“Words in Front of Me Felt Honest and Intense”: Gisele Bündchen Once Burned Down Her Emotions to Save Her Relationship With Ex-husband Tom Brady

When NFL GOAT Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen split, it left the NFL world in tears. Both Brady and Bündchen were considered to be the fairytale couple. But things are not always as they seem. After their divorce last year in October, they embarked on two different personal journeys in life. Brady is taking forward his post-retirement life while spending time with his children. He is also keeping in touch with his love for sports by making investments in different areas, such as the WNBA team, the Las Vegas Aces, and the HERTZ-sponsored JOTA Sports car team. On the other hand, Bündchen is making a comeback with her career, after dedicating most of her time caring for her family.  

In her book ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life’, Gisele Bündchen wrote about the time when she introspected and penned down her emotions before setting the letter on fire in order to save her marriage with her ex-husband.

Gisele Bündchen was open about her emotional needs with Brady

In her book, the Brazilian model talks about how she prefers to write down her thoughts and emotions before relaying them to other people. She said that she had written what she wanted to convey to TB12 beforehand. But then she decided to not convey her raw emotions to her ex-husband, as she felt her woes got challenged, so she burned the paper where she wrote the letter and it as if magically it did not possess a heavy burden on her anymore.

She said, “The words in front of me felt honest and intense- crazy intense, actually. Just writing them down made me feel a hundred times better. In the end, I never sent the letter. I let a day go by. Then I read what I’d written a few more times. That night, I rolled up the letter and burned it.”

She then further went on to write about how she conveyed to Brady about being wanted to have a relationship based on love and respect and was ready to talk to him when he was ready to approach her in a ‘loving and respectful way’. Even after their divorce, Bündchen has nothing but respect and love for Brady, as she wants him to accomplish all of his dreams.

There is no hard feeling between Brady and Bündchen even after the divorce

While talking about her divorce during an interview with Vanity Fair, Gisele Bündchen said that she still has the same amount of love and respect for her ex-husband as she did during their marriage. She wanted ‘all of his dreams to come true .’ The couple has shown maturity in the way they have handled their separation from each other after almost 13 years of marriage. Both Brady and Bundchen are working to co-parent their wonderful children, as they want to provide the best for their future and growth. 

While the duo continues to navigate through their own personal lives, one might ponder over what lies ahead in the future for the former couple.
