Gisele Bündchen is opening up about the new chapter of her life following her controversial divorce with Tom Brady. The supermodel shared her thoughts for the first time, revealing that she is ready to spread her “wings and fly,” after experiencing the death of her “dream,” in reference to her failed relationship.
During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the 42-year-old model got emotional talking about her divorce. “It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know?” she said. “I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it’s beautiful to believe in that. I mean, I’m so grateful I did.”

I felt so ready,” she admitted, adding that they met on a “blind date.”
Gisele said to the publication that she has “no regrets” about her life with Brady, as she made her dreams come true of becoming a mom. “We are a team … and that’s beautiful. I look back and I have no regrets. I loved every bit of it,” adding that they continued to be amicable. “We’re not playing against each other.”

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.”
“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,” Gisele concluded. “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.”
