“12 weeks gone” — Billionaire Boyfriend Jeff Soffer confirms he’s responsible for Tom Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bundchen pregnancy
“I would be with [Brady’s] friend,” Bündchen said of Soffer. “I would be with this guy. I mean, puh-leeze. They were saying I’m with this guy, he’s old, because he’s got money—it’s ridiculous.” In a strange play of event, Soffer have confirmed to close friends and family members that he’s responsible for Bündchen’s pregnancy and that the two have been seeing each other for a while.
The rumors around Bündchen’s love life have been swirling since she and Brady finalized their divorce, following 12 years of marriage. And while some believed that the divorce stemmed from Brady’s decision to keep playing in the NFL after previously retiring, Bündchen told Vanity Fair that there was much more to their split than that — and confirmed she’s still rooting for him.
Calling the buzz over their divorce “very hurtful” and “the craziest thing I’ve ever heard,” Bündchen said of her ex-husband, “Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever.” “If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me,” she added. “I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”
The Brazilian fashion icon lamented over how “people really made” their split “about” his back-and-forth decision on retirement. “What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle,” Bündchen added later in her conversation with the magazine. “It’s not so black and white.”
In their case, she explained, they “wanted different things” compared to when they met in their 20s. “Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,” she said. “When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together.” “As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make,” the model continued.
And while it “doesn’t mean you don’t love the person,” Bündchen said, “It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It’s a dance. It’s a balance.” “When you love someone, you don’t put them in a jail and say, ‘You have to live this life,’ ” she added. “You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly the same direction, then that’s amazing.”
