NFL legend, Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen has recently graced the covers of the August 31, 2023 edition of Elle France magazine.
However, Bundchen’s focus on fame instead of motherhood following her separation from Tom Brady is generating discussion.
The love story between Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady started in 2007. Two years after dating, the pair got hitched in 2009 at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California.
Together, they share a son, Benjamin Rein and a daughter, Vivian Lake.
However, on 28 October 2022, Bündchen and Brady finalized their divorce, marking the end of their 13-year-long married life.
Before tying the knot with Brady, Gisele was a Victoria’s Secret Angel. In 2007, Bündchen was the 16th-richest woman in the entertainment industry and earned the top spot on Forbes’s top-earning models list in 2012.
In the past 13 years, Gisele Bündchen had seemingly shifted her focus towards family and motherhood, placing her career on the back burner.
However, in the aftermath of her divorce from Tom Brady, the supermodel has made a remarkable resurgence in the fashion world, gracing the covers of esteemed magazines.
Also, in May 2023, Gisele was back at the Met Gala!
Bündchen has even rekindled her association with Victoria’s Secret, where she once reigned as an Angel from 1999 to 2006.
However, her recent return to the spotlight following her split with NFL superstar Tom Brady has ignited a flurry of mixed reactions from fans and followers on social media.
While many have celebrated Gisele’s comeback, applauding her for embracing her career once again, one fan expressed disappointment.
On Gisele’s Instagram posts, a user commented, “Appears that Giselle really wasn’t all onto the mom and family thing she professed. She obviously wants to be seen. She has been all over the magazine covers and ad campaigns since her divorce. She is beautiful and clearly craves public attention.”
This comment, however, prompted a wave of support from other fans who came to Gisele’s defense.
One user wrote, “She is a great woman, a great mother and daughter, and was a great wife. Took very good care of the family, appreciated yes for the well-being of the family. But if two pairs no longer have the same goal then… let this woman shine, because such a woman is light brightness, and beauty wherever she goes… Shines brightly.”
Another fan chimed in, addressing the gender bias in expectations, “So what you’re saying is, only a woman has to give up her career for family but the man doesn’t? He didn’t stop working to be with his family as he promised and lost her. PERIODT! She’s allowed to go back to work AND be a parent, just like him! Guys like you are just mad because she earns more than most men, including Tom! She’ll still be beautiful, talented, and rich whether you have a tantrum about it or not.”
Here are a few more reactions from fans who followed suit:
“What do you want her to do, sit around and mope, cry, do nothing? I’m glad she’s living her life.”
“She did magazine covers, editorials, and ad campaigns pre-Tom, during Tom, and after Tom. She’s the biggest supermodel in the world for almost 30 years now. She never even quit while married lol. She literally just stopped doing fashion shows. She’s ALWAYS done magazine photoshoots. Her professional career has zero to do with Tom.”
Amid the fiasco of opinions, Gisele Bündchen has announced that she will be releasing her first cookbook titled “Nourish.”
The collection will feature a combination of hearty and healthy dishes she prepares at home for her family, along with accompanying stories.
The cookbook is set to hit the shelves on March 26, 2024.
