People magazine was the first to report on Monday that the former Victoria’s Secret runway model and the martial arts teacher, 35, are expecting a baby.
“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 told People.![Pregnant Gisele out in Miami.]()
Bündchen has two children with Brady: son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11. The exes agreed to joint custody of their children.
The retired athlete is also dad to son John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 17, whose mother is the actress Bridget Moynahan.
Bündchen and Valente met after Benjamin started taking jujitsu lessons with him at his academy. Bündchen soon followed in her son’s footsteps.
“Initially, I wasn’t even considering it for myself,” the supermodel told Dust Magazine in 2022 about beginning studying jujitsu. “But when I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense.”![Gisele Bundchen plays beach tennis with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente until it started to pour down rain in Miami Beach, Florida. 03 Aug 2024.]()
Romance rumors began to swirl that the now-parents-to-be were dating in November 2022, less than a month after her divorce, when the duo visited the Provincia de Puntarenas in Costa Rica with her kids.
They denied that they were romantically involved, but by June 2023 they were dating, a source told People.
“They’re taking it slow,” the insider told the outlet this February. “They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.”![Gisele Bundchen plays beach tennis with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente until it started to pour down rain in Miami Beach, Florida. 03 Aug 2024.]()
Another source said of Valente, “He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.”
Meanwhile, a source told Page Six Wednesday that Brady “never imagined” that Bündchen would have a baby with Valente.
“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” the insider said. “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least.”
