Talk:Let's Go to the Firehouse (battybarney2014's version)/@comment-2604:2000:1343:C444:CCE9:C083:521E:A6B4-20190419214945/@comment-2604:2000:1343:C444:CCE9:C083:521E:A6B4-20190419214958

The 47-year-old actress opened up about that time in her life while speaking about her new book Our Shoes, Our Selves on the BUILD stage. The book, which she co-wrote with Amanda Benchley, dives into the personal narratives that a single pair of a woman’s shoes may represent and how they hold significance in their lives. When Moynahan spoke about her black Miu Miu boots that are featured in the book, she said that she was taken back to a very specific period of time when she decided, “I was gonna take a little bit of my life back.”

“I had a public breakup and then I was pregnant and then I had a baby,” she said, referencing her and Brady’s now 11-year-old son, John Edward Thomas Moynahan. “And those moments were kind of stolen from me by the paparazzi, the tabloids, whatever.”

Moynahan became a tabloid fixture at the time as a result of her 2007 pregnancy announcement, which came three months after she and Brady had already broken up and the football player had moved on with model Gisele Bündchen. Although Moynahan felt that she was being followed everywhere she went, it was one time in particular that led her to a pair of shoes, and a revelation.
