Gisele is one of those Supermodels that has it all; looks, body, a multi-million dollar modeling career, and football player husband, Tom Brady, the quarterback for the New England Patriots.

From covers of Vogue to ad campaigns from Rock N’ Republic to Gucci, Gisele is one of the top paid Supermodels in the world with an estimated $150 million fortune, $35 million of which she made last year alone.

In this month’s Vanity Fair, Gisele gets candid in her interview, discussing her relationship with her other half and her feelings about love and relationships in general. Though she’s written off as an airhead supermodel, Gisele does have some wise advice.

On Love: “My idea of that is you have a partner who’s got your back. When I’m weak, you can be strong; when I’m strong, you can be weak. That’s what I believe marriage is. Loving someone, you want to grow with them, share with them, share the same values, the same feelings about things, the same beliefs.”

On Buddhism: Originally raised in a large Catholic family, Gisele has incorporated Buddhist philosophies into her life. She says, “Ok, Catholic Religion, we’ve got to update.”

On Tom’s Son: “I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent.”

Knowing When to Slow Down: “When I was working every day I was completely detached from my emotions, and I didn’t know the toll it was taking on me,” she says. “I was traveling everywhere, not having stability. I was very abusive of myself. I wouldn’t sleep; I was eating junk food every day and working 10 to 12 hours. No wonder! How much can your body take? I felt overwhelmed by the whole thing.
