Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen (Getty Images)Gisele Bündchen’s divorce from Tom Brady is no longer breaking news, but a deeply emotional 2024 interview still offers a revealing look at what the supermodel went through after their marriage ended. During a conversation with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, Bündchen struggled to hold back tears while reflecting on the end of a 13-year marriage, her children and the new chapter she was trying to build.Gisele Bündchen opens up about Tom Brady divorceThe interview, released in March 2024 as part of “IMPACT x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain,” came more than a year after Bündchen and Brady finalized their divorce in October 2022.Their split ended a relationship that had lasted 16 years and a marriage that had lasted 13. By the time Bündchen sat down with Roberts, however, she was trying to understand the experience as part of a larger personal transition rather than simply an ending.Roberts reminded her that she had previously described the divorce as “the death of a dream.” The comment immediately struck an emotional chord.“Well, when you say ...” the model began, before pausing and getting teary. “Sorry, guys, I didn't know ... can I have a little moment?”After collecting herself, Bündchen spoke about accepting a future she had never expected to have.“It's definitely a time of, you know, a transition that had to take place, and it's not something that you — I don't think you wish for that, you know?” she said. “But I think sometimes in life things happen. I feel so blessed because, like, I wouldn't change anything in my life. I had incredible experiences. I learned so much. I have my children, which are the biggest blessings in my life.“And now I get to create — it's a new season, a new chapter in my life, and I get to learn new things, and I get to walk my path in a different way, you know?“And I'm grateful for all of it. I'm grateful for every lesson.”Her words showed that the divorce was not something she viewed in simple terms. There was pain, but there was also gratitude for the years she shared with Brady and the family they created.Gisele Bündchen focuses on her children after divorceBündchen and Brady share two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Brady also has a son, Jack, with actress Bridget Moynahan. For Bündchen, co-parenting meant accepting that the children would grow up moving between two different households and sets of rules.“There's easier days than others. But it's amazing that the kids — they're super smart children,” Bündchen said, laughing. “They know what they can get away with. So I think it's natural that it has different rules, and kids just adapt and they're going to try to do what they want. And I can only control what I do.”She also emphasized the value of her children having relationships with both parents.“It's amazing that they get to spend time with both parents because it's more enriching for their lives, two different worlds, and they get to learn from two different worlds.”Bündchen spoke warmly about Brady’s oldest son, Jack, whom she helped raise during her years with the former NFL star.“I raised him. I love him,” she said.Looking ahead, Bündchen said she wanted to live according to her own values rather than public expectations.“I'm very committed to living my truth more than ever, so I would say that's where my heart is now, where I am right now. I'm living my truth and I'm not apologizing for it,” she explained.The 2024 interview remains significant because it captured Bündchen at a vulnerable point in her life. She was not simply discussing a famous divorce. She was describing the difficult process of accepting change, protecting her children and finding an identity beyond a marriage that had once shaped so much of her public life.
