For years, the romance between supermodel Gisele Bündchen and NFL icon Tom Brady was the stuff of fairy tales, captivating fans worldwide. Their 2022 divorce, however, sent shockwaves through their fanbase, marking the end of a power couple era. Now, as Bündchen embarks on a new chapter with her second marriage, she has chosen to speak openly about the enduring place her ex-husband holds in her heart.
"I Want All His Dreams to Come True": Gisele's Heartfelt Admission
In a revealing conversation with Vanity Fair in March 2023, the Brazilian supermodel did not hold back her feelings for Tom Brady. She expressed a profound and unwavering support for the football legend, despite their paths diverging.
"Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever," Bündchen stated. "If there's one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it's him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer." She emphasized her genuine wishes for his well-being, adding, "I want all his dreams to come true. That's what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart."
The Dance of a Relationship: Why They Parted Ways
Bündchen also reflected on the origins and eventual dissolution of their union. The couple met when she was 26 years old and he was 29, united by shared goals. "We wanted a family, we wanted things together," she recalled. However, as time passed, their visions for the future began to differ.
"As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make," the former Victoria's Secret angel explained. She poignantly noted that love isn't always enough to sustain a marriage. "That doesn't mean you don't love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It's a dance. It's a balance…"
New Beginnings and a Quiet Ex-Husband
While Gisele Bündchen has been vocal about her emotions post-divorce, Tom Brady has maintained a notably private stance. The two have not been seen together publicly since their high-profile split, though they both reside in Miami, likely to co-parent their children effectively.
The supermodel has since moved on, tying the knot with her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. As she starts this new life, fans and observers are left wondering what the next step will be for the retired NFL quarterback in his personal life. The contrast between Bündchen's public openness and Brady's silence continues to define the post-divorce narrative of one of the world's most watched former couples.
