Gisele Bündchen on Life After Tom Brady and Finding Her ‘Pura Vida’ in Costa Rica

The Symphony of Nature

Gisele Bündchen is not concerned about a little robin’s poo-poo stained cushion. In fact, she wants to save the bird and drip water into its beak from an incense holder turned bird feeder. Bündchen regularly communicates with nature and cherishes Costa Rica’s sounds and animals, surrounding her hideaway.

A Slow Burn Divorce

After finalizing her divorce with former NFL quarterback, Tom Brady, after a long and productive union, media surrounded their careers. Bündchen scaled back her modeling career to support her husband, and both became business partners for extracurricular ventures. Unfortunately, an investment in Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency exchange ultimately failed, leading to upset for Bündchen. However, they have vouched to be amicable co-parents and remain grateful for their time together.

Marital Contributions and Long-Growing Differences

Bündchen’s model earnings surpassed Brady’s NFL contract while she scaled back her career to prioritize her family with Brady. Though her living style transitioned from Boston to Florida, she never let go of herself entirely. She regrets people’s erroneous beliefs about her being against football and states there is much more to the unraveling of a 13-year marriage. Bündchen and Brady desired different lifestyles after starting their relationship; now, they have found separations necessary to live the life they want.

The Pura Vida

Bündchen has a dream to lead the simple life in Costa Rica and raise her kids there. Though the family will reside in Miami, Bündchen wants to spend as much time in Costa Rica as she can. She has a group of friends and neighbors she calls her “village” and often creates gluten-free pizzas with them. Bündchen partakes in some of her favorite outdoor leisure activities, like horseback riding, pickleball, and spending time at the beach with her kids.

Lessons Learned: Love Conquers All

Bündchen admits to her complicated start with Brady’s ex-partner, but as the years passed, the women learned to get along. Bündchen believes no situation is worth fighting over, leading to an enriching experience. Bündchen, Benny (son), and Vivi (daughter) still cheered for Brady in his last game ever at a wild card round in the NFC playoffs. The trio has committed themselves to Brazilian jujitsu and practice under the teachings of Pedro, Gui, and Joaquim Valente, who reinforce a mind-body-spirit ethos.
