It's Official: Supermodel Gisele Bündchen Retiring From the Runway (Tom Brady's wife)
People Magazine ^ | 4/13/2015 AT 08:01 PM ET

First she was. Then she wasn’t. Now she’s officially hanging up her heels. According to a report in a Brazilian newspaper, Gisele Büdnchen is stepping down from her catwalk duties to focus on her editorial work.

“Automatically, my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop. I respect my body, it’s a privilege to be able to stop,” she says, according to a report picked up by Yahoo!. And it doesn’t surprise us that the woman who once said she didn’t want to treat her body like a “garbage disposal” during her pregnancy is incredibly in-tune with what that body wants. “I’ve learned to listen to my body,” she reportedly said.

She won’t be laying low, though, according to the report. “I don’t see how to continue [modeling on the catwalk],” she said ?”and stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself.” And boy, does she have a lot of projects. Last year she racked up at least 16 campaigns, handily earning her the title of Forbes’s highest-paid model, who reportedly raked in about $47 million in 2014. So yeah, we don’t think her runway retirement will hurt her too badly.

Too bad for you. My wife looks just like Giselle, but does not have the supermodel ego. ;-)

“Automatically, my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop.

I'm assuming that what she means is that the diet and exercise regimen that keeps her in runway-shape, is incompatible with a healthy pregnancy.

Why do runway models always look angry?

You’d look angry too if your feet hurt and you couldn’t eat.

I’m glad she’s happy with Brady. She started dating him after I broke up with her.

Or the super model bank account.

Tom Brady net worth $120 million.

Gisele Bündchen net worth $320 million.

Imagine being a top tier pro athlete
And your pay is chump change compared to your wifes.
