Gisele Bundchen considered walking away from Tom Brady in early 2007 after learning his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan was pregnant with his child.
The revelation is detailed in Lars Anderson's upcoming biography, Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness, set for release on September 23.
The news reached Bundchen while she and Brady were vacationing in France, only two months after they started dating in December 2006.
A Crossroads in France
Anderson describes Bundchen's emotional turmoil as she weighed whether to stay or leave.
She questioned whether to run away or fully embrace the relationship, according to the book.
The biography also notes that Bundchen contemplated suggesting Brady reconcile with Moynahan.
Despite her doubts, friends say Brady convinced her to remain, and she committed to helping raise his son, Jack.
In a 2023 Vanity Fair interview after their divorce, Bundchen reflected on the co-parenting journey.
She said her focus was always on supporting the family dynamic for Jack's well-being.
Bundchen explained she tried to put herself in Moynahan's shoes and asked how she could best support her.
She emphasized that everything in life requires work and overcoming challenges together.
