Gisele Bündchen has always wanted to expand her brood!
The model, 44, who is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente and shares two kids with ex-husband Tom Brady, previously spoke about her dreams for motherhood.
“I want to have a big family,” Bündchen told Harper’s Bazaar in March 2009.
“My parents have been together for 36 years, and that is what I want. I am in that place. It’s all good in that part of my life. It’s one part of my life that I’m learning about every day. I’ve been challenged a lot by it, but it’s the most rewarding part.”
During that same interview, Bündchen spoke about Brady’s now 17-year-old son, Jack.
“I love kids,” she said regarding the teenager that Brady shares with his ex, Bridget Moynahan.
“It’s amazing that I have the opportunity to hang out with my stepson all the time.”
Despite later welcoming two kids with the NFL alum, Bündchen told the outlet that she “wasn’t ready” to settle down a few years prior to marrying Brady.
“I was drinking a lot of red wine, smoking a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, and eating cheeseburgers all day,” she said over a decade ago.
“I was treating my body, which is my temple and my best friend, as my worst enemy. I was almost punishing myself. I was so tired. I was working so much, and I was numb.”
She then advised that, “If you are happy, you can give happiness. If you don’t love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can’t give anything else but that.”
