Gisele Bündchen’s “witch” rituals for Tom Brady resurface as their complicated divorce story takes another turn
Tom Brady himself spoke about them in 2019 while discussing his preparation before games. After the Patriots won Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, Brady said Bündchen told him, “You’re lucky you married a witch, I’m just a good witch. Brady and Bündchen married in 2009 and confirmed their divorce in October 2022 after nearly 13 years together.
Because i love astrology, I love crystals, I pray, I believe in the power of nature, then go ahead, she said, “If you want to call me a witch.
The subject now sits alongside fresh discussion of their divorce, which Bündchen once described as “a death and a rebirth,” while saying the end of their marriage was far more complicated than public reports suggested. Bündchen made a small altar for him with pictures of their children and gave him what he called “healing stones” and “protection stones, according to CBS News. Brady said he once thought the practice was unusual, but he eventually stopped questioning it. Bündchen later addressed the “witch” label herself in Vanity Fair. Speaking to Vanity Fair, she said the situation was not “so black and white” and explained that they had gradually grown apart. “It’s like a death and a rebirth,” Bündchen said.
Gisele Bündchen’s private rituals for Tom Brady have returned to the spotlight after a new review of Lars Anderson’s biography about the former NFL quarterback. The story about Bündchen’s rituals is not new. She also had him wear a necklace, take special drops she prepared and repeat mantras. He also recalled Bündchen telling him that he had to listen to her and do the work needed to win. She explained that she loves astrology, crystals and prayer and believes in the power of nature. Bündchen later pushed back against claims that Brady’s decision to return to football was the only reason their marriage ended. She also spoke openly about how painful the split was. She added, “You give everything you got to achieve your dream. You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t end up the way you hoped for, and worked for, but you can only do your part.”
Years earlier, Brady openly described the crystals, mantras, altar and special drops Bündchen used around his games.
