Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen has embarked on a new chapter in her life, entering into her second marriage. This development comes roughly three years after her high-profile divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady. While their split was finalized in 2022, Bündchen has recently shared candid details about the early, tumultuous days of their relationship, revealing she nearly walked away before they even married.
The Early Challenge: Brady's Ex-Girlfriend's Pregnancy
In a revealing interview on CBS This Morning a few months ago, Gisele Bündchen revisited a painful period from the beginning of her romance with Tom Brady. She admitted that she seriously considered ending their relationship after learning that Brady's former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, was pregnant with his child.
"It was a challenging thing," Bündchen confessed. "Here I am, thinking I'm dating this guy, we met, we started dating and everything is great, and then this happens." The news left her feeling lost and uncertain about the future of their budding relationship. She described it as a traumatic incident, asking herself, "Do I just run away?"
From Wedding Bells to Divorce Announcement
Despite this rocky start, Bündchen chose to stay. The couple eventually tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2009 and went on to welcome two children together. However, for years, their marriage was frequently the subject of intense media speculation, with constant rumours about impending divorce.
These rumours culminated in October 2022, when Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen officially announced their divorce, shocking fans around the world. The separation marked the end of one of the most watched partnerships in sports and entertainment.
Looking Forward: A New Season of Life
In 2024, speaking again to CBS, Gisele Bündchen reflected on her life post-divorce with a sense of optimism and growth. "I have [had] incredible experiences, I learned so much," she stated. She emphasized that her children remain the biggest blessing in her life.
Now, she is focused on the future. "I get to create a new season, a new chapter in my life. I get to walk my path in a different way," the former Victoria's Secret angel added. This new chapter includes her recent marriage to her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. While this new union has sparked considerable public discussion, Tom Brady has remained publicly distant from the matter, issuing no statements.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady continue to co-parent their two children together, prioritizing their family amidst the changes in their personal lives.
