Gisele Bundchen reflects on her and her husband’s “heartbreak” a year later, Tom Brady, they finalized their divorce. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, 43, took to Instagram on November 18 to share a photo of herself sitting on the beach, basking in the sunlight.
“Everyone we meet has faced or is facing challenges in life that we know nothing about,” Gisele began in her caption. “We don’t see their quiet struggles, their fears, their obstacles, their heartbreaks, or their daily ups and downs. As we go about our daily routine, we may miss seeing someone who needs a simple, kind word or gesture. I believe that an act of kindness breeds more kindness, and this is what we need in the world today.”
Gisele and Tom, 46, announced that they had finalized their divorce after more than ten years of marriage. In October 2022, the former NFL star and Brazilian model shared similar social media statements, confirming that they had ended their marriage.
“In the past few days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from each other after 13 years of marriage,” Tom wrote via his Instagram Stories. “We reached this decision amicably and thankful for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and amazing children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to make sure they get the love and attention they deserve.”
At the time, the former couple’s separation divided fans as many believed that Tom’s retirement from professional football caused a rift between him and Gisele. Just months after returning to the league, the athlete officially retired.
Despite the speculation about their split, Gisele stopped rumors that she left Tom because of a career change. In an interview with Vanity Fair earlier this year, Gisele pointed out that false rumors “made me someone who is anti-football.”
“I used to joke that I could be a referee because I’ve seen so many games. And I loved it,” she said. “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest person in the world, it’s him, believe me. I want him to achieve and win. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes. you grow together; sometimes you grow apart.”
