Back when Bridget Moynahan started shooting for the series Blue Bloods, her son Jack was just a baby. 14 seasons later, Jack, whom she had with NFL star Tom Brady, is 17 and 6’5” tall.

While Moynahan is happy seeing her son grow up, she is finding it hard to get a grasp on the Gen Z lingo he uses.
In her latest appearance on the talk show Sherri, Bridget revealed how it is a nightmare comprehending certain words or phrases Jack and her other kids use.
Moynahan shared she was stunned hearing the kids use the phrase “that’s disgusting” as a compliment. The actress couldn’t understand the logic behind using such a strongly negative word as a flattering remark.
“I have four boys right, because l married a man with three sons. Okay, so four boys and there’s this new saying, ‘this is disgusting’ or ‘that’s disgusting’ as it’s a compliment. It makes no sense to me.”
Bridget liberally used sarcasm while saying she herself started getting disgusted [negative tone]. “I know I’m paying good money for education so when they’re coming back… [with this, it’s crazy],” said Moynahan.
Host Sherri, who has Gen Z kids her self, could identify with Moynahan’s rant. The host summed it up best by noting how the Gen Z language around her makes her feel like an alien. “You feel like a foreigner in your own house,” said Sherri, to which Bridget agreed wholeheartedly.
The language issues notwithstanding, the Moynahan household is one happy family.
Brady’s breakup with Moynahan ultimately benefited both
Back when Brady linked up with Bridget, the two were earmarked by the media as the power couple of the entertainment world. On one side, we had two-time Super Bowl-winning QB Brady, and on the other, we had Moynahan, who had starred in shows and movies like Sex and the City, Coyote Ugly, Serendipity, and The Recruit.
Unfortunately, the relationship was short-lived, as the couple broke up within three years of dating. Luckily, this turned out to be the best for both Brady and Bridget, as they went on to be in the most significant romantic relationships of their lives. While Brady moved on to Gisele, Moynahan had a few flings before tying the knot with businessman Andrew Frankel.
Though Brady is single today, Moynahan is going strong in her marriage as she recently completed her nine-year anniversary with Frankel. She also is the stepmother to his three sons from a previous marriage, along with co-parenting Jack with the former NFL star.
