

On how she think Cash Warren will be as a father: “We are pretty similar in our views on parenting. But I really don’t want my kids eating McDonald’s, and Cash will probably be the kind of dad who’ll sneak off and get McDonald’s for them and tell them not to tell mom!”

On how she will introduce her diverse cultural heritage to her baby: “Mostly it will be the Mexican traditions that will be important. At Christmas we sing Las Posadas, which is like a Christmas play, and we sing all of the Christmas carols in Spanish and English. My grandmother has traditions I will definitely be exposing my kid to. As far as food goes, we are pretty diverse. Cash grew up with soul food, I grew up with Mexican, but we both love sushi and lots of other kinds of food, so we will be able to expose our kid to so many different things.”

On her delivery plans: “I want to spend as much of my labor as possible at home, and I’m taking a HypnoBirthing class. It’s a relaxation technique that allows you to avoid going into panic mode and tightening up. If you are calm and relaxed, your body will just do what it has to do.”
