Gisele Bündchen is speaking out after the passing of her beloved mom.
“Beloved mom, It hurts to know that I won’t be able to hug you anymore, but I know that you will always be watching over us. You were an angel on earth, always helping everyone around you. I am so grateful to be your daughter and to have learned from you. Thank you for being the best role model of love, strength, compassion, courage, and grace. I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and will live by the values you taught me. You will live forever through the many lives that you touched.
Thank you for giving me five best friends for life. Your love will always guide us. I will see you in my dreams. Love you ❤️”
A hospital in Brazil has shared some heartbreaking news. According to a statement shared by Hospital Moinhos de Vento, it’s been confirmed that Gisele Bündchen’s mom has passed away, People reports.
The statement revealed that Vânia Nonnenmacher passed away following a battle with cancer. Vânia passed away on Sunday January 28 after being admitted to the hospital on Friday, January 26.

Several months ago in September, while talking with People, Bündchen opened up about caring for her parents as they both struggled with health issues. “It’s been a lot — in every area of my life,” she told People at the time. “I feel like whenever it rains, it pours.
“With all the different twists and turns that life takes, all we can do is the best we can given what happens in our surroundings.”
Gisele often referred to her mom as her “hero,” like she did in a 2010 blog post, People reported. “She is the reason why I believe a woman is the core of a family … I can only hope to be for my kids what she will and always be for us … Our rock.”
Bündchen has not yet publicly spoken about her mom’s passing. Our hearts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.
