Gisele Bündchen demonstrated what it means to be a supermodel during her profession and what it means to be a fantastic mom in her personal life. One of her three children was conceived during her husband’s first marriage. She still loved him as if he were her own despite everything. Because she doesn’t consider herself to be his stepmother but rather just another person who can provide him with a mother’s love, she even came up with the phrase “bonus mom.”
She was one of the most well-known supermodels of the 2000s, and the fashion world is still familiar with her name. However, the Brazilian model’s life was not all about the catwalks and stardom; she also found love with American football player Tom Brady, with whom she later had a family.
In the first two months of their relationship, which began in 2006, everything seemed perfect: “Tom told me that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant. The following day, the news was all over the place, and she said in her memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, “I felt like my world had been turned upside down.
John “Jack” Edward Thomas’s birth changed everything, despite the fact that she had not anticipated it and that it had been a difficult time for her. “It made my heart expand in ways I didn’t know were possible,” she said, as she fell in love with the young child who taught her how to be a mother despite not being his biological mother. She would continue to support her partner in raising the son out of pure love going forward.
After being married two years later, their family increased with the birth of Benjamin, their first child, and later Vivian, the youngest member of the family.
The children get along well together despite being a blended family, and Benjamin’s big brother is his hero: “For Benjamin, his big brother is his hero. When Jack enters, Benjamin is grinning widely. He wants to be his follower,” she remarked in reference to them.
She wanted a large family because of the sibling bond between her children: “I would like a huge family. I adore kids. When you come from a large family, you can observe how sharing becomes second nature as you age. You feel secure because of your family, and that security is ingrained in you. Given that I have such strong roots, I feel as though I can soar. You get married in order to establish such roots together and pass them on to your children. She admitted, “I would also love to adopt a child from Brazil.
Despite not being his biological mother, she has loved Jake as her own since the beginning. She once said, “I understand that he has a mother and I respect that, but for me, it’s not that because someone else gave birth to him, that he is not my son. I adore him just as much as if he were my own child. Since day one, I’ve felt like he’s my son, she said.
She likes the name “bonus mom” instead of “stepmother” since she doesn’t like the word “stepmother”: “I appreciate the term “bonus mom,” since I consider it to be a blessing in my life. I consider myself really fortunate to have such a great little angel in my life, the woman stated.
Two mothers, dual love
They get along well and have always shared parenting responsibilities with Bridget Moynahan, who is Jack’s biological mother: “Tom and I made the decision to raise a child together, and we both found partners who not only supported us in raising that child but also love our son as if he were their own. You can’t ask for anything more, in my opinion. She said, “My boy is surrounded by affection.
Even the actress’s spouse and the model wished her a happy Mother’s Day via Instagram the previous year.
The five of them, as she demonstrates on Instagram, share their happy moments while doing simple things like cooking, practicing yoga, attending their father’s sports, and taking risks while traveling.
Additionally, they have a beach property in Costa Rica where they go every February to celebrate the couple’s anniversary as well as to unplug from the outside world and spend time with their family. “Tom and Gisele have never been more in love. They consider themselves to be each other’s best friends, partners, and biggest supporters. They are a very tight family unit. They’ve built the ideal life together, a dependable source claimed.
