Gisele Bunchden on Brady-Moynahan Baby: I 'Already Feel Like He's My Son'

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are married. And Brady has a child. But it's not Gisele's child (it's Bridget Moynahan's.). One would have to imagine that makes things a touch awkward around the household.

However, according to a recent article in Vanity Fair, Gisele not only embraces the child, but rather awkwardly thinks of the baby as a child of her own.

After John Edward Thomas Moynahan was born, in August 2007, Brady and Gisele began shuttling between Boston, where Brady's football team is based, and Los Angeles, where Moynahan lives. "When we are in L.A. we have Johnny 50 percent of the time," Gisele says. "He's a little angel-the sweetest, most cuddly, loving baby. I feel blessed to have him in my life."

[...]Despite their commitment to spending time with John, however, Gisele has never met his mother. "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," Gisele says. "I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he's my son, from the first day."

Now, of course it's fantastic that Gisele is excited about playing a supportive role for Brady's child; and Lord knows I'm sure she had to go through a lot throughout the entire "marrying a famous guy while he's busy tending to his supermodel ex-girlfriend's baby" thing. That doesn't seem easy by any stretch of the imagination.

At the same time though, I have to think that comments like these -- as much as they may be intended to enhance and cultivate the relationship between Gisele and Moynahan -- tend to come off as purposeful and a little aggressive. By staking a claim to a child that is not hers, she seems, to me at least, to be kind of/sort of provoking Moynahan in public.
