GISELE ON TOM’S PREP
NEW YORK (AP) – It may be NFL playoff time in the Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen household, but the stress doesn’t carry over at home.
“He’s very focused,” the 33-year-old Bundchen said of Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots, in a recent interview. “We are both very supportive of one another in what we do. … Of course nobody likes to lose. Those aren’t the best days. He knows he does his best. He works extremely hard.”
The three-time Super Bowl champ and his New England Patriots travel to Denver to play the Broncos on Sunday for the AFC championship.
To stay calm, the Brazilian model says the couple winds down differently.
“At night if my husband is watching TV and watching football, I have my little book and I put something in my ears so I don’t hear it and I put my light (on) and have my book and I’m like, ‘Ohhh.’ He’s feeding his soul and that’s important to him to watch football. I only want to watch if I’m watching him,” she joked.
And win or lose, family comes first. Brady has a 6-year-old son, John, whose mother is actress Bridget Moynahan. Bundchen and Brady have a 4-year-old son, Ben, and a 1-year-old daughter, Vivian.
“He’s very loving and it’s a wonderful thing. In our house we are very affectionate,” she said. “I think it’s very important for the boys to know that it’s OK to hug and to kiss and you’re not less than a man.”
Bundchen was recently named a brand ambassador for Pantene hair products. She’s worked with the company in Brazil since 2007.
When she’s not working, Bundchen says she doesn’t have much time to put into her locks and laughs that her go-to style is a “sleek bun.”
She doesn’t even own a hairbrush.
“In my job you have to remember people are brushing my hair every day. You have to remember the last thing I want (on a day off) is a brush in my hair!”
Bundchen says she’s committed to being healthy and treating her body right in order to look and feel her best.
“Products are amazing but if you are putting things that are unhealthy inside your body it’s just masking stuff. … I haven’t drank soda in 10 years. My kids eat what I eat. The first (solid) food my son had was papaya and then avocado. … He loves garlic because we eat a lot of garlic in our house. Even my little daughter. … She will not eat anything unless there’s garlic. Garlic and ginger. … They really eat what I eat.”
It doesn't matter much to me who wins this weekend, as long as the Patriots lose. Can't stand their arrogance and this attitude that they are entitled to play in the super bowl every damn year. If Jerry Jones is the most hands-on owner in the NFL then Bob Kraft is the most arrogant. I don't care how hot Gisele is.
I guess watching all that tv has ruined Tom's eyesight. He needs eye glasses pronto before its gonna be too late and the hot Gisele moves to regina to be with me.
100% focused
How do they show a sense of entitlement toward playing in the superbowl? By outworking everyone and getting there routinely. Its not like they don't field a team and expect a free pass. They earn what they get.
Sense of entitlement apparently courtesy of feeding the soul and watching tv, plus having a very hot wife winding down at night with a little book, ear plugs, unbrushed hair.
Tom Brady is one fortunate guy but no doubt he's worked for his success. Anon #1 – I have to laugh at you and your jealousy….class team, class owner and class coach, nobody hands them anything…they go get it. Great organization.
Tom Brady never started in NCAA Michigant and he was a backup to Drew Henson, and he was a midround choice when he got to New England to back up Drew Bledsoe. Like Joe Montana before him, this guy outsmarted, outworked, and outhustled everyone around him. He still thinks like a 6th round pick that they'll cut him anyday that's why he never lets off the gas pedal and it shows. Watch a Football life about Belichek. This guy is a career grinder who learned from his Dad at the Naval Academy how to coach football. His Dad could have… Read more »
