Gisele Bündchen is set to embrace motherhood as she is reportedly expecting her first child with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente. This news has been confirmed by multiple sources, although a representative for Bündchen has not yet responded to requests for comment.
Bündchen, a former Victoria’s Secret model, has two children from her previous marriage to NFL star Tom Brady: a 14-year-old son named Benjamin Reid and an 11-year-old daughter called Vivian Lake. She is also a stepmother to Brady’s 16-year-old son, Jack, whom he shares with his ex-partner, Bridget Moynahan.
In a previous interview, Bündchen reflected on her experience as a stepmother, stating that it helped prepare her for her role as a biological parent. She expressed that being a “bonus mom” allowed her to feel a deep maternal love before having her own children, explaining how this experience expanded her heart in ways she never imagined.
Despite acknowledging the challenges of co-parenting with Brady, with whom she finalized her divorce in October 2022, Bündchen emphasized their shared commitment to their children’s well-being. She noted the importance of both parents spending quality time with their kids, believing that this arrangement enriches their lives by exposing them to “two different worlds.”
Bündchen also shared insights about her journey in the modeling industry, revealing how being discovered at the mall at age 13 helped her build confidence in her body.
