Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has joyous news to share: she is pregnant with her third child! The announcement was first reported by People, confirming the exciting development between Bündchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, as they prepare for this new chapter together.
Bündchen, 44, is already the mother of two children from her previous marriage to NFL legend Tom Brady; she shares 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian with him. Sources close to the couple revealed, “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.”
The couple has been dating since June 2023, but their relationship goes back even longer. They first crossed paths back in 2021 when Bündchen's children began taking jiu-jitsu classes at Valente's academy, which he co-founded in Miami. Reflecting on their initial interactions, Bündchen shared with Harper’s Bazaar, “Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself. But when I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized it was much more than self-defense.”
The couple showed off their happiness recently during a festive beach getaway, spotted on Christmas Eve enjoying Costa Rica’s sun. Pictures surfaced of Bündchen proudly flaunting her baby bump in a black bikini, alongside Valente who sported swim trunks. The atmosphere reflected their joy, accompanied by family and their pet dog, emphasizing the warmth and connection between them.
Insiders have reported on the dynamic between the couple, noting, “Joaquim is a great guy. He is down to earth, kind and inspiring. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It’s been very natural for her to date Joaquim.” They emphasized how Valente has been not only romantic but also supportive, providing comfort to Bündchen during the transition phase following her divorce from Brady.
Bündchen’s recent pregnancy is particularly meaningful as it marks the beginning of another life chapter, especially after her split from Brady following 13 years of marriage. The news has elicited varied reactions, with insiders noting the pregnancy was initially unplanned but welcomed with enthusiasm. “Joaquim always wanted his own family, and Gisele is thrilled to experience this with him,” insiders revealed.
The supermodel ensured her children were informed about the impending arrival and shared the news with Brady before it became public, showcasing her desire to maintain open lines of communication and prevent any potential tensions during this transition.
Since the announcement, there have been whispers about the nature of the couple’s relationship and how Bündchen has embraced her role as a mother. Currently, she has taken time off work to focus on her pregnancy, digging deep with Pilates, meditation, and following a healthy diet. An insider revealed, “She’s very happy in Miami. Everyone’s thriving.”
Despite the public speculations and the challenges of being under the spotlight, Bündchen has shared thoughts on her personal growth. On social media, she remarked, “There’s no guide to life, no perfect roadmap to follow. But everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices.” She expressed her gratitude for the new path, stating she feels “very lucky” to have met Valente, with whom she has been seriously dating for over a year now.
Those close to Bündchen affirm she is fully embracing this new experience, feeling excited about the upcoming arrival of their first child together as she reshapes her life after her significant previous relationship. This moment is not just about motherhood but also about empowerment, choice, and finding peace.
With her past behind her and hope for the future, Gisele Bündchen seems ready for this brand-new adventure, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of growth as she prepares to expand her family.
