'We love you!' Gisele Bundchen sends support as husband Tom Brady faces pre-Super Bowl media amid 'defategate'

She has always been his biggest supporter and while the rest of the world ponders what really did happen to Tom Brady's balls, Gisele Bundchen made sure everyone knows she has got his back.

The supermodel, along with the couple's children Ben, 5, and daughter Vivian, 2, sent their love to Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday.

The 37-year-old football player is in town ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl and faced the annual Media Day.

While normally the day is fairly light hearted - and often a little crazy - as controversy rages over whether his team, the New England Patriots, deflated their game balls to help them secure a Super Bowl spot, he was no doubt feeling a bit more pressure.

Making sure the quarterback knew he had some special fans at home rooting for him, Gisele tweeted her husband.

The supermodel wrote simply: 'We love you daddy #SBMediaDay.'

However, Tom need not have worried too much as the questioning by and large was kept rather light - with a lot of it being about his beautiful wife.

The star was asked where his wife was to which he responded: 'She's at home with the kids.'

He also spoke about how he would like to take the children back to the model's native Brazil more. 

Tom managed to deflect the focus off the scandal a little bit also thanks to his rather unusual haircut, which left his locks sticking up on his head.

While she missed the Media Day, no doubt the 34-year-old will be there on her husband's big day - his sixth Super Bowl.

Gisele is also not afraid to take anyone on who may insult her man.

In 2012 after her husband lost the Super Bowl, the Brazilian cursed out Indianapolis fans.

The catwalk star was caught on tape swearing and suggesting it was Tom's teammates' fault they did not win.

Do supermodel style in a plunging neckline

Gisele Bundchen could have arrived at the Met Gala in New York in a bin bag and still have looked divine. That's the beauty of being the world's highest paid supermodel.

But of course the Brazilian babe didn't do that. She rocked up looking utterly gorgeous in a velvet and silk dress by Balenciaga. The cut out sections hint at skin and of course that plunging neckline is a daring but sexy detail.

Gisele kept the rest of her look simple with barely there make-up, statement emerald ear rings and black strappy sandals. Even her glossy locks looked beachy and chilled, like she just left it to dry and this is how it ended up. It's enough to make us green with envy.

But instead we'll take inspiration from her lovely red carpet look and aim to bring her easy glamour to our own evening wardrobes. Lipsy has a great lace maxi that gives the illusion of cut outs and it also has the deep V neckline of Gisele's dress.

The model said: 'You catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times.'

The NFL is currently investigating whether anyone on the Patriots tampered with the balls in the last match up with the Indianapolis Colts after 11 of 12 balls used by the team were found to be under-inflated.

The quarterback said of the incident: 'This isn't ISIS, no one's dying, we'll get through this.' 

On Sunday, Tom's team the Patriots will face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Arizona with kick off at 3.30pm Pacific time.
