Gisele and Tom Brady have been happily loved up for over ten years now, but the start of their relationship wasn't the easiest.

In fact, just two months after they started dating, Tom's previous girlfriend of two years, Bridget Moynahan, told him that she was pregnant with his baby.

And now Gisele has opened up about how she reacted to the news and adapted to becoming a step-mother despite the relationship being so new.

Writing in her new autobiography, Lessons, Gisele revealed that prior to the news, she and Tom had planned to wait at least 10 years to start a family but admitted "life unfolds in unexpected ways."

She went on to say that the news of his ex's pregnancy "turned [her] world upside down," describing the period as anything but easy.

However, Gisele went on to reveal that her "heart expanded" when Tom's son Jack was born, and opened up about how he changed both of their lives for the better.

She said: "My heart expand in ways I didn't know was possible. He's been a huge gift and blessing. In fact, I credit Jack with accelerating Tom's and my growing up in so many ways. The two of us agreed that Jack should have siblings closer to his own age, and not 10 years younger. With Jack in our lives, our priorities definitely started to shift. I wanted to be there for Jack and Tom, and do whatever I could to create stability in their lives, and help them to have a close relationship."

And Gisele even dedicated the book to Jack and her two children with Tom, Benjamin and Vivian, who she describes as "the light of [her] life."
