Gisele Bundchen Talks in Detail About Her Marriage with Tom Brady

In a candid interview with CBS News Sunday Morning, Gisele Bundchen revealed the kind of emotional turmoil she faced during her marriage to NFL legend Tom Brady. Talking to Cowan, the supermodel said, “You know, I was in tunnels. I couldn’t breathe. And then I started being in studios, and I felt, like, suffocated.”

“I lived on the 9th floor, and I had to go up the stairs because I was afraid I would be stuck on the elevator, and I’d be hyperventilating. You know when you can’t breathe even when the windows are open, you feel like, I don’t want to live like this, you know what I mean?” Gisele added.

The statement by Gisele Bundchen gave a glimpse into the challenges she encountered during her high-profile relationship with Tom Brady. However, Bundchen, when asked about her present life, said, “I’m in a different place in my life. I’m able to choose more of what I want. I think before I was more surviving, and now I’m living, which is different.”

Gisele and Brady were tied in marriage for 13 years before calling it quits in 2022. While talking about her marriage to Vanity Fair in March this year, Gisele had candidly claimed, “Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart. When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.” Bunchen emphasized the importance of individuals evolving and pursuing their own paths, even if it means growing apart.
