Gisele Bundchen rushed to her husband’s side after his disappointing loss in Super Bowl LII on Sunday, while graciously congratulating members of the winning Eagles squad.
The former Victoria’s Secret model sipped red wine while she watched the game with their three children from a box at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota Sunday night.
But when a fumble by Brady in the final seconds of the game ended all chances of a Patriots comeback, Bundchen brought the kids downstairs to meet their father the second he came off the field.

A USA Today Sports reporter who was in the tunnel when the losing Patriots team came off the field says the couple’s two youngest kids – five-year-old Vivian and eight-year-old Benjamin – were so distraught at their father’s loss that they started to cry.
Bundchen used the moment to try and teach her kids a lesson about being a good sport.
When Vivian cried out that the Eagles had won, her mother responded: ‘Just this time. Daddy won five times. They never won before.’
‘Their whole life, they never won a Super Bowl. You have to let someone else win sometimes,’ Bundchen said.
‘Sometimes you have to let other people win…We have to share. Sharing is caring,’ she added.

Brady’s eldest child, 10-year-old John, stood stoically next to his step-mom.
A few minutes later, Brady walked off the field to cheers of ‘Daddy!’ from his three kids.
Brady then walked over to his family and got down on one knee to speak to his kids.
On Monday, Bundchen posted a picture of the moment she and an emotional Brady embraced when he walked off the field.
‘Congratulations Eagles for winning the Super bowl, what a game that was! Congratulations Patriots for giving your best and to my love, we are incredibly proud of you because we are able to see ever day all the commitment, sacrifice and hard work that you have devoted to become the best in what you do. We love you!’ she captioned the photo.

Yahoo Sports columnist Dan Wetzel tweeted that Bundchen congratulated every Eagles player she came across as she walked through the stadium Sunday night.
‘Gisele, walking a back hallway to leave the stadium, took time to personally congratulate every Eagles player she ran into. They looked star struck,’ Wetzel wrote.
Bundchen’s gracious display was a change from the last time the Patriots lost a Super Bowl.
After the 2012 loss to the New York Giants, Bundchen was recorded blaming the Patriots receivers for dropping so many of her husband’s passes.
‘My husband cannot f****** throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times,’ she said at the time.
Those comments came back to bite Bundchen on Sunday, when her husband dropped a pass in a trick play in the second quarter.
Social media exploded with posts referencing Bunchen’s comments.
‘Gisele is right…apparently her husband can’t catch the ball,’ a Twitter user named Ralph wrote.
