Congratulations are in order for Gisele Bündchen.
The supermodel is pregnant with her third child and her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, according to People. Bündchen has been dating Valente, who is also her Jiu-Jitsu instructor, since June 2023—although the two were first linked together in late 2022, after paparazzi spotted near her home in Costa Rica’s coast with her two kids.
She shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian, with ex-husband Tom Brady. The couple confirmed their divorce in October 2022. “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we spent together and only wish the best for Tom always,” Bündchen wrote on Instagram.
This pregnancy announcement is just the latest page in a new life chapter for Bündchen. After splitting with her football star husband, she relocated to live in Miami full time. “It feels like Brazil—I love how warm people are,” she told Vogue of her new home.
In Vogue’s July 2019 issue, Bündchen, a noted environmentalist, shared that her parenting style is rooted in responsibility and sustainability. “When you have privilege, you have to work extra hard. You want to give to your children because you love them, but is that really what’s best for them? Growing the garden with my kids, they understand they have to nourish it from tiny seeds,” she said. “Ooh, here comes a frost. We lose our plant. And now what? Start again, figure out a new way. Nature is the biggest teacher: She’s always teaching you how to adapt.”
