Gisele Bündchen Is Fine After Tom Brady Divorce, Says Source: 'She Has Lived Her Own Life for Years'

The idea of divorce "was hard at first but enough time has passed that she is settling in," a source tells PEOPLE

A source close to Gisele Bündchen says she is doing fine in light of her divorce from Tom Brady, in part because she is accustomed to doing things on her own.

With the divorce, "Gisele is dealing with issues that have been plaguing her for a long time," a source close to Bündchen tells PEOPLE.

The source explains that the split from Brady, 45, "was hard at first" for Bündchen, 42, "but enough time has passed that she is settling in."

The mother-of-two "has lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she is not afraid to do things by herself."

Bündchen's "main focus and priority" remain on the children, the source says. "Her mood is up and jovial around" son Benjamin Rein, 12½, and 9½-year-old daughter Vivian Lake, who the supermodel shares with Brady.
