LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - When a friend set Tom Brady and Gisele Bunchen up on a blind date he said he knew "a girl version of [Tom]." The friend fed a similar line to Tom's now-wife Gisele, "he said he knew a boy version of me."

In the issue, Tom says he thinks Gisele has it worse and that modeling is a much tougher job than playing football.

"When I’m out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I’m doing. With [modeling], I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m at the whim of the photographer and the crew."

Tom also talks for the first time about the difficulty of having a child out of wedlock.

"That's not how you envisioned your life, that’s not how you envisioned having children, but it happens. Life is not living in the suburbs with a white picket fence. That’s not life. Somehow our American culture has made it out that that’s what life needs to be - that if it’s not that, it's all screwed up. It's not. You go through life and you try the best you can."
