Gisele Bundchen reveals son has been bullying over decision not to play football like dad Tom Brady

Gisele Bundchen revealed her 13-year-old son Benjamin endured bullying in Boston for not wanting to follow his father Tom Brady’s footsteps on the football field. 

While his older brother, Jack, whose mother is Bridget Moynahan, has already begun quarterbacking for his high school football team, the model, 42, told Vanity Fair that her teen prefers ‘non-ball’ sports, like surfing, jujitsu and skiing as well as drawing on his iPad.

The Brazilian beauty then vaguely reference ‘one particular’ bullying incident that occurred after one of Benjamin’s baseball game.

Bundchen did not go into any further details, but her former spouse previously spoke about how his firstborn Jack ‘loves sports’ while Benny ‘likes different things.’

‘[Jack] wants to try hard, and he never wants to disappoint his dad,’ Brady told Men’s Health in 2019. 

He continued: ‘I’d wake up early on the weekends to do stuff with my dad. That’s why I didn’t party a lot. If Dad wanted to golf, I wanted to be there with him. And if I ever missed those things, it would crush me.’ 

Despite initially assuming that his Benjamin ‘would be just like Jack’ and want to play football at his alma mater, the University of Michigan, Brady had to come to terms that he was simply not interested.

After trying to push him into playing, Brady said Gisele told him, ‘Would you effing understand that your son is different?’
