Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan proved she and ex Tom Brady are still on very friendly terms as she wrote that she was ‘so proud’ of him after he won his seventh Super Bowl on Sunday.
Bridget, 49, who dated quarterback Tom, 43, from 2004-2006 and the mother of his son Jon ‘Jack’ Edward, 13, took to Instagram to heap praise on him, writing: ‘ I am pretty sure I am not the only one from #patriotsnation celebrating @buccaneers.’
Bridget (born Kathryn) also included the hashtags ‘#superbowl #greatgame #strong #soproud #55,’ alongside a picture of him holding the ball and looking to the sky.

The New Englander shared a picture of him on Instagram and wrote: ‘I am pretty sure I am not the only one from #patriotsnation celebrating @buccaneers… #soproud’
The Buccaneers won 31-9 at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
It came two weeks after actress Moynahan gave the NFL MVP a shout-out over making it to his 10th championship: ‘Could not be more proud @tombrady said he would do it and he did.’
Brady and the Sex and the City alum’s son John was on the field of the Raymond James Stadium alongside his stepmother Gisele Bündchen, 40, and two half-siblings.
Gisele also took to social media to voice her support to her man. They married in 2009 and are parents to Benjamin Rein, 11 and Vivian, eight
The first of Bundchen’s posts showed a beautiful sunset that had taken place over Tampa’s waterfront while the track Go Bucs by artist Zayboe_Baby played.
In addition to tagging her location, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel wrote ‘Let’s go Bucs!!!’ in the caption for the snap.
Her second Story showed her arriving at the Raymond James Stadium, and she expressed her enthusiasm for the event by exclaiming, ‘Let’s go…game time!’
Bundchen’s final video showed her sitting next to a friend while being driven in a vehicle that had been modified for COVID-19 safety protocols.
The supermodel has been a Buccaneers fan ever since her husband joined the team last year.
The quarterback notably played for the New England Patriots for 19 years and led the team to six Super Bowl victories. He also helped the longstanding football franchise take home nine AFC championships.
After defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback has certainly earned the $30M-per-year free agent contract he signed in March.

Tom famously ended his two-year relationship with Bridget in December 2006 – the same month he went on a blind date with the IMG Model Gisele at West Village wine bar, Turks & Frogs.
According to TMZ, Tom proposed to Gisele in 2009 on a private plane from New Jersey to Boston, lining the inside of the jet with four dozen roses and champagne.
Less than a fortnight later, the couple married in a small Catholic ceremony at St. Monica Catholic Church in California.
He told GQ: ‘We planned it in 10 days and it was perfect.’
They held a second ceremony two months later on the beach of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, where they own a house.
Gisele told Vanity Fair that she knew Tom was the one from their very first date.
She said: ‘I knew right way — the first time I saw him. The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, “That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!”‘
Moynahan awkwardly welcomed baby Jack eight months later.
Gisele gave her perspective of Moynahan’s pregnancy in her own book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, which was released in 2018.
She found out Moynahan was expecting her child with Brady two months after Gisele started dating him.

The model penned: ‘I felt my world had been turned upside down. Needless to say, that wasn’t an easy time. But it was a time that brought about so much growth.’
She did call Jack ‘a blessing’ and treats him like one of her own.
Gisele added: ‘I wanted to be there for Jack and Tom, and do whatever I could to create stability in their lives, and help them to have a close relationship.’
In 2011, Gisele told Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning that the pregnancy almost tore the couple apart.
The Brazilian said: ‘I felt like I didn’t know what to do. It was one of those moments of like, “Do I just run away?” Years later, I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter bonus child.’
And Bridget reflected on her pregnancy in a 2008 interview with Harper’s BAZAAR.
She said: ‘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.
‘But I got so much out of that. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f***ked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.

‘Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own.
‘I don’t think you can ask for more than that. My son is surrounded by love.’
Bridget told More in 2011 that Tom was not present for the birth but visited the hospital a day later, saying: ‘He certainly wasn’t holding my hand while I pushed.’
It’s not all been plain-sailing for Tom and Gisele either.
According to PEOPLE, Gisele and Tom couple faced a difficult chapter in their relationship a few years ago when the supermodel reduced her work to focus on their kids and expected him to do the same.
A source told the publication: ‘She felt that she and Tom had a deal, but it didn’t happen.
‘Instead he was constantly busy, and Gisele was alone with the kids a lot. She was very unhappy.’

In April, Brady told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show that Gisele had been upset with him ‘a couple of years ago’ for focusing on his career more than his family.
He said: ‘She didn’t feel like I was doing my part for the family. She felt like I would play football all season and she would take care of the house, and then all of a sudden when the season ended, I’d be like, “Great, let me get into all of my other business activities. Let me get into my football training,”
‘And she’s sitting there going, “Well when are you going to do things for the house? When are you going to take the kids to school and do that?”‘
Brady said he was ‘resentful’ at first, but after Gisele wrote him a letter about their relationship and her frustrations, he ‘realized that for his marriage to work, he had no choice’ but to change.

A source told PEOPLE the couple had put the tough times behind them, saying: ‘They had a rough patch, but their marriage is even better now. Gisele is very happy.’
And Brady also told Stern: ‘I found a wife and a woman that I saw myself with for the rest of my life. She’s been an amazing supporter in everything I’ve done.’
Meanwhile, 5ft9in brunette Bridget celebrated her fifth wedding anniversary with investment banker and father-of-three, Andrew Frankel, on October 17.
Their wedding took place at Wolffer Estate Vineyards in Sagaponack, New York back in 2015, and it was a surprise event for guests.
Only a few friends and family attended the actual ceremony.
Others thought they were visiting them for a harvest moon party, and were shocked to find they were actually at Bridget and Andrew’s reception.
Moynahan currently plays New York County Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan in the 11th season of police procedural Blue Bloods, which airs Fridays on CBS.
