Moving on! Insiders share how Gisele Bündchen is living it up after her painful divorce from Tom Brady

A FRESH Start

Gisele Bündchen made quite a splash at the 2023 Met Gala on May 1. During her first appearance at the event without her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady, since 2006, the supermodel was in top form, smiling and twirling on the red carpet in a vintage white Chanel column gown and matching feathered cape. “She picked the dress because it made her feel free and powerful,” says one source. Adds a second: “Everyone was talking about how radiant Gisele looked. She was the life of the party and clearly sent the message that she’s ready to spread her wings.”

It’s been just over six months since Bündchen, 42, and Brady, 45, filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage. (The former couple share son Ben, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10.) The Victoria’s Secret Angel found it’s a process to rebuild her life, but sources tell Us she’s getting into a groove and is excited about what the next chapter holds. “Gisele is proud of herself for finding the courage to do the right thing for herself and for Tom,” says the second source. “There have been some hard times when she’s missed him terribly, but she’s focused on living her best life.”

SAD ENDING
