Gisele Bundchen Vanity Fair May 2009

Gisele Bundchen gets candid about her new husband Tom Brady and her stepson John in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair. The Brazilian beauty says she loves John - Brady’s love child with Bridget Moynahan - “as if he were mine.”  " I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day," she says. Here's more:

• On falling in love with Tom: "I knew right way-the first time I saw him. We met through a friend. The moment I saw him, he smiled and I was like, That is the most beautiful, charismatic smile I’ve ever seen! We sat and talked for three hours. I had to go home for Christmas, but I didn’t want to leave. You know that feeling of, like, you can’t get enough? From the first day we met, we’ve never spent one day without speaking to each other."

• On finding out Tom's ex Bridget Moynahan was pregnant: "It was definitely a surprise for both of us. In the beginning you’re living this romantic fantasy; you’re thinking, This can’t be true, it’s so good! And then, Whoops-wake-up call! We were dating two and a half months when he found out, and it was a very challenging situation. Obviously, in the beginning, it’s not the ideal thing. . . I think it was a blessing, because otherwise I don’t think I would have known what he was made of, and he wouldn’t have known what I was made of. . . Our relationship has become so much stronger, and I think I wouldn’t be as certain as I am today if it weren’t for that."

• On Tom Brady's son John: "I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that’s important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine. I already feel like he’s my son, from the first day."
