Bridget Moynahan: Balancing Hollywood, Family, and Life Beyond Blue Bloods
Bridget Moynahan has captivated audiences for years with her portrayal of Erin Reagan on the hit CBS drama Blue Bloods. As a determined Assistant District Attorney, her on-screen character expertly balances career and family, mirroring Moynahanโs own compelling journey beyond the spotlight. From her marriage to Andrew Frankel to co-parenting with NFL legend Tom Brady, hereโs a closer look at her life off-screen.
A Love Story: Bridget Moynahan & Andrew Frankel
In October 2015, Moynahan tied the knot with Andrew Frankel, a successful businessman based in New York. Frankel, a partner at his family-owned firm, Stuart Frankel & Co., is part of one of the oldest independent brokerage firms on the New York Stock Exchange.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Wรถlffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York. Reflecting on their relationship in a 2021 interview with Glamour, Moynahan shared, โI had been dating people in the industry. Then I met a solid, good human being without any pretension.โ
Now in their fifties, the couple enjoys a private yet fulfilling life in New York City, cherishing time with their blended family. Moynahan has a son, Jack, from her previous relationship, while Frankel has three sons from a prior marriage.
Co-Parenting with Tom Brady
Before her marriage to Frankel, Moynahan was in a highly publicized relationship with NFL superstar Tom Brady. The couple, who began dating in 2004, announced their separation in December 2006. Shortly after, Moynahan revealed she was expecting Bradyโs child.
Navigating co-parenting in the public eye was challenging, but both Moynahan and Brady remained committed to creating a positive environment for their son, Jack. In a 2011 interview, she reflected, โMy son has two loving parents and an extended familyโฆ The goal has always been to keep it positive and prioritize the kids.โ
Raising Jack: A Supportive and Grounded Approach
Now 17, Jack remains a central part of Moynahanโs life. Despite growing up with famous parents, she has ensured he has the freedom to carve out his own path. During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, she shared, โJack is like any normal kid who doesnโt quite know what he wants to do yet, and thatโs okay.โ
While Jack shares a strong bond with his father and has spent time on football fields, his interests lean more toward basketball and lacrosse. Brady has expressed pride in his son, often sharing heartfelt moments of their relationship on social media.
Balancing Hollywood and Family
Despite a thriving career, Moynahan has managed to maintain a private, balanced personal life. Her ability to prioritize family while excelling in Hollywood showcases her resilience and strong values.
With Blue Bloods coming to an end after an incredible run, fans will surely miss her portrayal of Erin Reagan. However, her impact on the showโand her dedication to familyโcontinues to inspire audiences worldwide.
As she embarks on the next chapter of her life, Bridget Moynahan remains a shining example of strength, grace, and perseverance in both Hollywood and beyond.
