Gisele Bündchen is set to embrace motherhood once again as she is reportedly expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. This news comes from multiple sources, although E! News has yet to receive a response from Bündchen’s representative.
The couple, who sparked dating rumors after vacationing together in Costa Rica in November 2022, will welcome their first child together. Bündchen already has two children with her former husband, Tom Brady: 14-year-old son Benjamin Reid and 11-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. Additionally, she plays a stepmother role to Brady’s 16-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with ex-partner Bridget Moynahan.
Bündchen has expressed that her experience with Jack has prepared her for being a mother to her biological children. In a previous interview, she mentioned, “I got to experience how it is to feel, to be a mom before I was even a mom. To be a bonus mom.” She reflected on the expansion of her love and emotions through that experience.
Although co-parenting with Brady, whom she divorced in October 2022, has presented challenges, she appreciates that both of them prioritize their children’s well-being. “Tom has to have time with them, and I have time with them,” she stated. “It’s amazing because they get to really experience more enrichment for their lives.”
Bündchen also noted that her children benefit from experiencing “two different worlds,” which she believes is wonderful for their development.
