DeGeneres, 60, asked the mother of two if her NFL star husband,Tom Brady, 41, has plans to retire. “I’m a [New Orleans] Saints fan and that would help me tremendously,” teased DeGeneres.
Bündchen responded, “I think you should talk with him about that. I haven’t been very successful. I want him to do whatever makes him happy, but maybe if you have a conversation with him — explain that you love the Saints.”
The star went on to say that she wouldn’t “want to have his job” because of the physical toll it takes, but at the end of the day, while “it’s definitely something that you get concerned [about] … he loves it so much, and you got to let him do what he loves.”
She also shared that the day she retires will be “the day I die.”
“I’m the farthest I’ve ever been from retiring,” she explained. “I’ve never worked so hard in my life actually. … I love working, I love creating. That’s why we’re here, to just keep creating and expanding and learning.”
Bündchen also joked with the host about going on a blind date with the New England Patriots quarterback — who is terrible at multitasking but amazing at making waffles, his wife revealed — right after she appeared onEllen12 years ago.
“I went on a blind date and I met my husband,” she quipped. “I think you may have been my good luck charm. Twelve years later, I’m very happy with how things turned out so I appreciate it.”
In addition to the book and two very successful careers, the model and her husband have plenty to celebrate at home. The couple’soldest child, Benjamin, turned 9 earlier this week, and mom and dad shared sweet birthday messages for him on social media.
