Gisele Bündchen is known for being private about her family life and marriage to husband Tom Brady. But with the release of her new memoir Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, the supermodel has opened up about the events of her life, from the boob job she regrets to having panic attacks during her career. She also wrote about her wedding with Tom and even delved into how she found out about his ex's pregnancy.
As E! News reports, Gisele wrote in her book that she met the NFL star on a blind date in December 2006 and they bonded over their mutual love of family. They both agreed to delay starting a family of their own as both of their careers were in "high gear" at the time.
However, two months into their relationship, Brady told her that actor and model Bridget Moynahan, his ex-girlfriend of two years, was pregnant with his baby.
"I felt my world had been turned upside down. Needless to say, that wasn't an easy time. But it was a time that brought about so much growth," Gisele wrote, although she never mentioned Bridget by name.
Jack, Tom and Bridget’s son, was born in August 2007, and Gisele called him "a huge gift and a blessing" and says that his arrival sped up her own family planning because they wanted Jack to have siblings closer to his age.
"With Jack in our lives, our priorities definitely started to shift," she wrote. "I wanted to be there for Jack and Tom and do whatever I could to create stability in their lives and help them to have a close relationship."
Gisele and Tom got married in April 2009 and welcomed son Benjamin in December that year. Their daughter Vivian was born in 2012. But adjusting to marriage, motherhood, and a new city was hard for her, and she said she felt "depressed" and "overwhelmed."
She eventually was able to balance her career and motherhood, but she often rejects modeling jobs if she needs to. "Either Tom has a big game or Benny has a play at school or maybe Jack will be with us for the weekend or Vivi has a bad cough," she wrote. "For whatever reason, the scheduling doesn't always work.…My family comes first."
