In a recent interview with Vanity Fair for their April issue, the former Victoria’s Secret angel finally set the record straight on why she and Brady called it quits after 13 years of marriage together.
“Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,” she said. “When I was 26 years old, and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.”

Along with that, Bündchen also set the record straight that she wants nothing but the best for Brady! “Listen, I have always cheered for him, and I would continue forever,’ she said. ‘If there’s one person I want to be the happiest in the world, it’s him, believe me,” she said. “I want him to achieve and to conquer. I want all his dreams to come true. That’s what I want, really, from the bottom of my heart.”
