Gisele Bundchen celebrates her dad’s birthday with a throwback from her wedding to Tom Brady… as she tells him ‘I can’t wait to hug you again’
Gisele Bunchen marked her father’s birthday on Friday by posting a throwback image of him walking her down the aisle during her 2009 wedding to Tom Brady.
In a gushing post, she paid tribute to sociologist and writer Valdir Bündchen, who along with their bank clerk mother Vânia, raised Gisele and her five sisters.
Telling her father, ‘I can’t wait to hug you again’, she wrote in both Portuguese and English: ‘Happy birthday Dad! Your enthusiasm captivates everybody around you.
‘The optimistic way you choose to look at life has always been a huge inspiration to me, and everyone who knows you. You are truly one of a kind and I feel so lucky to be your daughter.’

Thank you for being an example of integrity, reliability, love, courage and commitment. Thank you for being our counselor, for leading the way, for always helping and encouraging all of us to make a difference.
