In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, supermodel Gisele Bündchen opened up about her divorce from NFL superstar Tom Brady. The interview, which was filled with raw emotions and juicy revelations, shed light on the dissolution of their marriage and the media frenzy that consumed it.
Bündchen described the end of her marriage as “like a death and a rebirth,” saying that it felt like “the death of my dream.” She said that she “did everything” to keep her life going “a certain way” but could only get so far.
Bündchen and Brady were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend in their 20s. Soon after they started dating, Brady learned that his ex, actor Bridget Moynahan, was pregnant with his son Jack. Despite this, Bündchen and Brady went on to get married and have two children together. After nearly 13 years of marriage, plenty of on-field Super Bowl celebrations, and joint red-carpet appearances, the couple finally called it quits with an announcement in October that they had finalized their divorce and would focus on co-parenting.
Bündchen set the record straight on media narratives that their marriage fell apart when Brady rescinded his retirement just 40 days after announcing it. Instead, she alluded to a gradual drifting where they seemed to grow apart and “just wanted different things.” Currently, Bündchen lives in Costa Rica, far from the tabloid drama surrounding her and ex-husband Tom Brady. Despite the challenges of their split, the supermodel remains positive and committed to co-parenting their children.
