She was spotted by a modeling agent as a teenager, made her New York Fashion Week runway debut in 1996 and became one of the most recognised models in the world by the end of the decade. Britannica and Biography.com both describe her as one of the defining supermodels of the late 1990s and 2000s.

Gisele Bündchen married NFL quarterback Tom Brady in 2009. They have a son, Benjamin, born in 2009, and a daughter, Vivian, born in 2012. They announced their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. In February 2025 she welcomed a third child, a son, with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Gisele Bündchen has described her routine in her 2018 book and in later interviews. It changes over time, and the details below are her own accounts, not medical advice. A common thread is variety, outdoor time and rest. If you like beauty and wellness profiles, Alessandra Ambrosio and Krissy Cela are good next reads.
Business Insider’s summary of her book says she started yoga and meditation after panic attacks in her twenties, and that hatha yoga is her favourite style. Women’s Health reported in 2023 that she has practised yoga and breathwork since her early twenties. In a 2024 interview she said she wakes around 5 a.m. to meditate.
She has said she likes to be active in nature. In her book she mentions horse riding, skiing and surfing, finishing surf sessions with sun salutations, and in a 2024 interview she listed surfing, swimming, horseback riding and volleyball. Women’s Health also noted paddleboarding and kayaking and a morning jog of about three miles with her dog.
Women’s Health reported in 2023 that she trains jiu-jitsu three times a week. Business Insider’s 2018 piece lists kickboxing among the methods in her book.
In a 2024 interview she said she works out six days a week, loves Pilates because it helps her core after back surgery, and does weights and cardio about two days a week each. In 2023 she described lifting light weights with more repetitions, stretching for a few minutes every hour on busy days and treating rest as important. She also said she goes to bed around 10 p.m.
