Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s marriage happened to remain a fairytale relationship in the celebrity world. However, the duo sought a mutual divorce last year, ending a marriage of 13 years. Even though Bündchen initiated the bold move, the Supermodel revealed having self-destructive ideas before getting married. And it was Brady who brought her back to life.

One of the primary reasons behind their split was speculated as Brady’s over-obsession with the game of football. Apparently, he couldn’t give enough family time and subsequently, she filed a divorce. If we keep this aspect aside, their relationship always seemed like an ideal one.

Being a supermodel and a high-profile artist in the industry, Bündchen indulged in various relationships before getting linked with the NFL quarterback. Her bond with the Hollywood Superstar Leonardo DiCaprio always remained a hot subject of discussion.

Although she gained fame and immense popularity, Bündchen couldn’t find internal peace. Her imbalanced work-life and undisciplined diet contributed to mental trauma and deteriorating health.

The supermodel recalled those days through her book ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life’. She admitted making poor choices and thoughts that crossed her mind, asking herself whether she wanted to live.

“There were situations when I made poor choices-but I question whether they really were “mistakes” or rather just experiences and opportunities to learn,” Bündchen said in her book.
