NEW YORK (AP) - Tom Brady is happy about becoming a father.

"Tom and his family are excited about the pregnancy, and want to thank everyone who has shown support, and particularly for their consideration of Tom's privacy," Brady's agent, Don Yee, told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

It was the first comment from Brady's camp since it was disclosed that actress Bridget Moynahan, the former girlfriend of New England's three-time Super Bowl winning quarterback, is three months pregnant. Her publicist, Christina Papadopoulous, disclosed the pregnancy Monday and said Brady is the father.

Brady and Moynahan split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady, a two-time Super Bowl MVP, has since been seen with lingerie model Gisele Bundchen, and media outlets have reported the two are dating.

Moynahan, 35, has appeared in films such as Coyote Ugly, I, Robot and the ABC television series Six Degrees. Brady, 29, led the Patriots to three NFL titles, and twice was the Super Bowl MVP.

He was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2002.
