Early life

Moynahan was born in Binghamton, New York, the daughter of a Irish Woman, Mary Bridget (née Moriarty), a former school teacher, and the Armenian Edward Bradley Moynahan, a scientist and currently an administrator at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She grew up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, along with her two brothers, Andrew and Sean; she is the middle child. Moynahan attended Longmeadow High School and graduated in 1989. In high school, she was active in school athletics, participating in soccer, basketball and lacrosse.

Moynahan dated NFL quarterback Tom Brady from 2004 until December 14, 2006.¹²³ On February 18, 2007, Moynahan confirmed to People magazine that she was more than three months pregnant and that Brady was the father. She gave birth to a baby boy, John Edward Thomas Moynahan ⁴ at Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica⁵ on August 22, 2007. In a July 2008 interview in Harper's Bazaar, Moynahan discussed her willingness to raise her son (nicknamed "Jack") as a single mother. ⁶

Career

As a model, Moynahan appeared on many magazine covers, including Elle, Self, Fitness Magazine, New Woman and Glamour. However, she did not begin to pursue acting until after starting her modeling career. In May 2006, Maxim magazine named her #96 on their annual Hot 100 list.⁷ She ranked No. 67 on AskMen.com's Top 99 women of 2007.

She studied acting at the Caymicheal Patten Studio in New York City. In 1999, she had her first major acting role (in a guest appearance) as "Natasha" in the TV series Sex and the City, which turned into a recurring role until her divorce from Big. Her breakthrough role in a feature film was as "Rachel" in Coyote Ugly a year later. Since then, she has appeared on a number of major films, such as Serendipity, The Sum of All Fears, The Recruit, I, Robot, and Lord of War.
