“Being a mother was a lot more work than modeling”: Gisele Bündchen Confesses Her Real Feelings in Memoir That Pushed Her to Leave Tom Brady After 13 Years of Fairytale Marriage
Gisele Bündchen’s memoir Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life detail how her life lessons have helped her live a more conscious and joyful life, enabled her to overcome challenges she has faced, and given her a deeper understanding of the world. The memoir was initially published in 2018, and the model wrote about her true learnings and feelings.
There are ups and downs for Gisele Bündchen, like every other mom. The 42-year-old supermodel and mother of two opened up about her struggles after giving birth. She confessed to losing herself as a mother and having to learn how to adjust her life as a mom in her memoir.
When the former NFL power couple, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, tied the knot in 2009, everything seemed like a fairytale. However, after thirteen years of marriage, things took a turn for the worse. Their wedding was dissolved late last month, and they announced their split on separate social media posts.
Gisele Bündchen Opened Up About Her Feelings In Her Memoir
The most important thing that Gisele Bündchen had to sacrifice to support her marriage with Tom Brady is revealed in her New York Times best-selling memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.
She wrote,
“Tom and I wanted to make our marriage work. So what I’d worked so hard to achieve, the thing I’d done since the age of fourteen, had to take a backseat. It wasn’t a completely smooth transition.”
There was no limit to where the top Brazilian model could work and go. However, this lifestyle could not be continued after the birth of her children. Brady and Bündchen welcomed their first child, Benjamin, 12, in 2009 and their second child, Vivian, 9, in 2012. She also became a stepmother to Brady’s 11-year-old son Jack, from her previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
She explained,
“When I became a mom, I kind of lost myself. It was like a part of me died. I’d been this very independent person. It was all about me. But now I had this little being, and I suddenly felt l couldn’t do other things, which was very hard for me.”
“All I ever wanted was to be a mom, but it’s a shock when you’re experiencing that. I quickly learned that being a mother was a lot more work than modeling.”
In her early years, Bündchen began working in the fashion industry. Since then, she has achieved unimaginable success and has become one of the most popular personalities in the world. As a result, she found it challenging to transform into a new mother while leaving her legacy behind.
Amidst playing away games and remaining busy throughout the NFL season, Brady couldn’t take care of the family as much as Bündchen did. Their separation is said to be mainly due to that, as Bündchen prioritized motherhood and her family over everything else.
A Possible Reunion Between Tom Brady And Gisele Bundchen
This was the Tom Brady‘s third Thanksgiving as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer player. Unfortunately, it was also his first Thanksgiving as a divorced man since 2009, since his separation from the Brazilian model a few weeks ago. However, the quarterback’s latest remarks could be interpreted as a potential reunion for the famous pair.
On the Let’s Go! Podcast with host Jim Gray and guest Charles Barkley, the seven-time Super Bowl winner talked about his Thanksgiving plans, and while he wasn’t specific, he said he doesn’t want to spend the holiday alone.
Brady said,
“I think of myself as a parent and being thankful during Thanksgiving; it’s always time for family. When you think about this holiday and the commitment that parents make and that my parents made to me, my career is unbelievable.”
Furthermore, he continued,
“Obviously, with a lot of gratitude for the people that have made such a huge impact in my life and supported me throughout this amazing career. I just want to be that for my kids. You know, I just wanna be the best dad I could be.”
Thanksgiving was this Thursday in the United States, so maybe we’ll find out, or maybe we won’t, but perhaps this day could mark the reunion of Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen after several months of not seeing each other. However, both did not reveal anything whether the reunion really happened.
On the other hand, Brady posted a Thanksgiving video on his Instagram yesterday, captioned, “Happy Thanksgiving from our @tb12sports family,” which made us smile.
