Gisele Bündchen has officially welcomed her third child, her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, marking another chapter in her life as the beloved supermodel transitions to motherhood once again. According to reports from TMZ and People, the model is "super happy," celebrating the new addition to her family.
The exact date of the birth remains unclear, as sources indicate it happened "recently." Neither outlet has revealed the newborn's name or sex, maintaining the couple's choice to keep these details private until the time feels right.
Bündchen, who is already the mother of two children with her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady, had her pregnancy publicly revealed back in October when she was approximately five to six months along. Following the announcement, she was seen enjoying the sun and sharing moments of self-reflection on social media, often promoting positivity and gratitude.
"Happiness is an inside job," she wrote on one of her posts, expressing her dedication to creating the life she desires.
The model shares 15-year-old son Benjamin and 12-year-old daughter Vivian with Brady, and she reportedly informed them of her pregnancy to avoid them reading about it through the media first. According to TMZ, Brady was reportedly "stunned" upon learning about the news. The couple divorced in October 2022, after 13 years of marriage, and they have excelled at co-parenting their two children ever since.
Bündchen's relationship with Joaquim Valente began relatively recently. The pair started dating during the summer of 2023, after having been friends prior to their romantic involvement. They were first spotted together publicly in November of the same year, fueling speculation about their relationship status. Prior to this, Gisele had opened up to Vanity Fair about how Valente and his brothers had been supportive friends.
"I'm so grateful to know all of them," she remarked, emphasizing the importance of their friendship during her divorce from Brady. It’s reported they turned romantic after they had built a solid foundation of friendship.
Maintaining their relationship private has been important to both Bündchen and Valente. A source previously mentioned their desire to keep it quiet as they adjusted to being together. While they have enjoyed time together, including relaxing vacations to Costa Rica—where they seem to be making beautiful memories—the couple has opted to keep many details about their personal lives away from public scrutiny.
With her heightened profile after the birth, fans are left wondering whether Valente will join Bündchen at significant public events, such as the Met Gala, where she has traditionally been seen. Following the arrival of their little one, her focus will likely remain on her family, as she relishes the joys of motherhood once again.
The arrival of Bündchen's third child adds to the growing conversation about work-life balance and the importance of family. Balancing her modeling career and responsibilities as a mother has not been without its challenges, but she has consistently emphasized the importance of personal happiness and fulfillment.
Special moments captured by the media indicate multiple layers to her experiences, all the way from her career as one of the fashion world’s biggest stars to fulfilling her personal dreams of motherhood. The upcoming weeks will undoubtedly see Bündchen cherishing her time with her newborn, and maintaining her bond with her other two children, as they adapt to their new family dynamic.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how the couple balances their private and public lives post-baby. Gisele Bündchen, as she embraces motherhood anew, also highlights the strength found through love and support. Each step she takes reflects her personal growth, powered by achievements and the warmth of family connections, as she builds not just her career but also her poignant life story.
