Tom Brady just finished his 23rd season in the NFL after losing 31-14 to the Dallas Cowboys in Monday’s NFC Super wild-card playoff round. However, Brady kept his composure in the post-game press conference and calmly stated that there can only be one winner. And former wife, Gisele Bündchen, is well aware of TB12’s Zen mentality.

In her book ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life,’ Gisele speaks in length about the many reasons she chose the then NE Patriots quarterback as her life partner. And Tampa Tom’s temperament and mental strength were some of the key factors for Bündchen. Also, there were a few more similarities between the power couple.

He even came out of his own retirement this year, ultimately leading to his divorce from Gisele in October. However, Bündchen would still agree that Brady complemented her perfectly when it came to maintaining health and fitness levels.
