Brazilian fashion model, Gisele Bündchen has finally opened up for the first time about her divorce from her former partner, Tom Brady, a football quarterback. Their divorce was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of their marriage.

Gisele Bündchen cleared all rumors surrounding her separation from Tom, 45, as ‘very hurtful’ during an interview with Vanity Fair. She said:

“Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever,’ she said. ‘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. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”

She further added:

“I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it’s beautiful to believe in that. I mean, I’m so grateful I did. You give everything you got to achieve your dream. You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t end up the way you hoped for, and worked for, but you can only do your part.”

There were many speculations about their divorce, many thought their marriage ended because of Tom’s decision to retire. She denied all those speculations saying:

“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. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”

On 1st February 2022 when Brady announced his retirement mentioning it “for good,”, Gisele Bündchen even wrote a comment on his post publicly saying:

“Wishing you only wonderful things in this new chapter of your life.”

Gisele and Tom met for the first time in 2006 and thoroughly fell in love. They tied the wedding knot in 2009. They shared two children together Vivian and Benjamin. Their marriage did not work so they decided to spilt. They released a statement on 28th October 2022 saying:

“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”

Recalling these things, Gisele said:

“When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.”

“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.”

She continued:

“When you love someone, you don’t put them in a jail and say, ‘You have to live this life.’ You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly the same direction, then that’s amazing. We’re not playing against each other. We are a team… and that’s beautiful. I look back and I have no regrets. I loved every bit of it.”
