Gisele’s still got it — and flaunting it.

In February’s Harper’s Bazaar’s Joy issue, the supermodel appears in a variety of outfits, including most notably a bikini, and is slathered in head-to-toe gold body paint.

Besides serving looks, Bundchen shared a few pieces of the wisdom she’s picked up over her 43 years on the earth.

“I can offer some things I’ve learned and that have helped me and my family,” says the mother of two whose divorce from former NFL quarterback Tom Brady was finalized in October 2022. “I’m just a mom who has a very busy life, and I think a lot of women can relate to that.”

The catwalk vet also never forgets where she came from. That would be Horizontina, a small town in Brazil.

“All those things that I learned as a kid are things that are in me,” Bundchen tells the fashion magazine. “It doesn’t change. In many ways, it’s also what kept me safe because my value system was so strong.”

Despite her fame, beauty and wealth (owning three homes in South Florida alone), she still deals with typical problems many single moms of tweens and teenagers face.

“’The way you [clean] your room, the way you organize and make your bed is the way you’re going to do your life,’” she recalls telling Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. “If you’re not learning here and now, then when and with who? Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they’re in two different homes and there are two different ways.”

Above all, the “Nourish” author explained that maintaining good health has to be the No. 1 priority.

“I want to live the longest, feeling the best that I can, but for me to achieve this, I have to make decisions today,” says Bundchen, who recalls in the early days subsisting on cigarettes, Frappuccinos, pizza and wine.

“You can have all the money in the world. If you don’t have your health, it’s not possible to buy it back.”
