Actress Bridget Moynahan has been keeping an unusually low profile since giving birth, but she finally broke her silence in an interview for the July issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

After her split from New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and her decision to have his baby post-breakup, the actress hasn't shared too many details about her single-mom life, until now.

The 37-year-old "I, Robot" star recalled how she really felt about being pregnant alone while her ex was dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

"I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom," Moynahan told the mag.

"When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you're in your 30s, it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this. For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family," she explained.

Moynahan and Brady called it quits two months before she announced her pregnancy last February, after having dated for three years. She found out she was pregnant just weeks after the two decided to go their separate ways. In August last year, she gave birth to the former couple's first child, John Edward Thomas Moynahan - whom she now calls Jack, and after returning home from the hospital, the actress said all she did was cry.

"For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family. All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It's frightening," Moynahan recalled, but in the end it's all worth it, "It's golden and it's tough and it was f—-ed up. But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world."

In fact, Moynahan says, she’s loving motherhood so much, she’d love to have a little brother or sister for Jack. But this time, she hopes, there will be a hubby in the picture.

"I think it’s important to have a strong male figure in my son’s life," she said, "and I want something equal to that in my life, as a partner, a lover, a friend. But I’d rather be alone than with somebody who doesn’t work. I don’t need that, and my son doesn’t need that."

However, even though she was asked how she feels about the father of her child, Moynahan refused to comment claiming there is no reason why her son "would need to read anything [personal] about his mother or his father," years from now.
