Breakups can be the beginning of a powerful personal evolution, and supermodel Gisele Bündchen is living proof. A year has passed since her very public separation from Tom Brady, once the NFL’s most celebrated figure before Travis Kelce stepped into the limelight alongside Taylor Swift. Now, Bündchen is candidly sharing her journey through the intricate complexities of divorce, marking just over one year since the former power couple officially parting ways.
Her post features a tranquil image of her rocking a black swimsuit on the beach, meditating beside the ocean — a visual metaphor for weathering life’s tumultuous storms with grace and serenity. “Everyone we meet has faced or is facing challenges in life that we know nothing about. We don’t see the silent struggles, the fear, the obstacles, the heartbreaks, or their daily ups and downs…” Bündchen opened up the caption.
She then asked that people simply offer more kindness to one another, as we truly do not know everything that is going on with a person, or what they might be struggling with behind the scenes.
“As we go about our daily routine, we may miss seeing someone needing a simple, kind word or gesture. I believe an act of kindness sparks more kindness, and this is what we most need in the world today. 🙏,” she concluded before translating her caption in her native Portuguese.
Since her split from Brady, Bündchen has been candid about the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies divorce. Back in August — around the year mark of when her and Brady’s turmoil became very public — the supermodel opened up about what she has been focusing on following the divorce.
“I’ve always trusted that every situation, no matter how challenging, has something to teach us and happens for our growth,” she told Vogue Brazil. “Breakups are never easy, especially when there’s a whole media speculating every step of the way. I tried to focus on my children, my health and my projects and dreams.”
The couple, who were together for over a decade and share two children, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian Lake, 10, surprised the world with their divorce announcement in 2022. Despite the public attention, they have managed to maintain a united front, often expressing support for each other’s parenting efforts and focusing primarily on their children’s well-being.
However, Bündchen’s latest post indicates a shift in perspective. While the welfare of their children remains their top priority, it appears that the supermodel is taking some time to focus on her own healing and personal growth.
