Gisele Bündchen will never say never to romance.

More than a year after finalizing her divorce with Tom Brady, the supermodel shared her thoughts on finding love again. Though Gisele believes "life is full of surprises," her heart will first and foremost belong to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, who she shares with the retired NFL quarterback.

"Right now, really, my priority is my kids and creating this beautiful sanctuary for our family," she told Robin Roberts during her Impact x Nightline special, after being asked if she would ever "open" her heart to someone else. "I don't have a crystal ball about what's going to happen tomorrow but, yeah."

But that's not to say Gisele—who a source recently confirmed to E! News is now dating jiu jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente—regrets her marriage to Tom. Reflecting on their breakup, the 43-year-old called it a "transition that had to take place."

"It's a new chapter in my life and I get to learn new things," she continued. "I get to walk my path in a different way, and I'm grateful for all of it. I'm grateful for every lessons."

In fact, coparenting has been one of the biggest lessons Gisele has learned since her 2022 split from Tom.

"There's easier days than others, but I think the kids—they're super smart children," she said with a laugh. "They know what they can get away with."

Explaining how it's "natural" for her and Tom—who also shares 16-year-old son Jack with Bridget Moynahan—to have different house rules as coparents, Gisele acknowledged: "I can only control what I do."

"Now's really about the balance," she shared. "Tom has time with them and I have time with them, which I think is amazing."

She added, "They get to learn from two different worlds and that's wonderful for them."
