Tom Brady Details Magazine September 2009

 

Tom Brady is on thecover of the September issue of Details magazine where he chats about fame, family and also reveals that he and his wife, Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, met on a blind date after one of his friends told him she was the ‘girl version’ of him:

On his and Gisele’s fame:  “I think my wife and I, we probably enjoy staying home more than most . . . I’m glad they didn’t have those camera phones seven or eight years ago [referring to his wilder single days]. When I go out now, I just watch what I’m doing.”

On wanting more kids: “You march to your own beat for so long. It’s like, an hour commitment used to be a big commitment, and now you chase a little boy around for eight hours a day, waiting to catch him if he falls and changing his dirty diaper. You think, How crazy is this? I want a lot of kids. I’d love four or five. We’ll see. It’s not always my decision.”

On ex and baby mama Bridget Moynahan being pregnant while he dated Gisele:  “That’s not how you envisioned your life, that’s not how you envisioned having children, but it happens. But you’re not talking about a tragic event. You’re talking about a life. It’s what happens. And that’s forced me to grow up in a lot of ways, and in a lot of ways I’ve learned about the people around me, learned about my wife and about how important she is in my life, through this. You see what she’s really about. Because that’s not what she wanted either. But once again, it’s . . . I just don’t think . . . life is not what everyone . . . Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That’s not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that’s what life needs to be — and that if it’s not that, it’s all screwed up. It’s not. You go through life and you try the best you can.”
