The former runway sensation—who is now married to a top NFL quarterback—bid farewell to her modeling career with a final walk at Sao Paolo Fashion Week. “I’m thankful that I embarked on this journey at 14,” she shared on Instagram. “After two decades in the industry, it’s a true honor to choose my last fashion show.” Cue the tears.
However, I have a feeling this isn’t the last we’ll hear from Mrs. Brady—she’s quite the expert, often sharing self-satisfied parenting advice that’s as easy to digest as backstage diet pills. Gisele tends to stir up debates every time she speaks, especially regarding topics like pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth. Here are some of her most talked-about moments:
On Staying Fit During Pregnancy
Mia revealed to Vogue back in 2010 that she maintained her fitness routine while pregnant, practicing yoga and kung fu “up until two weeks” before giving birth. “I think many people get pregnant and feel they can eat anything,” she remarked. “I was aware of my choices and only gained 30 lbs.” Wow, right?
On Breastfeeding
“Some people in the U.S. believe they can skip breastfeeding, and I wonder, ‘Will you really feed your child chemical food when they’re so little?’” she infamously stated in Harper’s Bazaar UK. Three years later, she took her baby to get their ears pierced, which I guess is better than feeding them unnatural food. “In my opinion, there should be a global law requiring mothers to breastfeed for at least six months,” she added. Interesting perspective.
On Giving Birth
Mia chose to have both her children at home, in her bathtub, without any medication. Just ask her. “I had the chance to experience the beauty of natural childbirth; it was one of the most transformative moments of my life,” she wrote on her blog. Fair enough. But then she followed up with the claim that natural childbirth “didn’t hurt at all.” Really? “You can throw anything at me, and I can handle it,” she asserted in the documentary The Business of Being Born. “I can do it. Just tell me what.”
Maybe it’s time to consider a little less talk, huh?
