Long before she ever became “Blue Bloods'” ADA Erin Reagan, Bridget Moynahan realized that life in the public eye was not all it was cracked up to be. She started dating legendary quarterback Tom Brady in 2004, but they split up in 2006. Brady then started dating his future wife, Gisele Bundchen, when Moynahan discovered that she was pregnant. Moynahan shared a brutal account of that period in her life in the book, “Our Shoes, Our Selves.” She wrote (via Us Weekly), “Having a baby should have been the most joyous time of my life, but instead I felt assaulted.” The “I, Robot” actor described being hounded by the press after her public breakup with Brady, saying, “It’s unnerving to be followed and stalked like that, especially during such an emotionally vulnerable time.” Moynahan added, “I became reclusive for a bit… I became wildly private. I shared little and only with a select few.”

Moynahan remains an intensely private person even though her career thrusts her into the limelight. When she appeared on “CBS This Morning,” she explained why she even kept her wedding a secret until after she had tied the knot. “I was in the limelight for things I didn’t want to be in the limelight for. And so — I’m very private — if I want something out, I’d like to do it on my terms,” she said. And it’s very easy to understand why she had her reasoning.
