Gisele Bundchen loves Dunkin Donuts Munchkins: I have to have, like, 10
Gisele Bundchen covers the latest issue of WSJ. Magazine, which is paywalled for subscribers only. Thankfully, Gisele is always good for a quote, so there are big chunks of the interview online on other sites. Gisele is in a pretty good place right now – she’s retired from being a full-time model but she still has businesses and tons of other interests, plus she’s got two kids (three if you count Jack, which no, I don’t count Bridget Moynahan’s son). Basically, her biggest concern these days is when Tom Brady is going to retire and whether or not she can get a steady supply of Munchkins from Dunkin Donuts.
Her love of Dunkin Donuts Munchkins: “Do you know those things called Munchkins? Oh, my God. I cannot have one. I have to have, like, 10. They’re so tiny…. It’s a guilty pleasure.”
On Tom Brady’s retirement: “I’m entitled to have my concerns because my husband is the father of my children. If you don’t have your health, what do you have? [But] It’s not my decision to make. It’s his decision, and he knows it. It wouldn’t be fair any other way. He’s so focused right now. He has a laser focus on just winning and being the best, and I said, ‘You know what? This is what you’re doing right now in your life, and you need to feel complete in it, because if I’m the one who comes and says something and then you make a decision based on something that I said-’” He’d resent it? “Yeah, and I would never in my life, ever. I want him to be happy. Believe me, I’ve been with him when he’s losing. Try to be with him after you have lost [Super Bowls]. I mean, I had my fair share, OK? As long as he’s happy, he’s going to be a better father, he’s going to be a better husband, and I just want him to be happy. I do have my concerns, like anyone would.”
On her family dinners: “No phone, no electronics. Let’s be present. Let’s share. That’s the most important thing for me…. I come from a family of eight and it was the best time when we all sat together. Everybody would want to talk. My dad would be like, ‘Raise your hand.’”
She doesn’t dress or style Tom: “I’ve never in my life told him to wear anything. You should see our closets….It’s so funny. I would say that he likes fashion more than I like fashion. I would say he’s changed his haircut in one year more than I’ve changed in my whole life.”
Living in Boston: “There are deep roots—not to mention an emotional connection with a sports-mad region.” And she said she can’t do the accent but said, ‘I know “wicked awesome.”‘

Lord, I have not had a Munchkin in years! I’m so thankful that I don’t live close to a Dunkin Donuts, because I would probably eat those nonstop too. I think Gisele probably threw that in there just to look “normal,” like she doesn’t subsist on a diet of tree bark and pollen. She might have eaten a Munchkin once and it became, like, an anthropological lesson in Boston culture.
As for what she says about Tom and how he’s not retiring… “Believe me, I’ve been with him when he’s losing. Try to be with him after you have lost [Super Bowls]. I mean, I had my fair share, OK?” Oooh, she sounds… over it. Like, she’s concerned about his health, obviously, but she’s at the point where she’s not even going to fight with him about retirement because she’s already seen what a moody, morose bastard he can be when he’s not playing or when he’s losing. That statement wasn’t so much about “I love him and support him” as much as it is a statement of “I’m tired of having this fight with him, if he wants to give himself brain damage, it’s his call, not mine.”
