Gisele hates being called a stepmother

Gisele Bundchen

NFL star Tom Brady-s model wife Gisele Bundchen has spoken about mothering her husband-s kid from his previous relationship and admitted she doesn-t like the term stepmother. Gisele, 39, is co-parenting Brady-s kid - John Edward Thomas, 12 - from ex-wife and actress Bridget Moynahan.

"I don-t like the word stepmom. I like the word bonus mom because I feel like it-s a blessing in my life. I feel so lucky that I got to have an extra wonderful little angel in my life," Gisele said during a chat with her fans on Instagram. Gisele, who is married to the New England Patriots quarterback since 2009, has two kids - son Benjamin Rein, 10, and daughter Vivian Lake, seven.

Gisele also said there is no secret to managing time with her children. "I think we just try our best to be present with the kids when we are with them. It-s not so much [about] the amount of time. It-s the quality of time." she explained.
