Gisele Bündchen reportedly expecting a baby with her Jiu-Jitsu instructor boyfriend after Tom Brady divorce
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen is reportedly expecting her third child.
According to People, the model, who is 44, and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, who is 37, are expecting their first child together, marking it as Bündchen’s third.
“Gisele and Joaquim are thrilled about this new phase in their lives and are eager to foster a peaceful and loving environment for their growing family,” a source shared with People magazine.
Bündchen has two children from her previous marriage to retired NFL champion quarterback Tom Brady, who finalized their divorce in October 2022.
She began dating Joaquim Valente in June 2023, approximately seven months after her divorce with Brady was finalized.
Bündchen and Valente first caught each other’s eye in November 2022, during a visit to Provincia de Puntarenas, a coastal province in Costa Rica, where Valente’s two children were accompanying her.
Initially, Valente’s trainer denied any romantic involvement, but it later became evident that a deep connection had formed between the two. In February 2024, a reliable source confirmed to PEOPLE that Bündchen and Valente had been in a relationship since June 2023.
By June 2024, another source shared with PEOPLE that Bündchen had experienced a significant transformation since her divorce from Brady. “She has flourished,” the source noted. “She’s secure and content, so engrossed in her life that she doesn’t dwell on the negative aspects around her.”
In February, a third source revealed that Bündchen and Valente had been dating since June, choosing to take their relationship slowly. They began as close friends, with Bündchen being particularly private about their relationship, preferring to keep it discreet as they got to know each other better.
The divorce between Brady and Bündchen was finalized in October 2022, marking the end of their 13-year marriage. Despite this, they have agreed to share joint custody of their children.
The new addition to the family will be welcomed into the lives of the children Brady co-parents with, including his son Be Benjamin Rein, who is 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, who is 11.
Brady is also a proud father to his son John Edward Thomas, who is 17, from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
