After dating each for nearly three years, the couple got married in 2009 and gave birth to their first child Benjamin who is now 12. Three years later in December 2012, their daughter Vivian was born. While Brady was all into his professional football career, his wife made sure that she stays with the kids. And naturally, she tried imparting good thoughts, and being a strict mom when required.
While speaking in an interview back in 2020, the supermodel revealed the secrets of managing both her work life and family. Although she took a halt from her modeling career, Bündchen remained close to her roots and raised her kids.
“When necessary, I’m pretty tough; but mostly I’m melted butter,” Bündchen said in an interview with the outlet. “Benjamin had a phase that was more attached to me. Now, he is more with his father. Vivian has always been independent,” she added.
While it all seemed like a fairytale for fans from the outside world, Bündchen reiterated the same story several times. She said that it wasn’t easy. She explained being in sync with your partner, especially having kids, is quite complicated.

Even though Brady couldn’t spend time with his kids, his wife made sure that they never felt his absence. “She hasn’t worked much in the last 10, 12 years while raising our family and committing to a life in Boston and then moving to Florida,” Brady said in an interview last year.

Moreover, Brady explained the imbalances in his life and admitted to not fulfilling his Daddy duties for the kids. It was unlike his father, who always had his back. In fact, he was the source of inspiration for the quarterback pursuing football and making a career out of it.
