Gisele Bündchen on Life After Tom Brady: Tears, Teamwork & the Art of Co-Parenting

At São Paulo Fashion Week on April 15, 2015, supermodel Gisele Bündchen dazzled the runway in Colcci’s summer looks ✨. Miles away and years later, Tom Brady stood on the NFL sideline in New Orleans on Sept 18, 2021, gearing up for a Buccaneers-Saints clash 🏟️. The former power couple quietly finalized their divorce in 2024, closing one chapter and opening another for their family 📜.

Now, in a heartfelt Hulu special—“IMPACT x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen 🌄 Climbing the Mountain”—the Brazilian icon sits down with ABC’s Robin Roberts to talk love, life, and co-parenting 🎤. When Roberts gently asks, “How are you, really?” Gisele’s eyes fill with tears 😢; she turns away, breathes deeply, and regains her composure before answering.

Asked about sharing parenting duties with the former Patriots quarterback, Gisele admits, “Some days flow easier than others 🙂.” She adds that kids quickly pick up on each household’s rhythms and will test boundaries 🧩—making her job “to set the best example I can.”

Balance is her mantra ⚖️. With both parents carving out quality time, the children gain “two windows on the world,” learning different routines, values, and lifestyles that enrich their growth 🌱.

Looking back on the split, Gisele calls it “an intensely challenging season” for everyone involved ⛈️. Yet she believes genuine love remains, even when paths diverge. “The goal,” she says, “is to walk beside a partner whose journey aligns with your own—hand in hand through every twist in the road.” 💕
