Gisele cried as she spoke about her divorce from Tom Brady in a TV interview.
The 43-year-old model split from the former footballer - with whom she has Benjamin, 14, and 11-year-old Vivian - in October 2022 and in the aftermath of the end of their marriage, she's admitted some days are "easier" than others when it comes to being a single parent.
Speaking to Robin Roberts in a preview for her upcoming 'IMPACT x Nightline' interview, she said: "Well, when you say..."
She then turned her face to wipe away tears and said: "Sorry, guys. I didn't know. Can I have a little moment?
"There's easier days than others. I can only control what I do."
Gisele has been romantically linked to her personal trainer Joaquim Valente but played coy about her dating situation in the preview.
When the subject was raised, she simply said: "Umm..."
But the Brazilian beauty acknowledged her past has made her realise what she is looking for.
She said: “Everything I’ve experienced, it made me realize what I want and what I don’t.
“At the end of the day, if you’re not truthful to who you are then it doesn’t work."
And Gisele is determined to live out her "truth".
She said in another clip: “Where my heart is now is, where I am right now is, I’m living my truth and I’m not apologising for it."
The former Victoria's Secret Angel previously insisted she doesn't worry about what people think of her.
She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “I can’t really worry about what other people say about me because what they say about me is none of my business.
“It’s really their business that they’re trying to project onto me.
“If I’m going to be affected by that, I’m never going to live my truth… when you’re trying to be this person who tries to please and tries to be accepted and tries to get that from the outside world, you’re never going to be truly who you are.”
