Gisele Bündchen, the world-renowned Brazilian supermodel, is embracing an exciting new chapter in her life. At 44 years old, Bündchen is expecting her third child, marking her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, a relationship that blossomed following her highly-publicized divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady.
A source recently confirmed the news, sharing, “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.” This exclusive revelation highlights a fresh start for the couple as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their new baby.
New Beginnings After Brady Divorce
Bündchen’s relationship with Valente began in June 2023, just seven months after finalizing her divorce from Brady in October 2022. The supermodel and jujitsu instructor have been spotted together frequently since then, sparking public interest in their blossoming romance.
This upcoming addition to Bündchen’s family will join her two children from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. She co-parents son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11, with the former NFL quarterback, ensuring their transition into this new phase of life remains harmonious.
Tom Brady is also father to his son, John Edward Thomas, 17, whom he shares with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Love, Family, and Moving Forward
Bündchen, who gained worldwide fame as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, has been noticeably absent from the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The supermodel, a fan-favorite from 1999 to 2006, appears to be focusing on her personal life rather than returning to the iconic runway for which she was once synonymous.
Her previous relationship with Brady lasted 13 years, during which time they became one of the most famous power couples in the world. Their separation was announced publicly in heartfelt Instagram posts on October 28, 2022.
“In recent days my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage,” Brady wrote at the time.
“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
Bündchen also reflected on their decision to separate, writing, “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.”
As Bündchen and Valente look forward to welcoming their new baby, it’s clear that family continues to be at the heart of her world.
