Gisele Bundchen found planning two weddings "very hard." The Brazilian supermodel - who tied the knot with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in an intimate California ceremony in February, with the couple reaffirming their vows in April in Costa Rico - admits keeping her big day a secret was one of the toughest things she has ever had to do.

She said: "We tried very hard to keep it private. Oh my God, you have no idea how hard that was. But it was worth it, we had a great time. I think we were very lucky."

Gisele Bundchen is set to adopt a child from her native Brazil. The supermodel, who married American football star Tom Brady in February, is keen to open her home to an underprivileged boy or girl from the country after witnessing the terrible lives some kids lead.

She said: "I would love to adopt a child from Brazil. When you come from Sao Paulo and have seen five-year-olds sniffing glue on the street corner, you think you could make a difference in their life. A difference that would make your time on Earth worthwhile."

Gisele Bundchen says discovering Tom Brady had a love child was a "wake up call." The Brazilian supermodel, who married American football star Tom in February, was left reeling after Tom's ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan announced she was pregnant soon after they began dating in 2006.

She said: "It was definitely a surprise for both of us. In the beginning you're living this romantic fantasy, you're thinking, 'This can't be true, it's so good!' And then, 'Whoops - wake-up call!'"

Gisele Bundchen is to marry Tom Brady for a second time. The pair - who wed in a secret ceremony in Los Angeles last month - are planning to tie the knot again in front of 50 friends and family in Costa Rica.

Although the venue has not been revealed, the service is believed to be taking place in April, according to gossip website Radar Online.

Gisele Bundchen has taken her dog on honeymoon. The supermodel was seen at Los Angeles airport with her new husband Tom Brady - who she wed in a secret ceremony last month - and tiny pet dog as they prepared to jet to her hometown of Horizontina in southern Brazil.

The couple have flown to South America partly for a belated honeymoon, but also to celebrate the 83rd birthday of Gisele's grandmother.
