Gisele Bündchen, the iconic supermodel, has a clear priority in life: family. She’s a mother to Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, kids she co-parents with her ex, Tom Brady. The values she grew up with, thanks to her own mom, are what she’s keen on passing down to her children.
In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Gisele shared some wisdom. “You are where you come from,” she stated, emphasizing the impact of her upbringing. The lessons she learned as a child have stayed with her, shaping her into the person she is today.
She admits, though, it’s not always smooth sailing. There’s occasional “pushback” from the kids. But Gisele is resolute. She feels she owes it to her children to instill in them the values her mother taught her.
Gisele’s approach to parenting isn’t just about values, though. She also emphasizes the importance of family time. In a chat with E! News last December, she shared her belief that time is the most valuable thing one can have. She sees it as the ultimate currency.
The key to wellness, according to Gisele, is spending time with loved ones. This, she says, brings joy. And joy, she adds, is something you can’t forget.
