Despite the outward appearance of an idyllic union, the couple faced unresolved differences that ultimately led to their decision to divorce. The interview, which aired on March 9th, served as a platform for Bündchen to articulate the profound love and immediate connection she felt for Brady from the beginning, only to contrast it with the heartache of their parting.

The metaphorical "new life" Bündchen refers to post-divorce signifies her journey towards healing and self-discovery. Despite the end of a significant chapter in her life, she emphasizes the emergence of a renewed sense of self and purpose. 

Bundchen shared in the interview, "Everything I’ve experienced, it made me realize what I want and what I don’t want. At the end of the day, if you’re not truthful to who you are, then it doesn’t work.” She characterized the separation as a necessary shift, stating it was "a transition that had to take place."
