Behind the Brady-Bundchen Baby

It seems like Eros, Shiva and every other fertility god in the pantheon have cooked up some serious baby-momma drama for quarterback Tom Brady and his Heisman-worthy swimmers. Shortly after his 2006 break-up with actress Bridget Moynahan, she announced being preggers with Brady progeny; when their son Jack was born in 2007, Tom was in and out of the hospital faster than he could break a touchdown pass record.

A heart-broken Moynahan knew Brady’s absence was the result of his burgeoning romance with supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and hell hath no fury like a single mom scorned. Bitter Bridget didn’t pull any punches, and publicly lashed out at Tom for the crappy way he handled the situation. In the wake of her tongue-lashing, the former golden boy of the New England Patriots looked less like a dad, and more like a cad.

This time around, Brady knew he needed to make good. Rather than risking another character assassination, he made an honest underwear model out of Gisele. This past February, the two tied the knot in Los Angeles, and just for good measure, followed up with a ceremony in Costa Rica. (And guys? Not that we’re nit-picking, but you only need to get married once to be, you know, married.) Brady’s also been right by Bundchen’s side throughout her pregnancy, and was actually the first to find out the sex of the famous fetus.

Now that they’ve got another baby on board, Moonit decided to see if these new parents have a shot at survivng the “terrible two”s. According to their birth date analysis, this isn’t the most stable relationship. (Wow. Color us shocked.) These two have ultra-high expectations for each other, and their working styles aren’t exactly complementary; Tom can come off as being emotionally needy, and Bundchen’s uncompromising, strong-willed stance can be pretty hard to reckon with.

The silver lining is that, “with all this volatility, there’s a boatload of passion in store for them.” Well, duh. Have you seen them? It’s like someone asked God what “hot” was. Another saving grace is that, “they’re seriously attracted to each other, which is usually enough motivation to have them kissing and making up in seconds flat.” Thank goodness for that. We’re not sure this one will stand the test of time, but it’s definitely, “super exciting while it lasts.” Now, if Brady can just clinch a Patriots spot in Super Bowl XLIV, we’ll think about taking back that “cad” line…
