She has two children with Brady.

‘When I became a mom, I kind of lost myself. It was like a part of me died,’ she wrote. ‘I’d been this very independent person. It was all about me. But now I had this little being, and I suddenly felt l couldn’t do other things and that was very hard for me. All I ever wanted was to be a mom, but when you’re actually experiencing that, it’s a shock.’

The pair were married in 2009 and share two children together: Benjamin, 11, and Vivian Lake, eight. He additionally has a son John Edward, 13, with former partner Bridget Moynahan, but the two never married.

Brady recently told E!’s Jason Kennedy that marriage is always challenging, but what’s kept their spark alive is making time for each other.

‘Marriages…they ebb and they flow. I think the challenging part for us is we’re both very ambitious people, and a lot of the time I’m going in one direction and she’s going in the other like ships passing in the night,’ he began.  

Brady continued: ‘I think we just have to make sure we take time for one another, and if I think if you want it to get better and improve you’ve gotta communicate.’ 

He also told Howard Stern in an April 2020 interview that Gisele ‘wasn’t satisfied’ with the marriage, which prompted him to make changes and focus less on his career and more on his family.
