But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too.” In a follow-up to the interview, Bündchen was asked about the reports of her and Brady talking some time appear but declined to comment. However, she told Elle about her plans for the future. 

“I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom],” she said. “I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams. Seeing my children succeed and become the beautiful little humans that they are, seeing him succeed, and being fulfilled in his career—it makes me happy. At this point in my life, I feel like I’ve done a good job on that. …I have a huge list of things that I have to do, that I want to do. At 42, I feel more connected with my purpose.”  

Bündchen also talked about raising the couple’s two children — Vivian, 9, and Benjamin, 12. She also helped raise Brady’s stepson Jack, 15, whose mother is Brady’s ex Bridget Moynahan. I’m so grateful to have been there in those moments that were really shaping who they are as people,” Bündchen said.
