‘I’ve hardly brushed my hair’

Gisele Bündchen is back! The model and Brazilian icon has starred in her first cover shoot since welcoming her third child, opening up about wellness, motherhood, and the challenges and blessings of parenting a newborn. 

Bündchen was featured on the cover of Vogue France, revealing that being on set and back to modeling felt like a “vacation.” 

“Having my hair and make-up done makes me feel like I’m on vacation: with a baby, the nights are so short that I’ve hardly brushed my hair in recent months!” she laughed. 

“Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my routine,” says Bündchen. “As any new mom knows, it’s incredible how much sleep—or lack of it—can change everything!”

Bündchen concluded that she feels incredibly grateful for having the chance to spend so much time with her newborn and kids. “I feel truly grateful: being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless,” she said.

Bündchen feels ready to get back to work

In the interview, Bündchen revealed that she feels happy with the moment that she’s living through, feeling grateful to be back to work while having a “better understanding” of her priorities. She also shared that she feels more comfortable in her own skin, something that has sprinkled in through different facets of her life. 

Bündchen was featured in the wellness issue, something that she has made one of her life’s biggest priorities. “To me, wellness goes far beyond physical health. It’s not just about what you eat or how you move, it’s also about how you feel, think, and live,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

“It’s in your thoughts, your habits, the boundaries you honor, and the inner peace you protect. True wellness is about embracing, honoring, and nourishing every part of who you are.” 

Wellness has been something that Bündchen has truly embraced over the past year, limiting her social media exposure and focusing on the things that matter most in her life.
