Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has revealed that she considers TV host Ellen Degeneres her 'good luck charm' as she went on her first blind date with National Football League star Tom Brady right after she met her.

"I went on a blind date and I met my husband, so I think you might have been my good luck charm. Thank you! 12 years later, I'm very happy with how things turned out, so I appreciate it," Bundchen told Degeneres on her show recently.
