Peanut butter and jelly, Tom and Jerry, pen and paper; all perfect pairings. And for 13 years, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady seemed like they were, too. The supermodel and the legendary NFL quarterback were once Hollywood’s “it” couple, despite their rocky start. After all, it’s not every day you discover your new boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend is expecting a baby just two months into your relationship, as was the case with Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan.
Despite their initial hardships, Gisele decided to commit to Tom and their unusual situation. She confessed that her heart expanded “in ways I didn’t know was possible” when she became a stepmom to Moynahan’s son, Jack (per E! News). Then, just months after they tied the knot, they welcomed their own son Benjamin into the world in 2009, followed by their daughter Vivian in 2012.
And while rumors of their struggling relationship circulated in September 2022, confirmation of their divorce in October still came as a tough blow to fans who had fallen in love with their whole family.
However, now the dust has settled on their divorce and the papers have been finalized, it seems as if the former “it” couple is now focusing their attention on co-parenting. Both parties have said that their children will continue to receive the “love and attention they deserve,” according to People, but it seems their kids will also have to follow some strict (and somewhat unusual) rules.
It should come as no surprise to learn that Gisele Bündchen is a busy lady. The former Victoria’s Secret model is constantly on the go, but she credits her meditation practice for allowing her to juggle it all. She told People, “Meditation provides me space to rebalance and refocus when things are at their busiest.” And it seems she wants her children to appreciate the art of slowing down, too.
