Gisele Bundchen revealed that she is retiring from modeling! Surprisingly, her children were not cited as the reasons for her early retirement from the fashion industry. The mom of two confessed that her health was the main reason for her early retirement decision, as revealed in Daily Mail UK.
The 34-year-old beauty revealed in a Saturday interview with Folha de Sao Paulo that, "Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop."
"[I have to] respect my body, it's a privilege to be able to stop," she explained.
Bundchen announced her modeling retirement just last month, as revealed by US Magazine. The Colcci Fashion Show was allegedly the last runway event Bundchen would participate in.
Tom Brady's wife's retirement maximizes full-time mom duties to their kids, Benjamin, 5, and Vivian, 2. In fact, the soon-to-be former supermodel was seen with her little ones in a playground in Manhattan, New York just 24 hours after she made her retirement announcement.
However, she leaves her door open for other career opportunities, even after retiring from her two-decade runway occupation. She remained hopeful and said, "I don't see how to continue [modeling on the catwalk] and stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself.'"
The model made it clear though that she planned to still do modeling for her print and commercial gigs. Bundchen was named as the top earning fashion model for eight consecutive years. Forbes cited that she earned $47 million the previous year in the fashion industry. Among Bundchen's endorsements were Chanel, Under Armour, Pantene, H&M, and Carolina Herrera.
Meanwhile, NFL New England Patriots player and husband, Brady, does not plan to retire from his profession soon, as reported in Daily Mail.
In a Salesforce World Tour interview, Brady revealed his plans as to where to raise his kids where he said, "[Boston] is where my kids were born, where they'll be raised." The NFL quarterback added, "I'll be a lifer here [Boston]."
Brady is also a dad to seven-year old son, John, in addition to Benjamin and Vivian. John is Tom's son with ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan.
Brady and Bundchen met on a blind date in 2006. After dating for three years, they married in 2009, as indicated in The Huffington Post.
In an interview in the March 2015 Vogue UK issue, Bundchen shared, "I knew Tom was the one straightaway."
"I could see it in his eyes that he was a man with integrity who believes in the same things I do."
