Model Gisele Bündchen is reportedly expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, her jiu-jitsu instructor. According to multiple outlets, the couple has chosen to wait until the birth to learn the sex of their child.
Bündchen, who shares two children—Vivian, 11, and Benjamin, 14—with her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady, began her relationship with Valente during her divorce from Brady in 2022. Initially friends, the pair’s relationship deepened over time. A source shared with People that they have been seriously dating for over a year and that Bündchen is thrilled about the pregnancy. "She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth," the source revealed.
Both Bündchen and Valente are originally from Brazil and currently reside in the Miami area. Reports indicate that Bündchen informed Brady and their children about the pregnancy before the news broke publicly.
In March, Bündchen confirmed to The New York Times that she was seeing someone but did not disclose his identity at the time. She expressed the uniqueness of this relationship, stating, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
Following the news of Bündchen's pregnancy, Brady, who is now working as a football analyst for Fox, shared an Instagram story that many interpreted as a reflective response. The post featured a scenic photo of a low sun over nature, accompanied by The Chicks’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s "Landslide." The lyrics included, “Oh mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child inside my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?”
As the couple prepares for this new chapter in their lives, fans are eagerly anticipating more updates about the pregnancy and their growing family. HuffPost has reached out to Bündchen’s representatives for further comment on the news.
With both parents’ strong Brazilian heritage, the baby is sure to be welcomed into a vibrant and supportive family environment. As Bündchen embarks on this journey, many are looking forward to seeing how her life continues to evolve, balancing her roles as a model, mother, and partner.
“They started out as friends, but have been seriously dating for over a year,” the source told the magazine. “She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth.”
The two, both from Brazil, are based in the Miami area.
Back in March, Bündchen confirmed to The New York Times that she was dating someone but did not name him. “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she said. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
Shortly after reports of her pregnancy circulated, Brady, now a football analyst on Fox, shared an Instagram story that some outlets interpreted as a reaction to the news.
The Chicks’ version of the Fleetwood Mac hit “Landslide” played with a photo of a low sun over nature on a hillside.
“Oh mirror in the sky, what is love,” the printed lyrics on his post read. “Can the child inside my heart rise above/ Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?”
