"There are some things as a parent you [explicit] up and you don't realize until after. We're not perfect parents. There's no perfect manual for it," he admitted.
The roast, which saw comedian Nikki Glaser quipping, "You have seven rings…well, right now that Gisele gave her backs," highlighted the delicate balance celebrities must strike between their public personas and their private family lives.
Switching focus, Gisele Bündchen has also been in the spotlight, recently featured on the cover of Vogue France's wellness issue. Her spread explores the wider idea of holistic well-being, emphasizing that it goes beyond just physical fitness.
This public moment highlights her personal journey and what she's prioritizing since her split from Brady.
Despite their divorce in October 2022, reports indicate that Brady and Bündchen have maintained a unified front for their children, prioritizing their well-being as they navigate the complexities of co-parenting. Their relationship began with a blind date in January 2007, culminating in an intimate wedding ceremony in February 2009.
They welcomed two children, son Benjamin Rein Brady and daughter Vivian Lake Brady. The marriage reportedly faced difficulties as Brady's intense focus on his football career led to Bündchen seeking legal counsel for divorce in 2022.
