The model Bridget Moynahan found out she was pregnant with the couple’s child after she had already parted ways with her ex-lover, an NFL player. Despite this, the couple reached a mutual decision to part ways in a civilized manner, and Moynahan has since met the man who will complete her happily ever after.
In the television show “Blue Bloods,” actress Bridget Moynahan plays the role of a divorced lady named Erin Reagan-Boyle. However, in real life, Bridget Moynahan is happily married to her husband.
The well-known New York businessman Andrew Frankel is the celebrity television star’s husband. On October 17, 2022, the couple commemorated the occasion of their seventh wedding anniversary with a party.
After going through a challenging period as a single parent to her son John, whom she shares with her ex-partner, football star Tom Brady, Moynahan eventually met the man who would become her true love.

Moynahan is said to have met her future spouse via a mutual acquaintance, as stated in Country Living and reported on by People. However, it is unknown when the two people first came into contact with one another.
An eyewitness told People that the brunette beauty was “on cloud nine” when she met Frankel and that ever since then, the two lovebirds have been inseparable. The insider also said that the lovebirds had been together for a long time.
In April 2015, Frankel and Moynahan announced their engagement, and just a few short months later, they were married. Since then, the model has openly discussed her husband and has been effusive in her appreciation of him when promoting her cookbook on “The Rachel Ray Show in 2015:
“He is the kindest man in the world. Sincere, considerate, and emotionally attuned. He is the greatest there is. He is willing to try almost anything, and he always raves about it afterward.
Frankel is a business entrepreneur who got his start in the industry working for Steinhardt Partners. After that, in 1993, he started working for his family’s business, which was called Stuart Frankel & Co.
He has more than twenty years of experience working in the firm’s co-president capacity. According to the website of the firm, the family business has been a member of the New York Stock Exchange for longer than any other independent broker.
Basia Zamorska, who is the stylist for his wife, divulged the details of the proposal to People magazine. Reportedly, Frankel popped the question to Moynahan on a “romantic trip” in Puerto Rico and presented her with the ring that she had “always dreamt of” having on her finger.
He dropped down on one knee and gave the native New Yorker a ring that had been passed down through the Fred Leighton family. “The diamond is positioned east-west, which is precisely what the bride has always desired,” the insider continued.
Moynahan and Frankel chose to have a “surprise” wedding on Long Island with just their closest friends and family members in attendance. During the ceremony, they exchanged their “I dos.” On October 19, 2015, the celebration took place at the Wolfer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York.
The couple surprised their loved ones by inviting them to a harvest moon ritual, which was an unexpected event. However, the guests found out later that they would be assembling at a private event to celebrate Frankel and Moynahan’s wedding and recognize their love for one another.
Zamorska, who worked on the bride’s wedding dress, stated that they “surprised” Moynahan “with her beloved H.Stern earrings,” which were quite uncommon. The wedding planners revealed that the occasion’s concept was rustic with a “festive autumn vibe.”
John Moynahan, who was just eight years old at the time, was present during his mother’s wedding and saw her exchange vows with another man in the middle of a field.
Ann David and Nicky Reinhard, both of whom work at David Reinhard Events, told People that Moynahan and Frankel were persuaded to follow through with the idea of having “an intimate, autumn harvest wedding.”
The bride chose to wear a mermaid-type gown, and J. Mendel, who was there for the fittings and said that they celebrated the completed result “with champagne,” said that the bride went with this design.
The couple’s big day was going to be more of a family gathering than an actual event, according to the planners who were in charge of the preparations. The couple had the intention of keeping their big day uncomplicated and full of “a nice mood and fantastic energy.”
After three years of dating, Moynahan and Brady ended their relationship peacefully in 2006. This was followed by Moynahan’s wedding to Frankel in 2007. After a few months had passed, she finally found out that she was pregnant with the couple’s kid.
The actress from “I, Robot” gave birth to her first and only kid in August of 2007, and she discussed her labor and delivery in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar a year later, in June of 2008, when she had just become a mother for the first time.
She admitted that once she arrived home from the hospital, “I just started sobbing.” Moynahan was overcome with emotion as she explained that people had told her, “You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby, and it’s just beautiful.” She shed tears as she explained that people had told her, “You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby, and it’s just beautiful.”
Moynahan broke down in tears because she was terrified of having to bring up her baby by herself without any previous experience doing so. She voiced her concern by stating, “It’s terrifying.”
In addition, the woman who only has one child never dreamed that she would be raising her child by herself. Moynahan quotes her as saying that the experience fundamentally altered her life and “sucked the breath out of me.” She added that the “traumatic” travel, mixed with the loss, had an overwhelming effect on her.
But as time went on, she came to the conclusion that being a single parent did not have to be so discouraging, and she embraced this new normal in her role as a parent, which she described as “the finest thing in the world.”
Moynahan found out she was three months pregnant shortly after breaking up with NFL quarterback Brady, whom she began dating in 2004 and who, by that time, had already moved on with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen. Moynahan began dating Brady in 2004, and by the time they broke up, Brady was already dating Gisele Bundchen. On the other side, she was a single parent and was responsible for raising her kid.
Despite her nervousness and anxieties about becoming a single parent, the “Coyote Ugly” actor was still certain that she would be able to bring up her son Jack on her own. Moynahan noted that in all facets of her life, she needed to take into consideration the highs and lows that may be associated with the fact that she was raising her kid by herself.
She had to break the news to her parents, which she described as a challenging task. Moynahan noted that the talk she needed to have with her parents at the time was “difficult” for her since no one was standing by her to support her at the time:
“I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I simply always assumed that’s the way I’d be doing this. For a minute, it was difficult for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family.” [Case in point:] “I’m a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage.”
Thankfully, she did end up getting married and is now able to have a blended family with her husband Frankel, who already had three sons from a previous relationship. People were told by a number of reliable sources that the couple was excited to jointly bring up their boys.
It was also reported that Jack at the time was “enthusiastic” about “gaining three amazing elder brothers.” There are no children born to Frankel and Moynahan’s marriage.
