Bridget Moynahan on dating as a single mom, and more! 

Congrats!

The winner of the Babeland Bath Fizzies — “In what ways does motherhood make us better lovers?” — is Avigail. This single mama said that after getting divorced and turning 30, “something snapped.”

“I wanted to become a sexy mama—a mother who was not afraid to be a strong woman with healthy sexy values. I started liking myself, and thinking that I was actually attractive. I started to feel much more confident. I love looking in the mirror with my daughter and telling her that we’re two beautiful beings—I want to model for my daughter how to love oneself. I’m crossing my fingers that my daughter will really LOVE herself and appreciate who she is.”

The winner of Single Mom Seeking (”How has your sex life changed since having a kid?” is “The Exception,” who wrote that since becoming a single mom, it has been more challenging to “fully relax and get into the moment.”

She added that “trying to fit a few orgasms into an hour lunch period while listening for the phone and thinking about this or that…doesn’t really work well.” However, that doesn’t keep her from dreaming about “letting my drive go, losing myself in the moment and in the passion. I dream of having sex when and where I want it.”

Can I hear an “amen” for these women? Wow.

Be sure to check out the July issue of Harper’s Bazaar, a magazine that deserves a round of applause for profiling single mom celebrity Bridget Moynahan in a positive light.

The 37-year-old Massachusetts-raised model turned actress had dated New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady for three years, but their relationship ended when she was three months pregnant. (Brady soon hooked up with supermodel Gisele Bundchen.)

“Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me,” says Moynahan. “But I got so much out of that. It’s golden and it’s tough and it was f*cked up. But now I have a child, and it’s the best thing in the world.”

Her son, Jack, is almost 10 months old, and recently, Bridget started dating again. She says that being a single mom hasn’t hampered her romantic life.
 
“It’s brought higher-quality people into my life because whoever is going to be [with me] understands straight off the bat that it’s a package,” Moynahan explains. “If you just want to hang out and have some fun, there are a thousand other girls who are willing.”

Excluding those of you who’ve run into men who refuse to wear condoms… would you say that being a single parent has brought higher-quality people into your life, too?

I would — including all of you!
