I guess this Brazilian fashion model doesn't need a special introduction. She became the first in a wave of Brazilian models to find international success, worked for best brands in industry, appeared in covers of top fashion magazines, done various campaigns, has been a Victoria's secret Angel and since 2004 she is the highest-paid model in the world.
Privately. After a 5 year relationship with actor Leonardo DiCaprio she started dating a New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in December 2006. They got married in 2009 and have two children together: a son Benjamin (3 and a half years) and a daughter Vivian (half a year old). Tom also has a son John (aged 6) from a previous relationship.
Last month she promoted her new lingerie line Gisele Bundchen Intimates in Brasil.
You may also know that in 2001 Gisele launched the Ipanema Gisele Bündchen, her own line of flip-flop sandals in association with the official Ipanema brand of flip-flops.
You may also find interesting that...
- she has five sisters;
- as the year 2000 approached, Gisele was the world's hottest model, opening up a new category in the popular imagination: the Brazilian bombshell;
- she is the fourth model in history to grace the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine;
- she had supporting roles in Taxi (2004) and The Devil Wears Prada (2006);
- in 2012 The Hollywood Reporter stated that Gisele became C&A's biggest booster in Brazil and even helped with European sales;
- she is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and active in charitable activities;
- she was ranked #5 on the most successful Brazilian Business Women list and number 16 on the Forbes most successful female entrepreneurs list.
Happy Birthday Gisele, best of luck with new challenges and projects!
