Gisele Bundchen Reveals Why She Won't Pressure Tom Brady Into Retiring

Gisele Bundchen looks as stunning as ever on the cover of WSJ. Magazine’s April Style & Design Issue.

Here’s what the 37-year-old supermodel had to share with the mag:

On her guilty pleasure, Dunkin Donuts munchkins: “Oh, my God. I cannot have one. I have to have, like, 10. They’re so tiny…. It’s a guilty pleasure.”

On her husband, quarterback Tom Brady, and not pressuring him to retire: “He’s so focused right now. He has a laser focus on just winning and being the best, and I said, ‘You know what? This is what you’re doing right now in your life, and you need to feel complete in it, because if I’m the one who comes and says something and then you make a decision based on something that I said-’” He’d resent it? “Yeah, and I would never in my life, ever. I want him to be happy. Believe me, I’ve been with him when he’s losing. Try to be with him after you have lost [Super Bowls]. I mean, I had my fair share, OK? As long as he’s happy, he’s going to be a better father, he’s going to be a better husband, and I just want him to be happy. I do have my concerns, like anyone would.” 


On her family dinners: “No phone, no electronics,” she says. “Let’s be present. Let’s share. That’s the most important thing for me…. I come from a family of eight”—Bündchen, who grew up in southern Brazil, has five sisters “and it was the best time when we all sat together. Everybody would want to talk. My dad would be like, ‘Raise your hand.’”
