Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s very public divorce was front and center in the news this past fall. Most assumed that it was Tom’s unwillingness to retire from football and spend time with the family that was the root cause. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Gisele opened up about the divorce and denied that football was the reason.
“That takes years to happen,” she said, adding that she was currently “mourning the death of my dream.”
“It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?” she continued. “You give everything you got to achieve your dream. You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t end up the way you hoped for, and worked for, but you can only do your part.”
“What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle. It’s not so black and white,” she said. “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.”
Gisele even denied that she’s been dating family friend/trainer Joaquim Valente, despite the fact that the two have been seen in copious amount of photos together.
“He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust,” she said, adding that she’s also not involved with Brady’s billionaire buddy Jeffrey Soffer.
