HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Gisele Bündchen is gushing over motherhood after giving birth to her first child in December.
"To be a mother is a magical experience. The whole body is transformed by this," the 29-year-old supermodel tells Brazil's Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper. "It really is the miracle of life. I am really happy!"
Bündchen and her husband, football star Tom Brady, welcomed a son named Benjamin on Dec. 8. The Brazilian beauty refers to her newborn baby as "a little angel" and says he's keeping her plenty busy.
"In these first months, the baby breast-feeds twice in two hours or three times in three hours," she says. "It is really tiring, but it's such a special moment that I am enjoying to the maximum."
Motherhood hasn't stopped Bündchen from returning to work already, a task made easier by her devotion to yoga and kung-fu as she awaited her son's arrival.
"I kept myself in good shape during the whole pregnancy, eating healthily, meditating, and doing exercises," she says. "I put on a little weight, but kept using almost the same clothes, with small adjustments on the stomach."
