Tom Brady had immense success on the field, especially in the latter part of his career when he was with Gisele Bündchen. As his Super Bowl wins piled up, some fans began to wonder if there was more at play than just talent and hard work.
Gisele herself hinted at using rituals, crystals, and affirmations to help Brady succeed. That led to speculation.
Was she just being spiritual, or was there a touch of witchcraft involved in keeping the GOAT at the top of his game?
Gisele Bündchen’s Spiritual Side and Rituals
As many Gisele fans know, the supermodel is deeply connected to the mystical powers of nature, and she’s never shied away from sharing that. In a Vogue interview, Gisele opened up about her spiritual practices, which sparked plenty of curiosity.
When asked if she had any pregame rituals before Patriots games, she didn’t hesitate: “Yes, I have a champions playlist.” But that wasn’t all.
She also mentioned using crystals, incense, and mantras, leading many to wonder whether it was just spiritual wellness or something more mysterious, helping Brady dominate the NFL.
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady’s Game-Day Rituals
Sports is a world of superstitions, and it appears that the once-power couple Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady were no exception. In fact, Gisele’s deep belief in spiritual energy and rituals played a real part in Brady’s pregame routine.
“I’ve learned a lot about my wife over the years. She’s about the power of intention, believing that things are really going to happen,” Brady once said in an interview, reflecting on Gisele’s influence. “She always makes a little altar for me at the game, because she wills it so much.”
In a now-viral Instagram reel, Brady shared a memorable moment: “I said, ‘Babe, I’m asking… do we have a chance?’ And she said, ‘Yeah, but you’re going to have to do a lot of work and you’re really going to have to listen to me.’”
He added, “Right after the game, she said, ‘See, I did a lot of work. You do your work, I do mine!’ She said, ‘You’re lucky you married a witch, I’m just a good witch.’”
Bündchen’s Concern for Brady’s Safety
Gisele has openly voiced her concerns about the physical toll football takes, calling it dangerous and unsustainable, especially for someone playing as long as Brady did. She wanted him to prioritize his health and family, but Brady kept returning to the game. Many believe this difference in priorities led to their split.
Still, her protective instincts didn’t stop. “I have these special stones, healing stones, protection stones and she has me wear a necklace… take all these drops she makes, say all these mantras…” Brady revealed.
It’s possible that her rituals weren’t just about helping him win, but keeping him safe as well. As his career extended far beyond the norm, some wonder if Gisele’s spiritual efforts played a part in shielding him from serious harm.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Brady’s last season after his split was his only losing season of his career as a starting QB, where he finished 8-9 for the Bucs before calling it quits one final time.
Tom Brady’s Success Predates Gisele Bündchen
But even before he met Gisele, Tom Brady had already won three Super Bowls with the Patriots. His legendary status was well underway long before any talk of altars, crystals, or spiritual rituals entered the conversation.
While Gisele’s practices may have added an emotional or mental edge, there’s no real proof they were responsible for his wins. Brady’s discipline, skill, and competitiveness were the driving forces of his success.
Whether you chalk it up to hard work, fate, or a little “good witch” magic, one thing’s clear: Tom Brady didn’t become the GOAT by luck alone.
