Gisele Bundchen is 'grateful for every lesson' after divorce
Gisele Bundchen is "grateful" for the lessons she's learned since her divorce from Tom Brady.
Gisele Bundchen is "grateful" for the lessons she's learned from her divorce.
The 43-year-old model would never have "wished for" her marriage to Tom Brady to end in October 2022 but she feels "blessed" because of the "incredible" experiences they had together and the fact they have their children Benjamin, 14, and 11-year-old Vivian.
Speaking to Robin Roberts on her 'Impact x Nightline' special, she said: "It's definitely a time of, you know, a transition that had to take place, and it's not something that you — I don't think you wish for that, you know?
"But I think sometimes in life things happen. I feel so blessed because, like, I wouldn't change anything in my life. I had incredible experiences. I learned so much. I have my children, which are the biggest blessings in my life.
“And now I get to create — it's a new season, a new chapter in my life, and I get to learn new things, and I get to walk my path in a different way, you know? And I'm grateful for all of it. I'm grateful for every lesson."
While Gisele believes it is "natural" for her and Tom - who also has 16-year-old Jack from a previous relationship - to have different house rules for their children, she's adjusted to coparenting and thinks there are positives for the kids.
She said: "There's easier days than others, but I think the kids—they're super smart children.
"They know what they can get away with.
"I can only control what I do...
"Now's really about the balance. Tom has time with them and I have time with them, which I think is amazing.
"They get to learn from two different worlds and that's wonderful for them."
While Gisele is rumoured to be dating Joaquim Valente, she stayed tight-lipped about her romance with the martial arts instructor, though confirmed she is "open" to another relationship.
Asked if she would be “able to open up her heart again to someone,” she smiled and said: “Right now, really my priority is my kids and creating this beautiful sanctuary for my family, but then yes, why not?
“Life is full of surprises. I don’t have a crystal ball that says what will happen tomorrow, but yes.”
