Gisele Bundchen revealed why raising children with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady is not the 'fairy tale' most people imagine it would be.

During a candid interview with British Vogue, the 45-year-old supermodel explained that it takes 'work to be really in sync with someone, especially after you have kids.' 

'His focus is on his career, mine is mostly on the kids,' she explained. 'And I’m very grateful that he lets me take the reins when it comes to our family. He trusts my decisions.'

The Brazilian beauty went on to explain how successful relationships 'don't just happen' and recalled times when they didn't always see eye to eye. 

'I remember, in the beginning, he wasn’t into the idea of home birth,' she told the magazine. 'He was like, ‘You’re not going to do that, because you’re going to die.'

Eventually after showing him multiple videos on home birthing, she says he got on board.  

'I made it clear that this is my body and I’m going to decide how I give birth,' the mother-of-two stated. 

She and the legendary quarterback, who married in 2009, share nine-year-old daughter Vivian Lake and 12-year-old son Benjamin. Tom also has a 14-year-old son named John Edward with ex Bridget Moynahan. 

In her new memoir, Lessons: My Path To A Meaningful Life, the author detailed how parenting has hurt her marriage as he trains up to 12 hours a day.

'When someone you love is happy, it makes you happy, or if they’re sad it makes you sad. You suffer with them and you have joy with them,' she wrote in her book.
