Gisele Bündchen’s rise to fame in the late 1990s revolutionized the modeling world. Back then, the Brazilian beauty wasn’t just a stunning face with beach waves. She had that vibrant energy and grit that captivated many. Even after marrying NFL quarterback Tom Brady in 2009 and raising their children, Benjamin (14) and Vivian (11), her influence remained undeniable.

From 2002 to 2016, Gisele Bündchen reigned over the modeling world as Forbes’ highest-paid model. Despite her immense success, she chose to step away from the runway, signaling a new chapter in her life. Her 2022 divorce from Tom Brady, coinciding with his brief retirement, was a turning point. Rather than succumbing to the challenges, Gisele emerged stronger, defying retirement rumors and recommitting to her work more dynamically and effectively.

Bündchen exuded confidence while saying, “I will never stop working. My desire is to continue creating until the day I die. I love the creativity that exists within me, I want to learn new things.” She also hinted at exciting things, saying, “Life will show what the next ones will be, you’ll see.” Despite all the life changes, the ex-supermodel sounded excited about her new path and interests. She added, “As far as your rigor depends, success is already guaranteed.” The ex-supermodel may have left the runway, but she has a long and fulfilling journey ahead.
