Gisele Bündchen is speaking her truth. The 42-year-old model covers the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine and in the accompanying interview, she opens up for the first time about her divorce from Tom Brady, which they announced in October 2022.

Calling the divorce, "the death of my dream," Bündchen debunks the claim that she gave Brady an ultimatum about choosing between their marriage and his football career. 

"Wow, people really made it about that. What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle," she tells the magazine. "It’s not so black and white." 

Calling the claims "very hurtful" and "the craziest thing I've ever heard," Bündchen adds, "Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever. If there's one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it's him, believe me. I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart."

As for what led to their divorce, Bündchen gives her own take on the situation. 

"Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart," she says. "When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It’s a dance. It’s a balance."

She goes on to explain, "When you love someone, you don’t put them in a jail and say, 'You have to live this life.' You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly the same direction, then that’s amazing."

Bündchen and Brady were first romantically linked in January 2007 and got married on Feb. 26, 2009. They share two children, 13-year-old son Benjamin and 10-year-old daughter Vivian, while Brady also has a 15-year-old son, John, with actress Bridget Moynahan. 

Moving forward with her ex, Bündchen says, "We’re not playing against each other. We are a team…and that’s beautiful. I look back and I have no regrets. I loved every bit of it."
