Tom Brady's Former Mother-in-Law Passes Away After Battling an Illness Similar to What His Mother Survived – Details

Tom Brady's former mother-in-law lost her life to an illness that was similar to one his mother survived. The public has sent their condolences to Gisele Bündchen and her bereaved family as they mourn such a significant loss.

The mother of iconic supermodel Gisele Bündchen, Vânia Nonnenmacher, has sadly passed away after a battle with cancer. She died on Sunday morning at 75, and a wake and farewell ceremony was scheduled to take place today.

Vânia was hospitalized to undergo treatment for her cancer in Porte Alegre, although the type of cancer has not been specified. According to a news outlet that reported on her death, Gisele, who was extremely close with her mom, has not yet commented about the tragic ordeal.

Although she ended up not sharing the same fate as Vânia, NFL legend Tom Brady's mom, Galynn Patricia Brady, also battled cancer. Years ago, Tom spoke about his mom's illness and her managing to support him in person at his historic SuperBowl winning game in the 2016 season.

On this, he spoke about how Galynn's treatments were wrapping up during this time and said that in addition to the ending of the season, it signified an end to the difficult time she and their family were going through. According to the news channel that reported on the story, Tom also credited his victory to Galynn being there. Gisele and other loved ones also joined her.

In the wake of her death, Vânia leaves behind her six daughters — Gisele, Patricia, Gabriela, Graziela, Rafaela, and Raquel Nonnenmacher Bündchen — whom she shared with Valdir Bündchen. The sad news comes after Gisele shared a rare family post on her social media with a carousel of images showing her whole family.

Many who have heard of Vânia's passing expressed sorrow and sent their condolences. Of her death, one person stated, "Heartbreaking 💔." Another wrote, "Condolences to Gisele's father, Gisele and her family, and her mother's family and friends on her passing. Praying 🙏 for all of them." Someone else who was also heartbroken by what happened commented, "😢RIP🙏🖤."

Several days before Vânia's demise, an article profiling her loving daughter, Gisele, briefly mentioning the model's parents, was published. The piece noted how Gisele, having watched her parents deal with their health issues, had been motivated to take her health seriously.

Gisele discussed the importance of health as a whole. She disclosed, "I want to live the longest feeling the best I can, but for me to achieve this, I have to make decisions today."

For Gisele Bündchen, being healthy is incomparable to material entities like money. She said that while one can possess all the money in the world to purchase one's heart's desire, repurchasing one's health is not an option.
