Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, has embraced motherhood once again, welcoming her third child, her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Reports confirm that both mother and baby are healthy, though details regarding the baby's name and gender remain undisclosed.
Bündchen, widely recognized as a former Victoria's Secret Angel, shares two children with ex-husband Tom Brady—son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12. The pair, who married in 2009, finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Bündchen was also a stepmother to Brady's son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Following her separation from Brady, Bündchen began dating Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor, in June 2023. Despite public scrutiny, Bündchen has repeatedly emphasized that there was no overlap between her relationship with Valente and her marriage to Brady. The couple's romance became public in February 2024, and Bündchen was later spotted with a visible baby bump in October.
Sources close to the model noted that she was "excited to embrace this new chapter openly," despite initially keeping her pregnancy under wraps. "She received many positive messages and congratulations," an insider revealed. The decision to maintain privacy, however, became increasingly challenging as public curiosity grew.
The arrival of Bündchen and Valente's baby adds a new dimension to their evolving relationship. Valente, who has worked closely with Bündchen since 2021 as her self-defense instructor, now steps into fatherhood for the first time.
Meanwhile, Tom Brady, 47, has reportedly focused on co-parenting his children while pursuing his post-NFL career. A source previously told Page Six that while Brady had initially been open to expanding his family with Bündchen, those plans were ultimately shelved. "At the end of the day, Tom's sole focus is on his children and career," the insider stated, adding that Bündchen's life decisions were "none of his business."
Bündchen, who remains one of the world's most successful supermodels and businesswomen, appears to be thriving. From launching wellness initiatives to participating in high-profile brand partnerships, she continues to redefine her professional and personal life.
