Despite going on her blind date expecting a disappointment like all the previous ones, Bundchen told Vanity Fair that she knew Brady was the one that same night they first met. “The moment I saw him, he smiled, and I was like, ‘That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen!'” She also told Jimmy Fallon that the moment she felt his loving heart and kind eyes, she knew that she loved him.
Tom Brady was quick to return the same feelings, not just because he was dating one of the highest-paid supermodels in the world but also because of the great chemistry and communication they had. Gisele shared that from the day they met until they decided t break things up, the couple has not gone a single day without talking.
Gisele Liked Tom Brady Before She Ever Met Him
The Brazilian supermodel was asked in an interview way before she met Brady, what her thoughts were regarding the New England Patriots quarterback, who was dating Bridget Moynahan at the time. Not wanting to create a media scandal, Gisele admitted being attracted to Tom while making it clear that she was not interested in pursuing a man who was already in a relationship with another woman.
Bündchen reportedly told the Boston Herald back in December 2005, “Tom Brady, definitely not too shabby,” and added, "He’s cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he’s gay to me. There are too many men in the world to go after a man who has a woman. Life is too short." Time would show the supermodel that life has a funny sense of humor about love and relationships.
Gisele Was Eager to Find a Replacement for DiCaprio
During an interview with talk show host Jimmy Fallon, Gisele expressed her frustration trying to find love on blind dates after her 6-year-long relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio ended. The actress was also picking herself up like Brady and already went on several blind dates that didn’t turn out quite as she'd hoped.
At this point, the supermodel was tired of the regular dinner blind dates (frankly, who isn't?) and opted instead to have drinks with her unknown suitor so she could run away faster in case the spark wasn’t there. A mutual friend set up the date, and Gisele was committed that this would be her last blind date. Fortunately for her, you could say that this is exactly what happened!
Were Things Too Good to Be True?
The beautiful and successful couple dated for a while. Everything was going so well that Gisele said she felt it had to be too good to be true. Despite attempting to keep a relatively low profile, it’s hard for the world’s best quarterback and highest-paid supermodel to keep an inspiring relationship like this private.
Everything was amazing. It seemed like the couple couldn’t get their hands off each other, and we couldn’t get our eyes off them! Unfortunately, sometimes life turns around and gives you a kick in the butt, which is what happens when Tom gets a call from his ex, Bridget, that ends up changing the future of the three forever.
The Quarterback Discovered He’s Going to Be a Dad
A few weeks after their breakup, Moynahan discovered she was pregnant with Brady’s child. She called the quarterback to let him know that she was carrying a child and that he was, in fact, the father. Tom reacted as any award-winning athlete dating a supermodel would probably react; he was completely shocked.
Brady thought he had left the past behind and moved on after his heartbreaking breakup with Bridget. The New England Patriots quarterback was now dating the woman of his dreams, and his football career was flourishing. When asked by Brady what her plans were for the baby, the actress said she was ready to become a mother and had already decided to keep the baby. Now, Brady’s largest issue was how to break the news to his new love interest, Gisele.
