Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are one of the most beloved celebrity couples in the world, but their relationship almost fell apart before it even kicked off. Shortly after they started dating, their world was turned upside down when Brady’s ex Bridget Moynahan announced unexpected news.
It was the kind of thing that either makes you or breaks you, and Brady and Bündchen came out stronger at the end of the road and they became the ultimate power couple. But there was one obstacle they couldn’t overcome.
Before They Even Met
Gisele Bündchen obviously knew who Tom Brady was long before they met, but even though she thought he was cute, she had no interest in pursuing a relationship with him. Brady was dating someone else at the time and when a Boston Herald reporter asked Gisele what she thought of him, the famous model immediately made it clear she’s not interested in “stealing” someone else’s boyfriend.
“He’s cute, but if he has a girlfriend, he’s not for me. There are too many men in the world to go after a man who has a woman. Life is too short,” said Bündchen long before meeting her future husband.
