Supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, has officially confirmed her third pregnancy, marking her first child with her boyfriend, jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
The news surfaced this week, with Bündchen photographed in Miami wearing a black wrap dress that showcased her baby bump, complemented by black sunglasses and a nude handbag.
This pregnancy comes two years after her high-profile divorce from former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, 47, whom she was married to for 13 years.
Initially released by ‘People magazine, the report confirmed that Bündchen and Valente, 35, eagerly anticipate this new chapter. “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,” a source close to the couple stated.
Bündchen shares two children with her ex-husband Brady: son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11. Brady and Bündchen maintain a joint custody arrangement for their children. Additionally, Brady is the father of 17-year-old John “Jack” Edward Thomas, whom he shares with actress Bridget Moynahan.
The couple’s relationship began when Bündchen and her son Benjamin attended Valente’s jujitsu academy, where Bündchen was introduced to the sport. Initially, she didn’t envision taking classes herself, telling *Dust* magazine in 2022, “When I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realised that it was much more than self-defence.”
Romance rumours between Bündchen and Valente emerged in November 2022 after the two vacationed together in Costa Rica. Although initially denied romantic involvement, sources confirmed they began dating by June 2023. “They’re taking it slow,” an insider revealed, highlighting Bündchen’s private approach to the relationship as they developed from friends into romantic partners.
According to sources, Valente was a significant support for Bündchen during her divorce. Their friendship eventually evolved into a romantic relationship. The news of Bündchen’s pregnancy reportedly came as a surprise to Brady.
According to a source who spoke to ‘Page Six’, “Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim, but he never imagined they would have a child together… when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least.”
As Bündchen and Valente prepare for this new phase, the couple reportedly focuses on fostering a loving environment for their expanding family.
