“It was a home birth and it was funny because he didn’t want me to have a home birth,” she recalls. “He was like, ‘Absolutely not,’ and I was like, ‘Excuse me, you don’t get to choose that, it’s my body.’” She adds, “He was like, ‘Who has a kid at home in 2000…?’ I do.”
However, the Bundchen had a safe delivery, and with a sigh of relief, Brady recalls, “Me being there with G at his birth in our home, it lives in my mind. I think we brought this boy into the world in the most precious way.”
