Gisele Bündchen was spotted on crutches and wearing a medical boot over the weekend in Miami, sparking concern among fans and industry observers. The 46-year-old supermodel was photographed leaving the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach on Friday with a large black medical boot strapped around her right ankle. Using crutches to support herself while keeping her injured foot elevated, Bündchen made her way to an awaiting vehicle while wearing a casual black tank top and cutoff denim shorts.
Gisele Bündchen Seen on Crutches After Mysterious Foot Injury
The unexpected injury arrives amid persistent rumors surrounding Bündchen’s potential return to the runway for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Sources previously indicated that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel was expected to make an appearance at the flagship event, but her current physical condition makes that participation highly unlikely. Representatives for Bündchen did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the nature or extent of her foot injury.
Though it’s unclear how Bündchen may have sustained her apparent injury, she’s open about the consistent and mindful workout routines that keep her in top shape.
“I work out every day because, for me, working out — I don’t see it as something I have to do. I see it as something I get to do,” she told i-D magazine last month.
She added, “It doesn’t matter if I’m surfing, if I’m playing volleyball with my daughter,” she added. “If I’m paddleboarding. Whatever it is, I feel like it’s a moment of being.”
The public sighting also comes just weeks after the release of a bombshell biography about her ex-husband, retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Lars Anderson’s book, titled Brady: An American Story and the Price of Greatness, detailed the private strain that led to the end of their 13-year marriage in 2022. The biography claims Bündchen ended the relationship by telling Brady they were no longer compatible, despite a last-ditch effort by the quarterback to save the marriage during a trip to the Bahamas.
Throughout her career, Bündchen has maintained an intense daily fitness routine, frequently sharing her passion for active living with her followers. In a recent interview with i-D magazine, the supermodel explained that she views daily workouts as a privilege rather than a chore, staying active through surfing, paddleboarding, and playing volleyball with her children. Bündchen shares two children, 16-year-old Benjamin Rein and 13-year-old Vivian Lake, with Brady, and recently welcomed an infant son with her husband, Joaquim Valente. As fans await an official update on her recovery, observers will watch to see if her injury alters her upcoming public appearances and professional commitments.
