'A body I didn't recognize': Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bündchen says plastic surgery ruined her body image and left her feeling ashamed
Gisele Bundchen regrets her breast augmentation surgery (Image via her IG) Gisele Bündchen, one of the most iconic supermodels of all time, has always embodied beauty, success, and confidence. But behind the glamorous façade, the Brazilian star has faced deeply personal struggles — including a cosmetic procedure she later came to regret. While Bündchen continues to thrive as a wellness advocate and author, she hasn't shied away from being honest about the moments of insecurity that shaped her journey. Gisele Bündchen opens up about plastic surgery regret In her 2018 memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, Gisele Bündchen revealed she had breast augmentation surgery in 2015 after feeling self-conscious following childbirth. The model explained that after breastfeeding her two children — Benjamin in 2009 and Vivian in 2012 — one side of her chest appeared noticeably different. 'All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it,' she told People magazine. To maintain her privacy, Bündchen traveled to Paris and wore a burqa to conceal her identity. But her feelings after the procedure were anything but empowering. 'When I woke up, I was like, 'What have I done?' I felt like I was living in a body I didn't recognize,' she admitted. For over a year, she dressed in oversized clothing to hide her discomfort and emotional distress. Although her then-husband Tom Brady supported her, the decision haunted her for years. No longer chasing perfection: Gisele Bündchen turns to nature, balance, and mindfulness Now 44, Bündchen embraces a very different philosophy. She speaks openly about her commitment to natural beauty, wellness, and inner peace. 'I believe that outer beauty is a reflection of your inner balance and peace,' she said in an interview with Allure, emphasizing her preference for healthy routines over cosmetic fixes. Rather than chasing youth, the former Victoria's Secret Angel believes in aging gracefully. She sees wrinkles and lines as markers of a well-lived life. 'Aging is a beautiful thing and a natural part of life,' Bündchen shared. 'But it can also be challenging.' Her daily routine includes meditation, fitness, hydration, and organic skincare. She swears by coconut oil, rose water, lavender, and serums made from natural ingredients. 'It is very important to drink plenty of water and eat food that comes from the earth,' she told Vogue France.

With Reach For The Stars, Chanel high jewellery gets glamorous
The word 'glamour' has an interesting origin. It comes to us from the Scottish, who in the 1800s derived it from 'grammar'. The idea was that education and erudition, rare and arcane at the time, involved some degree of the magical and the mystical. So glamour became an act of illusion, of some kind of magical trick made to the appearance to mystify and allure. Earlier this month, Chanel introduced Reach For The Stars, its latest high jewellery collection, in the refined, old-world city of Kyoto. The French maison describes this new collection as 'glamour according to Chanel'. In its high jewellery collections, Chanel has explored and iterated on graphical signatures like tweed, lions, and comets—even sports!—but it hadn't yet taken on an abstract idea like glamour. Fortunately for the maison, it had a perfectly apt moment in its history to reference. That's the 1930s, when Gabrielle Chanel was invited by a Hollywood film studio to design costumes and outfits for its stars and starlets. And is there a world more adept at the kind of illusory, smoke and mirrors glamour than Hollywood? Fake worlds built on soundstages and sets; hair, makeup and costumes to turn actresses into larger than life characters; the play of light and shadow to tell grand stories to stir hearts; and the scale of a silver screen to make humans appear as demigods.

Courtesy of Chanel Gabrielle Chanel would spend only a little bit of time in Hollywood all told, but her vision has inspired the Chanel Fine Jewellery design studio. An independent woman, wearing unfussy evening dresses with pure lines and streamlined silhouettes. From America, she took on an understanding of how they wore their jewellery: simple but devastatingly chic cascades of diamonds, statement cocktail rings with stones that draw eyes, and imposing necklaces that themselves became the visual centre of a look. The Wings of Chanel masterpiece necklace, set with a Padparadscha sapphire. Courtesy of Chanel The necklace is set with a 19.55-carat cushion-cut Padparadscha sapphire. Reach For The Stars is a story of glamour told in three chapters. The most exciting is perhaps Wings, where Chanel is debuting a new visual motif in its jewellery. These wings are doubly inspired. First, by a Gabrielle Chanel quote on ambition from a September 1938 article in Vogue France: 'If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing'. Second, from a number of Hollywood film costumes that Chanel designed with winged details and silhouettes. The masterpiece of the collection, for instance, is named the Wings of Chanel. It's a necklace with a pair of diamond wings that unfold and wrap sensually around the neck. A line of diamond drops and buttons—evocative of the neckline of a dress—ends with an exceptional 19.55-carat Padparadscha sapphire in a perfect hue of salmony pink and orange. Dreams Come True necklace, with a line of black-coated gold and cascades of diamonds. Courtesy of Chanel The Dreams Come True necklace on view at the collection exhibition held in Kyoto. Courtesy of Chanel In the Comet chapter, Chanel expands on its most foundational design signature in jewellery. The first and only collection of high jewellery that Gabrielle Chanel herself designed was the 1932 Bijoux de Diamants, in which diamond creations were accented with stars and comets. A true standout, and this editor's favourite, is the Dreams Come True necklace. Chanel's Fine Jewellery Creation Studio sought to embody its black and white colour code in jewellery, and took inspiration from the sensual flou drape of an haute couture dress. Hence two woven chains of black-coated gold that trace a neckline, almost as if they were a rolled hem or a French seam. It's contrasted on its sides with a cascade of mixed-cut diamonds, scattered with the airiness of Chantilly lace. At its centre, a comet clasp set with a 6.06-carat DFL diamond. Sky Is The Limit ring in white and yellow gold, set with an emerald-cut 11.11-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond, and with white diamonds. Courtesy of Chanel The collection closes out its thematic triptych with the Lion, the astrological and lucky sign of Gabrielle Chanel. The symbolic strength and boldness of the lion is treated with delicate, masterful subtlety in Reach For The Stars. Chanel has, for example, rendered the lion's head in diamond-set openwork mountings, so that the leonine figure becomes an almost geometric suggestion. On the Sky Is The Limit suite, a vision of a winged lion emerges. The great cat is sculpted as an abstracted, open-worked motif flanked with a mane of marquise-cut and bezel-set round diamonds. On this cocktail ring, a centre stone with the luminous, leonine warmth: an impressive 11.11-carat emerald-cut Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond.

Gisele Bündchen flaunts stunning post-baby body during Florida outing
Gisele Bündchen is putting her figure on display just a few months after welcoming her third child. Last weekend, Bündchen was spotted during a paddleboarding session off the coast of Surfside, Florida. The model was wearing a white one-piece bathing suit with a brown visor and large sunglasses. Bündchen had a smile on her face in some of the photos as she glided through the water. Bündchen's outing comes after she gave birth to her first child with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in February. The duo's romance began after her divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady in 2022. Speaking with Vogue France, Bündchen admitted that her life looks a little different with a new baby. "Getting my hair and makeup done feels like I'm on vacation," she said. "With a baby, the nights are so short that I've barely brushed my hair in the last few months!" Despite the hustle and bustle, Bündchen remains optimistic. "With a baby, the nights are so short that I've barely brushed my hair in the last few months!" "Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control. As any new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep – or lack of it – can change everything!" she told the outlet. Bündchen appeared on the cover of Vogue France's June/July issue – just four months after giving birth. "I feel more comfortable in my own skin. And I have a clearer understanding of my priorities. I'm grateful for where I am. I feel like I've earned it," she admitted. Bündchen told the outlet that her favorite moments are spending time with her three kids at home. She shares Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with Brady. "Time at home with my kids is absolutely priceless," she said. Bündchen noted that following her shoot with Vogue, she was most excited to get back home to her "bundle of joy." Valente first came into the picture as a jiu-jitsu instructor for Bündchen and her son, Benny. Having been referred to the Valente Brothers academy through a friend, the supermodel told Dust magazine in 2022, "I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction. I thought he might be interested in this." The Brazilian beauty started studying jiu-jitsu herself in December 2021. "Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself," she said. "But when I brought [Benny] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense." After spending time as friends, Bündchen and Valente's relationship reportedly turned romantic in June 2023. "First, their relationship was teacher/student. Then… they became friends. And eventually, way after she was already divorced and she had no commitment to Tom Brady, something else started," a source previously told Fox News Digital of how their relationship progressed. The source added that Valente is an extremely charismatic person with "a great sense of humor" who is "very intelligent, very loving, he's just a good person," noting that "he loves kids." Brady and Bündchen announced their divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, in separate Instagram posts. "In recent days my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage," Brady wrote at the time. "We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve." Bündchen wrote, "The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always."

Gisele Bündchen is now $100 million richer than Tom Brady and it shows she's not just a supermodel but a business powerhouse
Gisele Bündchen beats Tom Brady in 2025 net worth race (Getty Images) When Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen ended their 13-year marriage in 2022, fans were quick to take sides. But while the public may have lingered on the drama, both stars quietly turned the page and started thriving in their own ways. Gisele, in particular, has stepped back into the spotlight with purpose—building on her legacy, expanding her empire, and making it clear that her best chapter might just be the one she's writing now. Gisele Bündchen's 2025 net worth proves she's winning more than just fashion runways While their fans continue to speculate on who "won" the divorce, the truth is both have forged remarkable post-divorce paths. But if wealth is the metric, Gisele has surged ahead—with purpose, passion, and a fortune that now outpaces even some of the NFL's biggest names. Following her split from Brady in 2022, Gisele wasted no time in reclaiming her space in the modeling industry and beyond. The Brazilian icon, who had paused her career to prioritize family, has come roaring back into the limelight. Just three months after welcoming a son with her new partner, Joaquim Valente, she's set to grace the cover of Vogue France's June/July 2025 edition—a moment that signals more than just a modeling comeback. This resurgence is part of a larger story. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Gisele earns approximately $40 million annually and boasts a net worth of $400 million. That figure puts her a full $100 million ahead of Tom Brady, whose fortune stands at $300 million with an annual income of $30 million. Even NFL legends like Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers trail her, despite Rodgers pulling in $50 million a year—his total net worth hovers around $200 million. The scale of Gisele's success is staggering. From 2001 to 2017, she reigned as the highest-paid model in the world for 14 consecutive years. Her earnings from modeling and endorsements have crossed $500 million, and her résumé features over 550 ad campaigns, more than 2,000 magazine covers, and upwards of 800 runway shows. But her empire stretches far beyond fashion. Gisele has built a brand that taps into lifestyle, wellness, and sustainability. Her eco-conscious skincare line, Sejaa, and her popular sandal brand, Ipanema, have become global hits. Her memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, was a bestseller and solidified her voice beyond the runway. Add in real estate investments across Miami, New York City, Costa Rica, and Montana—valued at over $100 million—and it's clear Gisele's wealth wasn't stumbled upon. It was architected. She also continues to earn royalties through long-term partnerships with luxury and wellness brands, providing a consistent flow of income without the need for high-profile gigs. Brady, of course, isn't fading into the background. With a $375 million broadcasting deal from Fox and investments in sports teams like the Las Vegas Raiders, Aces, and Birmingham City, he's positioned for long-term financial success. His TB12 brand's merger with fitness company NOBULL and endorsement deals with Delta Airlines and others keep his portfolio strong. Still, the numbers don't lie—Brady trails his ex-wife by a significant margin. In the end, both have emerged strong in their own right. But Gisele's post-divorce glow-up is not just emotional—it's financial. And it's a masterclass in reinvention.
