Gisele Bundchen Opens Up Emotionally in Interview as Robin Roberts Touches on Tom Brady Divorce

Gisele Bündchen is opening up and showing her vulnerable side.

On Wednesday, March 6, ABC News gave a sneak peek of Bündchen’s upcoming interview with Robin Roberts. In the video, the 43-year-old model became emotional when Roberts, 63, mentioned how she had compared her divorce from ex-husband Tom Brady to "the death of a dream."

“How are you?” Roberts then asked, which seemed to catch Bündchen off guard.

“Well, when you say, “ she began, before turning her head to the side and getting choked up.

"Sorry, guys," Bündchen apologized. "I didn't know. Can I have a little moment?"

In another part of the trailer, Roberts inquired about how Bündchen manages coparenting with her husband, retired NFL star Brady. Bündchen and Brady have two children together, Benjamin (14) and Vivian (11). Brady also has a son, Jack (16), from a previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

“I think there’s easier days than others, and I can only control what I do,” she replied.

Bündchen and Brady announced in October 2022 that they were divorcing after 13 years of marriage.

Brady took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife had finalized their divorce after 13 years of marriage. They made the decision amicably, expressing gratitude for the time they spent together. Their priority remains their beautiful children, who will always be at the center of their world. They are committed to working together as co-parents to ensure their children receive the love and attention they deserve.

Speculation arose about Bündchen's happiness following Brady's decision to reverse his NFL retirement announcement in March 2022. However, Bündchen has dismissed these rumors as "very hurtful" and not reflective of their true relationship.

During a March 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Bündchen shared that the recent comments were just a small part of a larger picture. She emphasized that the situation is not as clear-cut as it may seem.

She expressed her unwavering support for him, stating that she has always been his biggest cheerleader and will continue to be. Bündchen made it clear that she only wishes for his happiness and success, wanting all his dreams to be fulfilled from the bottom of her heart.

Brady and Bündchen have both moved on since their split. Brady was spotted getting close to Irina Shayk in July 2023, with rumors suggesting they spent the night together at his home in Los Angeles. According to a source, the two have been casually hanging out without any commitment.

On the other hand, Bündchen has been growing closer to her jiu-jitsu teacher, Joaquim Valente.

A second insider recently shared with Us that Joaquim supported Gisele during her divorce and their friendship blossomed into romance last summer. The source also mentioned that Valente is wonderful with Bündchen’s children. Gisele appreciates having a partner from Brazil, as they share a unique history that she hasn’t experienced with anyone else she’s dated.

During a recent teaser on Wednesday, Bündchen playfully avoided giving a direct answer when Roberts asked if she was ready to open her heart to someone new.

Bündchen started by saying that she is currently in a place where her heart truly belongs. She emphasized that she is living authentically and unapologetically.

A part of Roberts' conversation with Bündchen will be shown on Good Morning America on Thursday, March 7. The complete special, Impact x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain, will be available for streaming on Hulu on the same day.
