Gisele Bündchen is embracing motherhood once again. The 44-year-old Brazilian supermodel is expecting her third child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The couple, who went public with their relationship earlier this year, is eagerly looking forward to this new addition.
A source close to Bündchen shared that she is “excited to embrace this new chapter openly,” though she had kept the news private as long as possible.
Bündchen, who shares two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with her ex-husband Tom Brady, is savoring the moment.
“She has received many positive messages and congratulations,” the insider shared, adding that she feels thrilled as she prepares to welcome her third child. Bündchen, known for her healthy lifestyle, continues to practice pilates and other exercises to maintain her wellness through pregnancy.
Prioritizing Wellness and a Natural Birth Plan
Bündchen has long been committed to wellness, a commitment she continues during her pregnancy.
“She has always taken amazing care of herself,” an insider said, noting that she’s paying close attention to her diet and exercise routine. Bündchen reportedly plans to welcome her baby at home, following a natural birth plan she feels aligns with her values.
The model is several months into her pregnancy but is not planning to learn the baby’s gender ahead of time. According to sources, she and Valente prefer to keep it a surprise.
This excitement reflects her joy in taking on motherhood once again, all while balancing her commitments in Miami, where she’s currently based.
Reflecting on a Joyful New Life with Joaquim Valente
Bündchen and Valente began dating after years of friendship, which became romantic in June 2023. Their relationship has only strengthened, and sources say Bündchen feels “very lucky” to have met her jiu-jitsu instructor beau. The couple now anticipates welcoming their baby with love and excitement.
Before going public, Bündchen reportedly shared her pregnancy news with Brady and their two children. Though Brady has not publicly commented on the news, he did post a message on social media shortly after the announcement.
This joyful chapter for Bündchen comes exactly two years after her and Brady’s divorce, marking a fresh beginning in her life with Valente.
