And for the Gisele, that includes a central focus on self-care in order to be the best parent possible.
“As a mother, you’re always giving,” she told Vogue in May 2017. “It’s important to give something to yourself, so you can give from a place of being full, instead of giving from a place of being depleted, which isn’t healthy for you or for the family.”
Gisele—who was married to Tom from 2009 to 2022—has had a long time to reflect on the art of motherhood, having credited the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s 18-year-old son Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan, for giving her an early glimpse into motherhood.
“I got to experience how it is to feel, to be a mom before I was even a mom—to be a bonus mom," Gisele said in a March interview with Nightline. "So, I got to experience how my heart could feel that love and just expand in ways I never thought were possible.”
These days, she's even more aware of the importance of loved ones, writing on Instagram in October, "There's only one thing more precious than our time... it's who we choose to spend it with."
