Gisele Bündchen has had an eventful year. As the model slowly makes her move back to the world of fashion, certain moments from her interactions this year are coming back into the spotlight. This year, the model’s 13-year marriage to Tom Brady came to an end. Although the rumors of disharmony persisted long before the duo called it quits, some instances, when scrutinized, gave fans an insight into the storm that was brewing.

Earlier this year, Bündchen was featured in an episode of British Vogue’s ‘In The Bag.’ One line from her interaction, perhaps, set the tone for the rest of her year.

Gisele Bündchen made an insightful statement that she’s had to practically apply to her life

In the video, the Brazilian model revealed all the day-to-day essentials that she carries in her bag. The contents of Bündchen’s bag aren’t just inanimate objects, but things that give insight into her personality. Opting out of luxurious and flashy things, the model’s essentials include Kleenex, vitamins, and incense sticks, among other things.

Apart from her interesting array of items, one line from her interaction stood out. She said, “Don’t carry any more weight than you need to in life”
That sentence could perhaps be the caption for the events that occurred this year.

Fans made note of the statement from Bündchen alongside other details

During the interview, the model also found a picture of her family. She held out the picture and remarked on how her daughter looked so much younger. But despite mentioning her children, the model stopped short of mentioning Tom Brady. At the time, the model hadn’t announced the separation from her husband.

Fans were quick to make important observations. One fan quickly noticed, “Aww she’s not wearing her ring and when she showed the photo she stopped herself just before she said ‘husband’ and changed it to “family”. Sending you love deary ❤️”

Another fan left a note of appreciation, “Gisele is aging like fine wine ✨✨ she is simplistic and such a timeless beauty”

One user wrote thoughtfully, “Inside her bag are her values: the love for her family, spirituality, motherhood, and taking good care of herself (beauty and health). Gisele is so special!!!”

Another user said, “Notice how she showed the photo of her family. She said, here are my kids and my hu. She didn’t want to say husband and instead, she said kids and family. Hopefully, they’re getting along.”

This fan appreciated the model by saying, “Saw the picture of her stepson in her wallet and she says it’s my family! kudos to her! my stepmom never considered me family ever! Gisele is a true star and the fact she is using a fifteen-year-old bag speaks volumes! You earned my respect”

Gisele Bündchen’s year has been far from a smooth ride. But, the model has seemingly taken things in stride.

It truly does seem like Gisele Bündchen applies the philosophy she’s passionate about in her daily life. While it will take time to heal wounds and let go of baggage from her past, the model’s current mantra seems to be helping. There’s no greater cure than spending time with loved ones and Bündchen is doing just that.
