So the Eagles won the Superbowl a lot to the dismay of this power couple. Patriots have been reigning for a while, so you win some, you lose some. People either love or hate Tom Brady, but those who hate him are clearly jealous. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, is a millionaire, is married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, and has three gorgeous 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are the king and queen of Celebrity whether we like it or not. He is the leader of the NFL and she was once the highest paid supermodel in the world. Together, they are a great power.

However, the story of how they come together is not exactly a picture-perfect scenario. In fact, this marriage has endured many ups and downs throughout the years. When you’re famous, it’s often hard to avoid controversy. When you’re a professional athlete paired with a supermodel, the lifestyle doesn’t suit most people. There’s a lot about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen that you might not know and that they want to keep secret. Here is a list of 15 facts about their relationship that are shocking.

15 Gisele started her career as another woman

In 2007, Gisele befriended Tom Brady shortly after he ended his relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. There is much speculation that she saw him around when he was still with Bridget, although that has never been confirmed nor denied. Shortly after they began their new relationship, Bridget announced that she was three months pregnant.

The timing pretty much means that Tom Brady and Gisele hooked up at least shortly after that relationship ended.

Moynahan spoke out about the time saying it was a harrowing time of heartbreak and pregnancy, and added, it was a mess. You must feel bad for this Bridget woman. First, you are abandoned by none other than Gisele Bündchen, and then you find out that you are pregnant with your ex. Talk about a difficult vacation.

14 She almost ended everything after the pregnancy.

Finding out that Bridget was pregnant was almost as difficult for Gisele as it was for her. After she first started dating Tom Brady only later to find out that his ex-girlfriend was pregnant, she almost wanted to end it right then and there. Gisele opened up about how it almost ruined their young relationship. This is a difficult thing. Here I am, thinking I’m dating this guy, we met and we started dating and everything was great. Then this happened. I feel like I don’t know what to do. It was one of those moments – did I run away? And now, eight years later, I couldn’t ask for a sweeter reward. Despite all this past drama, the three parents are sociable and surprisingly on good terms.

13 They were separated in a dispute over strategy

Back in 2015, there was a controversy over Deflatorate, where it was suspected that the Patriots had won the Superbowl on shady terms. Football was slightly deflated the way they were used to in training, which supposedly gave them an unfair advantage. During this whole scandal, Tom and Gisele were separated at the time with Gisele wanting a divorce. The controversy caused a lot of tension in their marriage.

The insider added: “Tom is very focused on his career and Gisele sometimes feels left out. There have been arguments.”

Gisele had wanted Tom to retire so he could focus more on his family, but like any other marriage, it had a lot of ups and downs. Being in the public eye like you’re living under a microscope certainly doesn’t help either.

12 Before Gisele, There Was Tara Reid

Tom Brady was around the area before he decided to settle down with Gisele Bundchen. After all, he is one of the most successful and beautiful players in the entire NFL. He had a brief chat with Tara Reid long before Gisele showed up. But once she got into the picture, man – talk about an upgrade! Way back in 2002, the pair couldn’t afford to date for just a month while she was still continuing her involvement in the American Pie franchise and his NFL career was just taking off. Tara Reid is one of Hollywood’s most notorious party girls, so it looks like he ran away with her when she was still in her prime. Today, it’s a completely different story. We can’t hide all the skeletons in our closets forever.

11 They met on a blind day

The two met through a mutual friend who told Tom that Gisele was like a female version of herself. “I knew right away [a] way – the first time I saw him,” Gisele told Vanity Fair in 2009.

“We met through a friend. The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, that’s the prettiest, most charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!”

“We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for Christmas, but I didn’t want to leave. You know that feeling, like, you can’t have enough? From the first day we met. , we’ve never spent a day without talking.” Unfortunately, as we all know, he is still in a relationship with Bridget Moynahan, but the rest is history.

10 She Doesn’t Care About Tom At First

Gisele Bündchen certainly has her standards and doesn’t care about the first-time five-time Superbowl champion. Before she even met him, she had been shown a photo and thought he was “cute”. She doesn’t want any connection with him because he already has a girlfriend and doesn’t want to think of herself as a house vandal. Tom Brady fever, certainly not so shabby. He’s cute, but if he had a girlfriend, she said, per Vogue . There are many men in the world chasing a man with a woman. Life is too short. Well, those words don’t stick to the action because after they were introduced through a blind date, they ended it with an instant connection and falling in love. Brady became single just before the blind date.

9 Tom makes Gisele sleep alone

No, this is not cruel or incompatible. This is due to his need to rehabilitate his body during the football season. Like many professional athletes, sleep is crucial for Tom Brady to get his body ready for the next game. On a typical week, he goes to bed at 8:30 and then wakes up the next morning to go to the team facilities. According to Gisele, Brady would disrupt his normal sleep time and would then get out of bed.

Gisele once told Robert Kraft she woke up at 3:30 a.m. early, discovered Brady wasn’t in bed, and then found that he was in the lab studying the footage.

That’s called dedication when you’re watching videos of 300 men running into each other instead of sleeping next to the most beautiful woman in the world.

8 shots were fired at their wedding

Wow, this part almost makes it look like Tom and Gisele have a mafia relationship. All jokes aside, there was some serious danger that happened during their wedding that was seeded, to say the least. According to International Press , two of their bodyguards approached the paparazzi during festivals in an attempt to retrieve their camera memory cards. Police said a shot was fired at the photographers as they left. Although the couple claim they didn’t hear any shots, their former bodyguards were found guilty of attempting to cause serious harm in November 2013. It looks like they’ll try their best. power to protect their privacy. You must feel bad for their bodyguard now. Maybe they’re sitting in their cell wondering if it’s worth it.

7 Gisele has become vegan

When you’re the most sought-after supermodel or the best quarterback in the NFL, it’s important to take care of your body and have it in top condition. Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are both truly vegan (but not entirely) and follow a strict diet. They even got their two kids to follow the same diet as them because they believe it’s ideal to get them out with good eating habits.

They do not eat products containing: white sugar, white flour, monosodium glutamate, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, coffee, caffeine, mushrooms and milk.

Overall, the diet is 80 percent vegetables (except those on the do not list) and whole grains, and the remaining 20 percent is lean meat, as well as wild salmon. This is all according to their personal chef.

6 They’re worth $480 million together

This power couple competes with the bank Jay-Z and Beyonce created. Here’s the kicker: she’s really the mainstay compared to him. According to sources, the combined net worth of this power couple is an absolutely staggering $480 million. Although Brady is one of the NFL’s most elite quarterbacks, it’s Gisele who brings in most of the money. She has an estimated net worth of $360 million while Brady is sitting around $160 million. After you have earned a lot of wealth, it really doesn’t matter anymore, who earns more than who. It’s funny because the press makes it seem like Gisele is the one “wearing the pants” or calling the scenes in the relationship. This is most likely the reason why.

5 They had two weddings

When you’re famous, you’re allowed to have two weddings. Because, why not? There are many rumors about how Tom Brady raised the question. Some speculated that it was on Christmas Eve on a private jet, while others said it was mid-January.

Gisele told Vanity Fair that they were engaged long before the rumors even started circulating, she just wasn’t wearing a ring.

The famous couple were married on February 26, 2009, in a small Catholic wedding at St. Monica in California. They then held a second wedding ceremony with a destination wedding in Costa Rica in April of the same year. Despite gunfire in one of their rituals, at least they had someone else to turn to.

4 Gisele raises 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to be bilingual

As Brazilian, Gisele’s first language is Portuguese and she believes it’s important for her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren to connect with their roots. This is why she raised them bilingual and spoke Portuguese with them in the house. In an adorable story, Brady reveals that he loves to read to 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren before bed, despite not being able to speak Portuguese at all! His kids find his mispronunciations hilarious. We have a lot of Portuguese books in our house and they are funny! My 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 can speak Portuguese, but I can’t read it, so I might mess up half the word. If they want to pick up one of those books, they can, and that’s one of the books I read. It’s hard.

3 Tom and Gisele disagree about politics

It is true that Tom Brady is a Trump supporter. After all the political talk about drama and elections, Gisele Bünchen decided she just had enough and threw in a white scarf. After a few interviews in the dressing room, there were “Make America Great Again” hats in Tom Brady’s personal area. Coincident? I think not. In response to every comment on her Instagram, Gisele replied “no” that they are not Trump supporters. She may not, but it looks like him.

Tom Brady told reporters that after a discussion with his wife, they just agreed to disagree and not talk about politics.

However, Trump has been allowed to publish his endorsement, Brady has yet to comment on it in the media.

2 of them disappeared from the red carpet for two years

This is truly a couple who put family first before fame and want to gloat in the limelight. It is definitely something to be admired. One big event that Tom and Gisele stun year after year is the Met Gala. The black tie event is one of the most exciting nights for fashion enthusiasts. If Tom Brady wasn’t a subway guy before, he’s definitely with Gisele now. She sure has dolled him up well. Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yes. It was a two-year hiatus. Maybe they’re just building anticipation so they’ll be even better received the next time they attend a red carpet event. Everyone needs to obey this king and queen.

1 Both have celebrities

Now that we’ve talked about Tom Brady’s ex-actress Bridget Moynahan, let’s take a look at Gisele’s most famous ex.

It was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio and they had a relationship that lasted 5 years before she befriended Tom Brady.

It seems Gisele Bünchen has dated some of the most qualified bachelors in Hollywood. Talk about the good life. We have to wonder how things would be different if she got married and started having 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with Leo. Her famous ex-boyfriend is currently linked with some of the hottest, youngest models in the business, and the press is even calling him a “model”. What Leo and Gisele share most in common is their passion to help the environment and save the world.
