Back in October 2022, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and NFL legend Tom Brady announced they were officially getting a divorce after much speculation around their 13-year marriage. And though the news might’ve disappointed fans who were longtime fans of the power couple, their split was far from a surprise.
And, knowing their breakup was a long time coming, fans come together to wish for one main thing: Bündchen’s happiness. After all, it’s no surprise the model put her career on hold to dedicate herself to her family and her kids in the past few years. So, as she entered her new single era, we wished her nothing but peace, happiness and success.
Luckily, Bündchen proved she’s gotten just that in the past few months. From her breathtaking Instagram posts of her traveling back to Brazil to her candid interviews where she appears at peace with the split, it looks like Bündchen is making the best out of her new chapter. Plus, she’s also wowed us in incredible fashion campaigns and even rocked her first solo Met Gala in over two decades.
So, in honor of her 43rd birthday on July 20, we’ve compiled a list of photos of her recently that prove she’s living her best life. Check them all out below!
