Gisele Bündchen and NFL legend Tom Brady were in a relationship for around 15 years and were married for around 13 years. Throughout their marriage, they were the epitome of an ideal couple. However, in a shocking move, the couple filed for divorce in October 2022. While the rumors about their falling out started as soon as Brady broke his retirement, their official announcement still caught a lot of people off-guard.
In 2018, Gisele wrote a book, “Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.” The book was a New York Times bestseller and Gisele donated the revenue from the sales to various charities. However, after their divorce, an interesting excerpt from the book resurfaced. Before meeting Bündchen, Tom was dating Hollywood actress Bridget Moynahan. Although the couple broke up in 2006, Moynahan became pregnant with Tom’s child later.
Gisele, who first went out with Tom for the first time in December 2006, found out the news just two months into their relationship. Naturally, the news came as a big shock to the Brazilian supermodel. E! News published an excerpt from Bündchen’s 2018, which gave the fans a clearer picture of what she went through during the pregnancy. The 42-year-old implied that she was dumbfounded when Tom broke the news to her.
She wrote, “I felt my world had been turned upside down. Needless to say, that wasn’t an easy time. But it was a time that brought about so much growth.” (h/t via MSN)
Despite the initial shock, Gisele soon made her mind up that she would stick by the 7-time Super Bowl winner and make Brady’s eldest son a part of her life. She also wanted to have a family of her own as well after Jack’s birth. She claimed, “With Jack in our lives, our priorities definitely started to shift… I wanted to be there for Jack and Tom, and do whatever I could to create stability in their lives, and help them to have a close relationship.”
As Jack, full name John Edward Howard Moynahan, grew up, he was very much a part of the Brady-Bündchen household. Even after their divorce, Gisele liked an Instagram post from Brady which featured Jack practicing football drills with his father. It just proves that Gisele always loved Jack just like her own son.
How many children do Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have?
Jack was born on August 2007 and just under 2 years later on 26 February 2009, Tom Brady tied the knot with Gisele Bündchen. The following year, on December 8, 2009, Gisele had her first child, Benjamin, with Tom. Their second child, Vivian, was born on December 5, 2012. Fans often caught a glimpse of all three of Tom’s children, celebrating their father’s accolades with him.
In their respective statements after the divorce, both Tom and Gisele promised to be ideal parents for their children. After the couple parted ways, fans often spotted Jack in his father’s Instagram posts. Benjamin and Vivian, on the other hand, went for a vacation with their mother, accompanied by her rumored new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
