Gisele: Tom's Son Feels 100% Like My Own

Bubbly Bündchen says she wants a big family

(Newser) – Days before marrying Tom Brady last month in a secret ceremony, Gisele Bündchen opened up to Vanity Fair about her relationship. "I knew right way—the first time I saw him," she says of meeting the star QB in 2006. "From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other.” But there have been challenges—like the news that Brady's ex was pregnant.

Bridget Moynahan broke the news when Bündchen and Brady had been dating less than 3 months. But now, “I think it was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of," the supermodel says. As for Brady's son,
“I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100%. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day.” Still, she wants lots of kids, her own and adopted. "I will have a colorful family."
