On paper, the famous quarterback and supermodel appear to have the perfect family, but Gisele Bündchen revealed that parenting with Tom Brady is more difficult than it seems. “I don’t think relationships just happen; it’s never the fairy tale people want to believe it is,” the Victoria’s Secret model told British Vogue on May 18. “It takes work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids,” she added.
Apparently, the couple’s household efforts were divided, as Bündchen let her career take a backseat to motherhood. “His focus is on his career, mine is mostly on the kids,” she told the publication. Although, Bündchen had zero resentment about carrying the parenting burden. “And I’m very grateful that he lets me take the reins when it comes to our family. He trusts my decisions,” she said.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion previously hinted his intense work ethic detracted from his home life. “I know I’m not as good a dad to my kids that my dad’s been to me,” he said on an episode of his docu-series “Man In the Arena” in April. Over time, Bündchen had no problem doing the heavy-lifting as a parent, but even she initially struggled with the duties. “When I became a mom, I kind of lost myself. It was like a part of me died,” she wrote in her memoir “Lessons: My Path To a Meaningful Life” in 2018 (via Fox News).
