Gisele Bündchen was hopeful that her marriage to Tom Brady would work out, but still doesn’t regret going through the high-profile divorce.
Nearly one year after their split, Bündchen revealed that she wouldn’t change anything about her life, including her and Brady’s 13-year marriage, as well as their eventual divorce.
“[Our split was] not what I dreamed of and what I hoped for. My parents have been married for 50 years, and I really wanted that to happen,” Bündchen told Lee Cowan in a “CBS News Sunday Morning” interview set to air this Sunday.
The 43-year-old model continued, “But I think you have to accept, you know, sometimes that the way you are in your 20s, it’s sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart.”
The supermodel added that she is “so grateful” for their relationship because it resulted in two “wonderful” children.
“He’s the father of my kids, so I always wish him the best,” she concluded.

But despite feeling at peace with the divorce, Bündchen previously admitted that going through a separation is difficult.
“It’s been very tough on my family. It’s been a lot — in every area of my life,” she told People in an interview published Monday.
“I feel like whenever it rains, it pours. With all the different twists and turns that life takes, all we can do is the best we can given what happens in our surroundings.”
Bündchen and Brady, 46, got divorced in October 2022, following an “epic fight” over his surprising decision to “un-retire” from the NFL six months earlier.
“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time spent together,” they said in a joint statement announcing the split.
The pair, who share son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10, vowed to focus on their children and co-parent peacefully.
Bündchen also promised to support Brady’s eldest child, 16-year-old son Jack, whose mother is actress Bridget Moynahan, despite the divorce.
Since the separation, Bündchen has been prioritizing herself, including scooping up a $9 million Florida estate and modeling in high-profile fashion campaigns.
Brady, meanwhile, has been spending time with model Irina Shayk, although sources told us earlier this month that they’re not exclusively dating.
“CBS News Sunday Morning” airs Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on CBS.
