SafeX Pro Exchange|Gisele Bündchen Details "Different Ritual" With Her Kids After Tom Brady Divorce

Like any mom,SafeX Pro Exchange Gisele Bündchen is busy. 

And recently, the supermodel—who shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex-husband Tom Brady—gave fans a glimpse at her morning routine with her kids. 

"My life is a little different," Gisele told WSJ. Magazine in an interview published March 18 for its My Monday Morning series. "I have my kids sometimes, sometimes I don't have my kids. There's a different ritual when I'm with them and when I'm not." 

For her, that ritual includes starting the day on a peaceful note. As Gisele—who splits her time between Florida and Costa Rica—explained to the publication, she'll wake up at around 5 a.m., drink lukewarm water with a little lemon and Celtic salt, stretch for 15 minutes, meditate for another 15, and then walk and feed her dog. And this tranquility plays a crucial part in how she approaches the rest of her day.     

"When my kids are with me, they have so many activities," the former runway star added. "It's difficult to manage my schedule and their schedule. The most important thing for me every day is to put the oxygen mask on me first."

And while not every day can be stress-free, Gisele strives to maintain a sense of positivity. 

"To live in a state of gratitude is like a protection in your life," she continued. "We can look at things like, why is this happening to me? I believe we are here because we all have something to learn and to evolve and to grow. When I look back, the biggest, most challenging experiences in my life were all happening for me. They showed me that I was stronger than I thought I was."

One of the challenges Gisele has faced following her split from Tom is navigating co-parenting.

"There's easier days than others," the Nourish author, who filed for and finalized her divorce from the former quarterback in 2022, admitted during an ABC News sit-down Robin Roberts earlier this month. "But I think it's amazing that the kids—they're super smart children. They know what they can get away with. So, I think it's natural that it has different rules, and then kids just adapt and they're going to try to do what they want. And I can only control what I do."

And ultimately, she said it's about balance. 

"Now, Tom has time with them, and I have time with them," Gisele added, "which I think is amazing because they get to really experience, again, more enriching for their lives—two different worlds, and they get to learn from two different worlds. And that's wonderful for them I think."

In addition to co-parenting Benjamin and Vivian with Gisele, Tom shares 16-year-old son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan. To see some of their family photos from over the years, keep reading.

Gisele Bündchen shared this family photo on Instagram on Tom Brady's son Jack's 14th birthday, writing, "Happy birthday Jack! We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you for being the best big brother in the world. We love you soooo much!"

While wearing his Christopher Cloos x Brady sunglasses, Tom celebrates his Super Bowl win with daughter Vivian during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers boat parade. 

After winning his seventh Super Bowl, the Tampa Bay quarterback celebrated with his daughter Vivian.

Tom snuggled with his kids John "Jack" Moynahan (with ex Bridget Moynahan), Vivian and Benjamin in this adorable photo snapped by Gisele on Father's Day.

Brady went from quarterback to coach with his son on the beach, writing on Instagram that he's "#dadsfavoriteworkoutpartner."

Gisele shared this adorable photo on Instagram of Tom giving his son a kiss on the forehead.

The whole Brady-bünch posed together at the Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta ahead of the Super Bowl LIII, which the Patriots later won.

Tom lurked as Pennywise the Dancing Clown in a window behind his family as they celebrate Halloween in 2018.

As Tom geared up for another football season, he stopped to give his daughter a little love and clearly this one has her dad's full attention.

In July 2018, the Brady bunch headed out of town for a family vacation and they couldn't look any happier on their horseback riding adventure.

Tom celebrated Father's Day with a family dinner and lots of silly photos with his younger son, Ben. 

There's nothing sweeter than seeing the greatest quarterback of all time (he has seven Super Bowl rings) get smothered in love by his three kids.

Even though it was springtime, Tom bundled up with Ben for a fun day outside...complete with a little training.

Tom Brady as the Easter bunny? Who would've guessed?!

The super sweet family was all smiles during one of Brady's episodes of Tom vs. Time.

After playing in another Super Bowl, Tom took a little break with his family, complete with burger time and selfies.

Even though the Patriots lost the 2018 Super Bowl, Tom had his support squad ready and waiting to cheer him up.

Ahead of Super Bowl LII, the Patriots QB posed for pictures with his whole family including Gisele and oldest son Jack, second-born Ben, and daughter Vivian.

The New England Patriots quarterback showed his second oldest son a little love on his birthday in December of 2017, writing, "Happy Birthday to the sweetest 8 year old boy a mom and dad could ever ask for! So filled with love and joy! We are so proud of you Benny! And you shine a light that brightens our lives every day! We love you."

Vivian was the ultimate sous chef as her dad made her biscuits before Thanksgiving and really, what can't Brady do?

The dynamic duo of Tom and Ben spent a November day swinging in a hammock together and we really wish we had some R&R like this in our near future.

Leave it to Tom to teach his son more than just football. 

The Brady crew rolled around in the grass and enjoyed spending time together in June 2017 and it really does look like they are having a blast.

Who says you're too old to make funny faces?

When the Patriots headed back to Boston for their parade celebration after their 2017 Super Bowl win, Tom brought Ben along for the ride making him the coolest dad around.

Winning the Super Bowl in 2017 was great, but getting to celebrate with your daughter on the field is priceless. 

In 2017, Vivian gave her dad a big good luck kiss before he headed out for a game. Seriously, these two are so stinking cute.

Tom's fans span near and far, but his biggest fans are his three kids and their "Brady" jerseys continually make us love them even more as a unit.

Decorating the Christmas tree is twice as fun when you have your precious daughter helping you out...especially when she's dressed as a fairy!

The football player loves to spend his off time with his adorable kiddos at the beach and we totally approve.
