Overstepping Boundaries
When Tom and Gisele married in 2009, Giselle officially became Jack’s stepmother. Gisele told Vanity Fair, “I understand that [Jack] has a mother, and I respect that, but it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child.” Following this speech, stories began to circulate, with many claiming that there was friction between her and Bridget.
Her “Bonus Child”
When the rumors persisted, Gisele decided it was time to put them to rest. In another interview, she stated that she is overjoyed that Jack is a part of their lives and that she not only loves him but considers him to be her “bonus child.”
