Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has officially welcomed her third child, marking her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. The news, first reported by TMZ on Wednesday, Feb. 5, revealed that Bündchen gave birth recently, though the exact date remains unknown. Additionally, the couple reportedly opted to wait until the birth to learn their baby’s gender, which has yet to be publicly disclosed.
Bündchen Embraces Motherhood Again
Bündchen, 44, shares two children—Vivian, 11, and Benjamin, 14—with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. Now, with the arrival of her newborn, the Brazilian model embarks on a new chapter with Valente, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor she has been dating since June 2023.
According to a PEOPLE magazine source, Bündchen and Valente are “thrilled” about their growing family. “Gisele and Joaquim are happy about this new chapter in their lives and are looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” the insider shared.
The couple, who initially kept their relationship quiet, have gradually become more open about their romance. Valente, 35, was frequently seen with Bündchen following her divorce from Brady in October 2022. Over time, he has also formed a close bond with her children, fueling speculation that their relationship was more than just a casual connection.
Gisele’s Pregnancy Journey
Bündchen’s pregnancy was first revealed in October 2024, when sources confirmed she was expecting her third child. Just a month later, she made her first public appearance as an expectant mother at the Lotus House Gala on Nov. 13. She shared photos and videos from the event, with one striking image capturing her silhouette on stage, showcasing her growing baby bump.
Throughout her pregnancy, Bündchen remained active and in good spirits. A PEOPLE insider noted that she was “excited” and in excellent health. “Gisele’s very happy in Miami,” the source shared. “She enjoys her life there. Everyone’s thriving.”
Despite her new relationship and expanding family, Bündchen has maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship with Brady. However, the former football star sparked speculation when he posted a cryptic song just hours after news of Bündchen’s pregnancy surfaced. While he has not publicly commented on her latest milestone, fans continue to analyze his social media activity for any hidden messages.
As Bündchen and Valente step into this new chapter, their growing family marks a fresh beginning for the supermodel, who has long prioritized motherhood alongside her successful career.
