Co-Parenting and Gratitude
Together, Bündchen and Brady are parents to Benjamin (13) and Vivian (10). Brady is also the father of Jack (16), his child with Bridget Moynahan. Despite the divorce, Bündchen emphasized her gratitude for Brady’s role as the father of her children. She conveyed her well wishes for him, acknowledging the bond they share as co-parents.
He’s the father of my kids. So, I always wish him the best. I’m so grateful that he gave me wonderful children, and I think you know, when a door shuts, other doors open.
Bündchen and Brady publicly announced their “amicable” separation in October 2022. In a joint statement, Gisele said, “The decision to end a marriage is never easy, but we have grown apart.” The couple’s decision to part ways was a mutual one, reflecting their evolving life paths.
Prioritizing Motherhood
Before their separation, Bündchen made the choice to step back from her modeling career to focus on raising their children while Brady pursued his professional endeavors. She expressed no regrets about her decision, cherishing the precious moments she spent with her kids during their formative years.
I was there to take my kids to school every day. Make them breakfast and take them to school in the morning. What a gift, they grow up so fast.
Bündchen shared her perspective on her current life chapter, emphasizing her newfound authenticity. After years in the fashion industry and dealing with significant anxiety, she now feels like she’s truly living life on her terms
I’m in a different place in my life. I’m able to choose more of what I want. Before I was more surviving, and now I’m living; it’s different.
Reflecting on her journey, both the highs and lows, Bündchen expressed contentment with her life choices. She asserted that she wouldn’t change anything, even if given the opportunity to alter her past.
I look into my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t have any other life. I wouldn’t have done it. If they say, ‘Can you change something in your life?’ I wouldn’t change absolutely anything.
