In the fast-paced world of the NFL, where headlines often focus on wins, losses, and locker-room drama, it’s easy to overlook the quieter forces shaping the personal lives behind the scenes. But Camille Kostek, longtime partner of Rob Gronkowski, hasn’t forgotten one of those quieter figures: Gisele Bundchen.
While Tom Brady may have been the face of New England football for two decades, even football-loving Brazil cheekily dubbed him “Giselo,” emphasizing how often he was recognized simply as “Gisele Bündchen’s husband.”
Tom Brady and Brooks Nader get carried away by “single life vibes”
The moniker stuck, a lighthearted nod to how the Brazilian supermodel often eclipsed her NFL legend husband in global fame.
Despite her stardom, Gisele kept a low profile around the Patriots’ inner circle. “Gisele did her own thing,” Camille Kostek explained. “She was married with kids, had a huge career, always traveling. I never knew where she was.”
Her life during Brady’s playing days was anything but traditional. While Tom led the Patriots and later the Buccaneers to glory, Gisele was conquering fashion, running multiple businesses, and raising two children – often from afar in New York or Miami.
A supermodel firmly grounded despite stardom
Even with a globe-spanning schedule that included walking the world’s top runways, attending Paris Fashion Week, and appearing on over 1,200 magazine covers, Gisele carried herself with warmth and humility.
“When we’d cross paths, she’d talk to me like we’d known each other forever.” That approachable nature extended beyond her social circle – she championed environmental causes as a UN ambassador and helped feed 10 million Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic alongside Tom.
She was always unapologetically herself. From home births for her children to gently suggesting retirement to Tom after the iconic 2017 Super Bowl, Gisele never let fame dictate her choices. And even when her relationship with Brady ended, she handled the split with poise.
In her now-famous Vanity Fair interview, Gisele described the divorce as “the death of my dream,” a rare moment of emotional vulnerability. She paused mid-conversation and asked softly, “Can I have a little moment?” That raw honesty didn’t come with resentment.
She quickly shut down rumors that Brady’s football obsession caused their breakup: “That’s just nonsense,” she said. And in a moment of true grace, added, “I’ll always want Tom to be happy. Always.”
Gisele’s new life of happiness after Brady split
Today, Gisele lives far from the spotlight she once commanded. She’s settled into a slower, more peaceful chapter in Miami with her partner Joaquim Valente and their newborn son, whom they welcomed in February 2025.
Friends say she’s never been more content. Her days are filled with yoga, school drop-offs, and barefoot walks on the beach with her children – Benjamin, Vivian, and baby River.
She’s embraced a life of stillness and simplicity, skipping red carpet events in favor of tending to her garden or cooking plant-based meals at home.
On social media, she rarely posts about fashion anymore, choosing instead to share quiet moments: a family hug on Mother’s Day, baking sessions with her kids, or harvesting vegetables together. “Being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless,” she said.
In a world that often defines women by who they’re with or what they wear, Gisele Bundchen has chosen to define herself differently. And for those who once crossed paths with her – like Camille Kostek – the impression she left remains strong.
