Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are #supercouplegoals. This Brazilian supermodel and American quarterback couple almost seems too pretty to be real. While many celebrity marriages seem to crumble after a few years, this one has lasted over a decade. This is their secret.
It may come as a surprise, but Gisele’s advice for a healthy marriage is incredibly simple: be attentive. Gisele believes that being present and in the moment is key to a lasting relationship. This comes in small but meaningful steps like putting the phone down when speaking to your partner and maintaining eye contact.
Speaking to The Guardian, the supermodel explains, “I’ve been with my husband for more than 12 years now and, as you know, men are very… They want a lot of attention. They’re like, they demand… They need a lot of attention, like children do, like your family, your friends. So I think the important part is to have fully present moments with everybody. I think that leads to fulfillment, because they don’t have half of you, they have all of you in that moment and then they get recharged.”
In 2019, the couple celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. Taking to Instagram, Gisele wrote, “I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since we’ve chose to walk this life together… and what incredible 10 years we’ve had! There is nothing that I love more in this world than you and our family. Thank you for being on this journey with me and for doing the work that it takes to make it so special. May we continue growing together, walking side by side supporting and loving one another for many many years to come. Te amo tanto❤”
