Bridget Moynahan, best known for her role on “Blue Bloods”, has maintained a relatively private life, despite her high-profile past relationships, most notably with NFL star Tom Brady. However, her marriage to businessman Andrew Frankel in 2015 brought him into the spotlight. While Moynahan’s professional life is widely discussed, Frankel, the man by her side, remains more mysterious to many. Who exactly is Andrew Frankel, and what is their relationship like? Here’s everything you need to know.
Who is Andrew Frankel?
Andrew Frankel is a New York City-based businessman who has made a name for himself in the financial industry. He is the co-president of Stuart Frankel & Co., Inc., a family-owned firm founded in 1973, which is recognized as one of the oldest independent brokers at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Andrew Frankel Relationship
Bridget Moynahan has long been private about her personal life, but her relationship with Andrew Frankel has been occasionally shared through glimpses on social media and rare interviews. Mutual friends first introduced them, and the couple began dating sometime after Moynahan’s split from Tom Brady.
While it is unclear exactly when Frankel and Moynahan met, their relationship reached a significant milestone in April 2015 when Frankel proposed to Moynahan during a romantic getaway in Puerto Rico. The proposal was thoughtful and sentimental, with Frankel presenting her with a vintage estate engagement ring from Fred Leighton. According to Bridget’s stylist, Basia Zamorska, the diamond in the ring was set east-west, which was something the actress had always wanted.
Andrew Frankel Marriage
On October 17, 2015, Moynahan and Frankel tied the knot in a secret ceremony at Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, New York. The couple had invited their closest friends and family under the guise of a “harvest moon ceremony.” Little did the guests know that they were about to witness the couple’s wedding.
The wedding had a cozy, rustic theme, which was perfect for the vineyard setting. The celebration was intimate, with only their closest friends and family in attendance. Moynahan later shared the news on Instagram with a photo of her and Frankel walking through the vineyard, captioning it, “Oh, by the way, guess what I just did,” along with the hashtags #sohappy, #perfection, #friends, #family, and #forever.
Although Moynahan is known for keeping her personal life private, she has occasionally shared rare glimpses of her relationship with Frankel. In an October 2021 interview with Glamour, Moynahan spoke candidly about “finding love in your 40s” and praised Frankel for being a genuine and kind partner. She reflected on how her previous relationships with people in the entertainment industry were often complicated by pretension and drama, and she appreciated how grounded Andrew Frankel was in comparison.
This sense of security and partnership has been a game-changer for Moynahan, who, as she has said, didn’t fully understand the meaning of a true partnership in her younger years. Frankel’s thoughtfulness as a husband was demonstrated during the couple’s eighth wedding anniversary in October 2023. Moynahan took to Instagram to share a heartfelt card that Frankel had given her, which read, “To the woman I’m so glad I married.” Moynahan gushed over the sentiment, captioning her post, “Marry a man that sends you cards like this on your anniversary.”
Bridget Moynahan Relationship with Tom Brady
Before marrying Frankel, Moynahan was in a high-profile relationship with Tom Brady, the NFL superstar. The two dated from 2004 to 2006 and welcomed a son, Jack Brady, in 2007, a few months after their split. The couple’s breakup and the subsequent discovery of Moynahan’s pregnancy garnered significant media attention at the time, placing Moynahan in an uncomfortable spotlight.
In a 2017 interview, Moynahan opened up about how the media attention surrounding her breakup and pregnancy affected her. “I had a public breakup and then I was pregnant and then I had a baby. And those moments were kind of stolen from me by the paparazzi, the tabloids, whatever,” she said.
Moynahan and Brady have successfully co-parented their son, Jack, and the actress has consistently kept her personal life private, focusing on raising Jack away from the media. Despite their public split, both Moynahan and Brady have moved on to other relationships, with Moynahan finding love again with Andrew Frankel.
