Gisele Bündchen Is Pregnant: Expecting First Child With Joaquim Valente

Hey there, folks. Here's some exciting news that's been buzzing around the celebrity world. Gisele Bündchen, the legendary supermodel, is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Yes, you heard it right! Closer has confirmed this incredible news, and it’s all set to bring a whole new chapter into their lives.

Gisele and Joaquim: A New Chapter

According to a source who spoke to People, Gisele and Joaquim are absolutely thrilled about this new phase in their lives. “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,” the source said in a statement on Monday, October 28. This is a beautiful moment for both of them as they prepare to welcome a new addition to their family.

Gisele's Family Journey

Gisele, who is 44 years old, is already a proud mother to two wonderful kids—Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. She welcomed them with her ex-husband, Tom Brady. In addition to her biological children, she also played a significant role as a stepmom to Tom’s eldest son, Jack, whom he fathered with his ex, Bridget Moynahan. Now, she’s stepping into a new phase of motherhood with Joaquim.

Tom and Gisele’s 13-year marriage came to an end in October 2022 when they both filed for divorce. At the time, Gisele expressed her gratitude for the time they shared together. “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart,” she said in a heartfelt statement. “While it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.”

Romantic Beginnings

Gisele’s romance with Joaquim began to spark rumors in November 2022. The couple was spotted spending quality time together with her children in Provincia de Puntarenas. As time went on, their bond grew stronger, and they started appearing more often in public. “Gisele’s so grateful for Joaquim,” an insider told In Touch in March. “They’ve been practically inseparable. He makes her feel happy and sexy and alive, and she’s having fun with him.”

For those who may not know, Joaquim is a talented jiu-jitsu trainer who has even appeared in training videos with Gisele on social media. Interestingly, they were friends long before their relationship turned romantic, according to several sources. Gisele has addressed the rumors that she cheated on Tom with Joaquim, dismissing them outright.

“This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,” she told the New York Times in April 2024. Clearly, Gisele has shown immense strength in navigating her personal life with grace and honesty.

Embracing Jiu-Jitsu

As the Victoria’s Secret icon and a global fashion icon, Gisele has always been open about her journey of self-discovery. She was notably absent from the 2024 fashion show, but her focus has shifted to something more meaningful—jiu-jitsu. At first, she wasn’t too keen on taking it up for herself.

“Initially, I wasn’t even considering it for myself,” she told Dust Magazine. “But when I brought [her son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense.”

Her interest in martial arts deepened as she learned more about it. “I became really interested in the philosophy [behind practicing jiu-jitsu],” Gisele explained. “It felt very much in line with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.”

And here’s the sweetest part of the story: “It’s actually because of my son that I met Joaquim,” she continued. “I have a friend who told me about the Valente brothers and their martial art school, and since I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction, I thought he might be interested in this.”
