In the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair - which Gisele Bundchen graces the cover, she also speaks of her husband Tom Brady's son, 19-month-old John "Jack" Edward, and how much she loves him. She says he's 100 percent her son, regardless that he has a mother - Bridget Moynahan. Now, a friend of Bridget's is speaking out, and she's peeved.
Supermodel Gisele said of baby John, "When we are in LA, we have Johnny 50 percent of the time. He's a little angel - the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life... I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that. But to me, it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child - I feel it is, 100 percent."
A friend of Bridget's told the New York Post, "If Gisele loved Bridget's child like he was '100 percent her own,' then she would not talk about him in the press. Discretion and respect are not either of Gisele or Tom's virtues, as we evidenced even when the child was still unborn and they publicly flaunted their relationship without any discretion whatsoever."
The pal added, "Don't you think Jack will grow up and read her comments and find them disrepectful to him and his mother? If Tom is such a great father as everyone likes to say, then you would think that he'd respect the privacy of his young child and would ask his wife not to use his son as a publicity prop and a subject of public discussion. Is she so desperate for attention that she can't find anything more productive to talk about other than Bridget's child?"
So, what do you think? Do you think what Gisele said was inappropriate or were her comments taken out of context? Was Gisele just trying to convey the message that she loves her husband's son and didn't mean any disrespect to Bridget? Or, is it a matter of 'she's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't'? Meaning... if she didn't say something "loving," then she'd be viewed as the "evil" stepmom or by saying something nice (that she loves John like her own), she's being too pushy? Or, like the friend said, should Gisele have just left John out of her conversation with Vanity Fair?
