Gisele Bundchen breaks down in tears over ‘death of a dream’ Tom Brady divorce – but star

Gisele Bundchen broke down in tears as she reflected on her divorce from Tom Brady in a candid new interview.

The supermodel, 43 – who was recently spotted kissing jitsu instructor boyfriend Joaquim Valente  – was seen tearing up in a teaser clip from her upcoming interview with Robin Roberts, IMPACT x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain.

Bundchen started dating the NFL star, 46, in 2007 and was with him for more than a decade before they confirmed they were divorcing in October 2022. They share two children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11.

But while Bundchen has clearly moved on from the romance with her new jiu jitsu trainer partner, she couldn’t help but show her sadness when Roberts asked her about the split – remarking that the supermodel had likened her divorce to ‘the death of a dream’.  

Roberts then asked: ‘How are you?’ with Bundchen responding: ‘Well, when you say…’ before breaking down.
