Gisele Bundchen reveals impact being stepmom to Tom Brady's son Jack had on her
For Gisele Bundchen, being with legendary quarterback Tom Brady gave her a different perspective on motherhood.
Due to Brady's previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan, the quarterback was expecting a child as his relationship with Bundchen began. For some, that's a dealbreaker. But for Gisele, it gave her a chance to see what being a parent could be like.
Bunchen spoke with People.com and revealed that being a stepmom to Brady's son Jack gave her an awakening that revealed something hidden deep down. She wanted to be a mother herself.
Bunchen said:
"Jack came into our lives and I felt so blessed, and it kind of awakened in me this desire of being a mom. I've always dreamed of being a mom, but I think that happened a little faster than I thought, because now I have this beautiful little angel that I get to care for and love."
Having a stepson in Jack pushed Bunchen's desire to be a mom forward rather quickly. This resulted in her and Brady welcoming two children into the world during their relationship: Benjamin, who is now 13, and daughter Vivian, who is 10.
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady called it quits after 13 years
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady called it quits on their marriage in 2022 and it was highly publicized. The pair had reported bust-ups over the quarterback's decision to un-retire at the end of the 2021 season.
We could see last year that Brady simply wasn't "all in" for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as his off-field issues were clearly affecting him.
It is rather sad that football essentially ended the pair's relationship, but they say change is as good as a holiday and both seem to be doing rather well now.
Gisele Bundchen is doing her own thing now and Brady is getting quality time with his children as it seems like a win-win for both parties.
