OlderGisele Bundchen - ‘Vanity Fair’ May 2009
AND GOD MADE GISELE
Gisele Bundchen graces the May 2009 cover of Vanity Fair. Here’s what the 28-year-old Brazilian beauty opened up about:
On being compatible with Tom Brady: “He’s very close to his family. He’s Catholic. His parents have been married 40 years. He’s got a pure heart. That’s all that matters – he’s got the purest heart. I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I’m sharing my life with. I have a good man.”
On Tom’s love child with Bridget Moynahan (John Edward Thomas Moynahan): “It was definitely a surprise for both of us. In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, This can’t be true, it’s so good! And then, Whoops – wake-up call! , [I]t was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it’s not the ideal thing.”
On doubts arising from her and Tom’s relationship: “You question at times – ‘Should I stay here? Maybe you should work this out.’ But when people break up, it’s for a reason. [Dealing with baby John] was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of. [I love Tom's integrity and] the way he was a good person through all the times. I was like, You have the heart in a good place! It made me feel more in love with him; it made me realize who he was.”

Tom’s a good man? Yeah, right. I’d like to hear what Bridget has to say about that.
Interesting article… shes alot more of a person than she appears from the outside. Thanks Jared!
response to #1… Bridget can’t say anything but good about Tom… Tom has been a great father to thier little boy, thats what every woman wants for her child.
i think tom and gisele seem like a low key and happy couple.
she is so beautiful!!! her and tom= amazing couple!
I wonder why people cannot move on from Bridget already or accept the fact that Tom didn`t leave her knowing that she was pregnant. Move on, finally.
I loved this interview and she looks incredible!!!
I don’t think Gisele’s the most beautiful woman in the world, but that’s a beautiful cover.
so what? why do people like to make her seem more interesting than she really is? wow gisele is naked/half naked again what’s new??
why not making career in BRASIL then?
PEOPLE IN BRASIL ARE NOT NAIVE ENOUGH, folks!!
Maybe I’m a hater but I don’t think Gisele is the most beautiful woman in the world. Pretty, yes but there are so many gorgeous women out there. But I do wish her and Tom the best.
I’m with you Janelle, I fail to see why she’s so beautiful. She’s certainly not ugly by any means, but….she’s not all people say either. especially when she’s not airbrushed.
She may not be classically beautiful, but she’s fierce on the runway and the way she carries herself is gorgeous! I hope their love lasts.
Oh, and I never thought she looked that great either, until I saw her on the runway!
What bugs me the most about this article is the fact that she calls the baby 100% hers. No, that baby isn’t even 1% hers!! I think its great that she loves that little boy and that she wants to be a great step mother to that child. But saying that he is 100% hers, is taking it a little bit far. She is over-stepping her boundaries here. He has a mother who carried him and gave birth to him. Now I can see her saying that if the baby didnt have a mother in his life but he DOES have a great mother. So her saying this just makes me ..ekk.. not seem so fond of her.
#10 and 11. I think you could make that case with about any celebrity you can think of. Gisele is pretty, but not the most beautiful woman in the world. Same with Leo Dicrapio, Robert Pattyson, Gerald Bulter, etc. It’s all hype! They are really not any more attractive than the average person. It’s lightning, make up and marketing.
On another note, it’s nice to see that Gisele has some substance under her pretty facade. She doesn’t appear to be a vacuous women, so good for Tom for snagging her.
gosh, this model is slow and should just stick to modelling.
I think she’s still in love with leo.
so wait a minute here. she was with him when BM got pregnant? Oh yeh, he’s a great guy. whatever !~Confused~
Gisele did not say the boy is 100% hers… she said thats how she FEELS.. which is actually very sweet, considering that many people see thier step-children as “his’ kid, or “her” kid. To love the child as your own is incredibly warm hearted.
Jennifer @ 03/30/2009 at 2:08 pm
She said that is how she feels about him. And how lucky is this kid to have three parents that love him and adore him?
Why would you feel threatened by that? If I had gotten divorced, I would have prayed my ex found someone who loved our kids as though they were her own. Why would I want anything less for them?
Tom found out briget was pregnant towards the end of Feb 07′.. he and Gisele began dating in Dec 06′.. Moynahan became pregnant around the 3rd week of Nov 06′. Tom & Briget broke up end of Nov.
Tom was not with Gisele when Briget got pregnant. Gisele should’ve said “we had been dating for 2 months and 9 days when we found out”, cause that would have been accurate.. but oh well.
I’m with Jennifer (#14) while I’m not anti Giselle I think what she said was in poor taste. It’s great that she loves her step-son but she should have stopped talking about the situation after the 3rd paragraph or not even spoke about the situation at all.
Dont these fools learn anything at all..the next cover will be why he is an dumb a-rse because he cant think byound his derierre…pictures are worth a thousand words and Tommy boy was no where around that baby till very recently when he got hurt and could not play….he only had time for a baby because he has spare time..otherwise he was running around with mss horse face here,..ahhaha
She is stunning and seems smart and it’s great she loves that baby like her own since she is his step mother and is with him a lot. I’m sure Brig whoever would be happy about that because it means her son will always be in good hands.
yeah right..when is the divorce??? keep your happiness to yourself foo–ol!!
Gisele can talk about what she likes in an interview but I feel that she has overstepped the line in her comments about her stepson. It is obvious that they are desperately trying to improve their PR, hence all the photos of her with the boy etc. On the other hand we hardly ever see little John with his own mother, who knows how to protect him from the media.
How would Gisele like it if Bridget had given an interview giving her side of the story?
gisele is so sweet, i wish her and tom and the baby nothing but happiness :)
Ruth,
you hardly see the boy with his own mother, how do you or anyone else for that matter know that he’s also not often with his father just not pictured? it truly amuses and amazes me how b/c we don’t see pictures of him with his son often, he is a horrible father that never ever saw him till recently…yeah i guess b/c you don’t see pictures of my son and his father in the tabloids he’s a horrible father too…get real. Thank god that little boy has 3 people who love him. And a question b/c you don’t happen to see photographs does that mean its not happening?
Doesn’t Harper’s Bazaar already have this transgendered, ah, female on its cover? They need new models to put on their covers. It’s the SAME people over and again.
Dabu, you took what I said out of context. I stated my opinion on how she kinda went too far in her “wordage”. I think its great she loves that little boy and that she thinks of him as her own. Thats great because thats not always the case for step parents and step children. Just the way she said, “100% mind” is a little too far taken, especially since he isnt hers. lol
Thanks Rachel :)
god. why are people so hateful and mean these days
if you’ve read the article all 4 pages which was actually a wonderful
interview VF never fails to deliver each time.. you’ll know what a wonderful person Gisele seems.
She loves helping people and the environment.
She ever praises Leo and says she admires him. She talks about what a wonderful boy her step son is .. NOT that it’s hers 100% but she feels like it .. Showing that she’s treating that little boy that she didn’t deliver the same amount of love as the mother.
She’s a happily married woman who’s absolutely beautiful.. I don’t think there’s such thing as ‘most beautiful woman on this earth’ because beauty is subjective to everyone.. but you can’t deny she is stunning
I liked this quote from her a lot.
“That’s why I think it’s important to focus on what matters. Everyone has talents—you’ve just got to find them—and everyone has flaws. Wishing to be something you’re not is the biggest recipe for a sad life. All of us are special. Embrace all that you are! Treat yourself as the special being you are. “
congrats on gisele…i hope her all tha hapiness in the world
she is gorgeous beyond words!
Initially I too was taken aback by her comment on baby John, but yanno, how lucky is this little boy that he has three loving parental figures in his life.
What’s the alternative? That she resents the kid? Partially loves him?
I would tend to think that even Bridget…after some initial selfish feelings, would have to agree that her son is very fortunate to have such a loving step-mom.
damnnnnnnnnnnnn!!
that body of hers is so sexy!
no1 else has a sexy body like that,(sexy curvy body is kelly brook)
i found it kinda weird how she was talking about toms kid, im pretty sure his ex-wife is gonna be annoyed at what she said, pretty sure a lot of ppl would…
but whatever, love from LFIB! =D
#16 you are an idiot! Why would she still be in love with Leo?! Tom Brady is so much hotter and seems so much nicer. I am happy for them. They are both beautiful people…inside and out it seems.
Some people here either are foreign or did not do well in english at school - I feel as though all of us did not read the same article - here is exactly what Gisele said:
“I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent,” Gisele says. “I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.”
Tom is a Catholic - yeah right! Practicing Catholics don’t have sex outside of marriage, don’t use birth control and they sure as hell don’t have babies outside of marriage. He may be Catholic by word of mouth - but seriously, when was the last time he followed the guidelines of the Church> He’s not a Catholic - he’s a hypocrite.
i don’t think giselle is pretty at all,she looks like a giraffe, but very interesting interview i must say.
What a…! You BET dear little Tom should have man up and tried again with the mother of his child instead of leaving her pregnant and alone!!! He didn’t even try! He stayed with his model, and she of course was completely ok with him not leaving her! She’s kind of a homewrecker to me, because she stopped a family to reunite.
B*tch. But he is an *ss, thinking just about himself and not his child’s happiness… heart of gold my foot!
AND she should NOT try to TAKE the kid’s mother’s place!! How dare she say that “she feels he is her own kid”! WTH??? How disrespectful is that! She already took that poor woman her man, now she wants the kid too??!
big nose ugly bioch
heresay, are you crazy..gisele is GORGEOUS! did u even read what seh said? it was interesting and proved she has more substance than people like you.
Ham, I’m catholic and like 90% of Brazil is catholic and I can guarantee you Kate, that not all of them follow these rules- no sex outside marriage, no birth control, etc- and thank god for that! If no one used birth control there would be a hell lot more of babies outside of marriage!
Welcome to the world of step-parenting, Bundchen! You are an idiot.
So sick of this piece of trash. She poses naked in these pics and talks about a child that is not hers in this way. She got the loser deadbeat Brady why did this W*hore have to open her hole? I ‘ll tell you why she’s trying to cause trouble, she may be hard to understand but she knows exactly what she’s doing.
I can say that Gisele has the most beautiful/perfect body in the world but her face? …not so much.
Even Nicole Miller said Gisele wasn’t anything special but it was the way she carried herself on the cat walk which made her such a spectacular model. I think people take it too far when they say she’s sooooo beautiful. Her face doesn’t appeal to me at all but her body is definitely enviable.
It seems that Bullmastiff Bennetts is at it again.
~
I have no problem with a stepparent feeling maternal towards their stepchild, but her statement seems a bit out of order. I mean, the baby doesn’t even have Tom’s last name, a deliberate action taken by Bridget, and it’s almost like Gisele thinks that the baby is John Edward Thomas Moynahan Bundchen.
~
Again, it’s great that Gisele seems to have love for the boy, but she’s coming across as presumptuous. And there’s also a danger of interpreting her love for this little boy as only contingent if she can control how she feels about the baby and his mother on any given day.
~
But then again, maybe Bennetts is, yet again, trying to start a catfight between higher profile women, so she can make her rounds on the entertainment shows.
Gisele is stunning woman . God
Gislut knows exactly what she said and what she’s doing. Connect the dots bimbo - JACK is a sweet kid because of how he’s being raised and for that this evil step Ho can thank the childs mom for both having him when deadbeat hubby wanted nothing to do with the kid and for raising him for the first part of his life by his mom when his Father was too busy walking your dog. Giving the actual mom credit and stating the situation was difficult for all but worked through it and all are lucky to have Jack, would have been the class act thing to do but no Gislut while posing with no clothes on had to use this to start this crap up again. She has an ax to grind but it’s going to backfire because no one is buying her Holy Step Mom rountine and the paps love to bother them both.
a lot of people are catholic in my country, some do not go to mass every sunday, but many are. A different thing is following step by step every single thing the church states. Many catholics here use birth control methods, a lot of young people practise sex outside marriage, and even live together without marriage, etc. MAy of them are good people and try to follow what the church says, but they are not soooo strict in their practises. No, and I do not think everybody who does that is a hypocrite.
.
I like that she is or seems to be a nice stepmother. I would not like a man to be with me because of a pregnancy, a baby, I would not like a man to be with me out of pity either. If he was certain that the did not love the mother of his kid, I agree that he should not be with her. Why to make an unhappy marriage?
Also, if you do not see pics of the baby and his mother, it’s maybe because nobody buys them, here, Brady and Gisele are the ones who sell.
Good that the baby has people who love him, I hope he turns out alright.
Wierdo, Well said. I am sure many agree with you.
I wonder how Tom’s catholic parents feel watching their new daughter-in-law half naked on the cover of Vanity Fair?
@ Mike how should Gisele parents feel that his son in law has a child out of marriage?
It seems that many think that catholics= ultraconservative. Not true!!
As if there were not bikini catholic models, let alone other less conservative even “sinners” like pole dancers who are catholics (referring only to the entertainment area).
Uff my parents should have stopped being catholics since he was already divorced when they got together, there are so many examples of otherwise.
Ms. Bundchen should have said “No” to her own question of whether she should have stayed in that relationship after she found out that Mr. Brady was going to become a father. And Tom Brady’s good Catholic mother and father should have kicked their spoiled brat kid in the pants and told him to start acting like a responsible man and do the right thing. Whatever happened to the concept of being honorable? That little boy deserved at least that. Thankfully, he has a mom who possesses dignity and class and gave him a name he can be proud of!.
SHE IS AMAZING, love her. <3
Gisele is fluent in English! she knew exactly what she was saying.
As far as I’m concerned it’s not her place to comment on Jack or do interviews about Jack, Tom & Bridget can!
Did she just call him Johnny! aka John “Jack ” Moynahan. nickname Jack-
I bet she came up with her own nickname for her ’son’.
“I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.” (This statement would make sense if she had 100% custody of Jack Moynahan)
Ok we get it Gisele - Tom’s heart is made made of “Pure Gold”
and non other can match it!!
Somebody shut this woman up!!
I’m sorry, but seriously, you “people” take the cake. Would it have been better for Gisele (Tom’s WIFE) to say she HATES her stepson & won’t have anything to do with him? I have friends who are divorced & have children together… Both married other people & had children together. Which made the children HALF-SIBLINGS are not filled with hate or resentment, nor are their parents.
-
Hell, when my girlfriend remarried her ex was there for weekend BBQ’s - When he remarried awhile later, his EX was very happy for them both… Thank God they’re NOT TWISTED WITH HATE, but can come together as 4 FAMILIES & not a bunch of twisted, manipulative SOB’s using their kids (as some other couples of divorce do) to get back at each other…
-
Tell me something… What happens when Bridget decides to get in to a serious relationship/married keep her guy away from her son because he’s NOT the father? Or should he “hate his stepson & not want anything to do with him…
-
The more I skim different threads, the more I find myself becoming disallusioned with society as a whole… I saw on the news tonight how a man released from prison went to his estranged parents’ house & MURDERED 2 of his sisters & was stopped from killing his other sister by a cop’s bullet. What that cop saw, the survivors (9 year old & grandmother went through… Well, I won’t go into details of HOW those 2 kids were killed - it’s just sickening & heartbreaking.
-
So I say to ALL haters here & spreading like a plague through other threads & other blogs… Do us decent people a favor - Go to Iraq; crawl under a rock; strand yourselves on some faraway island somewhere & leave us who DON’T HATE ALONE.
tacky interview by tacky woman….this woman is dubbed as “beautiful”? something bad wrong with people’s eyesight…hope bridget keeps Jack away from this witch..
Giselle totally dished Bridget AND stepped over the line as a STEP PARENT in that interview. Yes, you can love your step child, but you are the STEP-PARENT. I know this because I am a step parent, too. I would NEVER EVER dish on my step-sons mother. And even tho I love them very much, I would never try and replace their mom or be a substitute for their mom. Giselle is only out to make herself look good.
Gisele knew exactly what she was saying in her interview. She is trying to portray herself as this giving loving mom. Gisele had no right even commenting on that little boy. He is not her child. It is quite clear she thinks she is a better parent then Bridget.
This is one big public relations stunt to make Tom and Gisele look like the better parents/family for Bridget’s son. How tacky and rude of Gisele to comment on a child that is not hers. Gisele is a step parent, nothing more.
This interview reminds me of when Katie Holmes decided she was a better mother then Nicole Kidman. Katie also blabbed on about how they called her mom. Very hurtful. Disrespectful. Gisele needs to keep her mouth shut about someone else’s child.
I cannot believe Giselle. She acts like this is her love-child. Like he is a possession. Giselle is completely wrong. She has only the supporting role in this child’s life. She can and should love her step son. But Giselle is only the step parent.
Gisselle is a pompous B_TCH!!!
Gisselle had NO RIGHT to make any comments on Bridget and Tom’s son. She is NOT his Mom. Gisselle is out to make herself look like the better parent for this little boy. This is why we see her in photos all the time! I would pissed if I were Bridget.
Saying that baby is 100% hers is so out of line. Gisele knew what she was saying. No misunderstanding here. I think she is sending a message to Bridget. It’s great that she loves her step son as she should. But he is NOT hers. He has parents.
when is it out to buy in shops?
when is it out to buy in shops?
Case of single white female, first your man , not your child…watch out bridge ahahahhah…
If this Girls was even considered a nice person, she would have ate least one friend from her victoria secrets modelling or runway career…but she doesnt, does she????
I wonder if Tyra will ever give a run down on this one..ahahahh
Yeah, this baby better be %100 hers because lord knows she’d never defile that hot body to have a baby. What a selfish brat!
Both of these two are lowlifes and it’s sad that Tom Brady is the disinterested father who couldn’t even be bothered to try and make the relationship with his son’s mother work. I hope the Patriots have the worst year on record!!
You people are all CRAZY!!! It’s called freedom of the press. I have stepchildren. I love them as my own, and I get along great with the mom and her family. We are adults, we make our relationship work for the kids and we keep our thoughts to ourselves. So what, Gisselle can voice her opinion. I would rather have someone that loved my child then not. People get over it, move on with your lives.
That’s not a flattering picture.
There is something so unnatural and disturbing about those pics: Wow, no hips! That really looks like some effeminate naked hippy with long hair. I swear the men who like “her” are closet cases. And I am talking about Brady who left an actual beauty and female for this horse faced tranny, who looks like she has some sort AIDS related wasting. And Gisele go back to the pastic surgeon who did your nose job, b/c you still have a honker from hell! And maybe get that adam’s appe shaved down. A butt or hip implant and eye enlargement wouldn’t hurt either. Better yet just go the hell away, and bring back the classical beauties of the ’80s and ’90s. I hate these third world rough and trashy ugly mutt Brazilians.
To all step- parents who say they get a long great with mom of the children or dad…This is great for the kids involved.
You have to remember Gisele has NEVER met Bridget! So this interview on Jack is inapproriate. Not her place!
she even uses a different name for him and refers to him as ‘it’.
This Interview has actually proven something I suspected earlier which I thought was resolved by three mature adults.
Tom Brady and his wife TOTALLY disrespect /(probably- hate)- Bridget.
I mean she ruined their Oh! so perfect romantic fantasy!
She looks very manly and her face isn’t even pretty.
She should stop trying to hurt Bridget. It’s one thing to take her man, but leave her child alone.
first of all what she said in the maga about bridget was uncool.
ofcourse the child is goint to have a relationship with the mother, she has full custody of him, not u gisele. if u so desperate to raise a child have ur own. i just dont like what she said. i totally lost so much respect foe her. by the way she talked about there relatinship that means he cheated on bridget with gisele.
if she loves her stepson so much dont u think she would @ least try to stablish some kind of friendship with bridget…….. it seems to me that gisele only wants attention for her self
if Bridget loves her son so much dont u think she would @ least try to stablish some kind of friendship with Gisele…….. it seems to me that Bridget only wants attention for her self
Jennifer Aniston are you paying attention? You could learn something from Bridget. This is how a woman with class carry herself. We have all seen photos of Gisele with the son. Did Bridget jump on the cover of a magazine naked to call Gisele “uncool”? I respect Bridget for dealing with a difficult situation with class. Life happens and you move on.
Very funny I think that people say that GISELA SEARCH AND ATTENTION TO WHETHER appears, but forget that Bridget Pregnancy PRA TRY PURPOSE OF EARNING THE TOM AND YOUR failed Coup. A GISELA NEED NOT APPEAR told it is the BEST MODEL OF THE WORLD AT ALL TIMES. And was an actress Bridget WHAT IS THE THIRD TIME ABOUT ESPOSADA the boy RIDICULOUS IN THAT COVER THE JOURNAL OK, anyone here remember? WHO IS IT FOR SPEAKING IN DESCRIPTION? Please try the coup of the belly and breaking the man. ELA should thank TREAT AND GISELA like her son. BACKGROUND AND ANYONE UNDERSTAND VERY WELL WHAT THE QUIZ MEAN GISELA.
I think Giselle is a fabulous model. Great body, great energy, great on the runway. The face? Eh. She’s certainly no diplomat, or maybe her English isn’t that good. Feeling like your husband’s kid with another woman is 100% yours doesn’t read well, imo. It’s good that she loves the kid, but she should keep her mouth shut. It sounds disrespectful, like Bridget doesn’t exist for her.
WHY DOES SHE GIVE A **** IF HES CATHOLIC?
PRETTY SURE SHE HATES EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR RIGHT?
LOL WAT A ****** CONFUSED ONE.
Gisele is amazingly beautiful..inside and out!
I hate that Gazelle is always harping on the envroment and being a good parent. Its very u do not see Tom b4 je was hurt with the baby. But we do see him walking the dog’s Gazell’s. But Bridget may not have let him go at that time. We don’t no what happened
