BOSTON (AP) - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's newborn son is a JET.

A publicist for actress Bridget Moynahan on Tuesday announced the name of the son she had with her ex-boyfriend - John Edward Thomas Moynahan - and revealed Brady did make it in time to Los Angeles to be with her for the child's arrival.

"Bridget is very thankful for a happy baby, excited about being a mother, and very pleased that the father, Tom Brady, was able to be there for the birth," publicist Gary Mantoosh said.

Mantoosh refused to release any other details, including the size of the baby or whether the Thomas in his name was in honor of his father.

"Both mother and baby are at home, happy and healthy," he said.

Brady flew to California last Wednesday for the birth and returned to his team a couple days later for a preseason game.

Moynahan and Brady split up late last year after a three-year relationship. Brady has been dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Moynahan, 36, is a former model who has starred in such films as "Coyote Ugly," "I, Robot" and "The Sum of All Fears." Her television credits include "Sex and the City" and the ABC series "Six Degrees." She grew up in Longmeadow, Mass.

Brady, 30, has led the Patriots to three NFL titles and is a two-time Super Bowl MVP. New England opens its regular season against the rival New York Jets on Sept. 8.
