“I Was Literally Killing Myself”: Tom Brady’s Millionaire Ex-wife Gisele Bündchen Recalled a Time When She Was ‘Poisoning Her Body’

Nobody knows how deeply somebody can get affected by the stress of life and work. Gisele Bündchen has been no different. She became a center of attraction since her divorce from Tom Brady. It was a strenuous few months for the quarterback’s family. But it all came down to the NFL‘s power couple splitting up. Tom Brady was a workaholic and was putting it all on the line for a successful season. Similarly, his ex-wife also dealt with some serious issues in her prime, which led to her having negative thoughts. She opened up all about it in her memoir earlier. 

Before she got focused on her family, Gisele Bündchen was among the biggest runway heartthrobs. She had a stellar modeling career and was among the highest-paid models. But there was a time when her profession became overwhelming, as she had to do multiple shows on the same day at a relatively young age. How big a tole did that take on the supermodel? 

Did Gisele Bündchen’s work become troublesome?

The Brazilian supermodel explained in her memoir, ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life,’ to express how the process felt. “Looking back, I now see that I’d gone so numb I couldn’t see what was happening. I was literally killing myself. I was poisoning my body from the moment I woke up in the morning to the moment I crashed at night. I was also creating a ripe environment for developing an anxiety problem,” Gisele Bündchen wrote in her memoir. She definitely felt terrible at that phase of her life.

The supermodel added that as a nineteen-year-old, one might cope with functioning 350 days per year. However, by the age of twenty-three and after years of running in high gear, the body, brain, and spirit fail. But Gisele was doing her best to cope with the complexities of her existence.

It was Valentine’s Day on February 14th, and Brady had some appreciation for someone he loves. As per Fox News, on a special day, the retired quarterback took to Instagram Stories and began with a quote from Sadhguru. After that, he shared some adorable images of his kids, Jack, Vivian, and Benjamin, with sweet captions.

On the contrary, Gisele Bündchen posted some pictures featuring her and her dogs, Lua and Fluffy. She dedicated her post to them, as she called her dogs, “Angels on Earth.”

Brady and Bündchen may have their backs. But watching the NFL’s favorite couple fall apart breaks my heart.
