Despite their public separation in 2022, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen build themselves an empire over the years. Throughout their marriage, the two mammoths in their respective fields proved to the world that love and mutual respect can make any tall task achievable. While many consider Tom Brady to be the NFL GOAT, we also have to acknowledge Bündchen’s continued support and the sacrifices she’s made over their years of togetherness. However, there is one thing that separates them from each other. What is that, as per the supermodel, let’s see!

Bündchen recalled many of her early experiences in her 2018 memoir, Lessons: My Path To A Meaningful Life, and even admitted to picking up some of her husband’s skills. Despite their shared values, Bündchen and Brady had their innate differences and the two complemented each other perfectly.

Gisele Bündchen has all the respect for her ex-husband

Tom Brady has had many running mates throughout his illustrious NFL career, but none of them were as impactful as his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen. Turns out, TB12 is not only dependable on the field but away from it as well. His calming presence and the stable foundation he provided helped Gisele in creating a home for the two.

Speaking on the dynamic they shared, Gisele said, “I was fortunate to find a man calmer than he is stormy.”

Bündchen was particularly appreciative of Brady’s calm exterior as she had not experienced this in any of her past relationships.

Bundchen added, “We also complement each other. Our values are similar. We’re both disciplined in our daily routines and habits. We’re both committed to good health and good nutrition (though I’ll eat a cookie if I want one, and Tom usually won’t).”

However, occasionally, indulging in a cookie wasn’t the only crucial difference between Brady and his ex-wife.

“My husband is rational, analytical, and a man of few words. I’m emotional, intuitive, changeable, and a woman of many words. I’ve learned a lot from Tom,” she added in her book.

Bündchen experienced this firsthand as one of her kids dislocated his elbow, and while the supermodel found herself in a frantic state of mind, it was Brady who stepped up and took control of the situation.

The beginning of the end

Back in 2022, several media outlets reported that Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s relationship had hit a rough patch and the couple was looking to part ways.

Sources reported, “There’s been trouble in the marriage over his decision to un-retire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed he would retire to focus on the family, then he changed his mind.”

While both Brady and Bündchen refuted these claims, a certain excerpt from her memoir demands attention.

“I like to believe that Tom’s stability and steadiness give me the space and the freedom I need to fly and that the little bird inside me knows-and Tom likes to remind me-that she’s held tightly to a slender, invisible string he keeps deep in one of his pockets.”
