Gisele Bündchen is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, according to a new report.
The supermodel shares two children, son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with her ex-husband and NFL star Tom Brady, with whom she continues to co-parent.
A source shared with People that the 44-year-old and Valente, 35, 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 former Victoria’s Secret Angel initially sparked romance speculation with the jiu-jitsu instructor in November 2022, shortly after her divorce from Brady, when they were seen on holiday together in Costa Rica.
They were first spotted at the popular Koji restaurant in Provincia de Puntarenas, where they were joined by Valente’s brother, Jordan, along with Bündchen's children.
However, the two didn’t officially start dating until June 2023, People confirmed in 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,” an insider told the outlet at the time.
At the time, multiple sources confirmed the evening was not romantic, with one telling Entertainment Tonight: “Gisele and Joaquim are not dating. Joaquim and his brother, Jordan, are Gisele and her son’s martial arts teachers.
“Jordan and Joaquim were both there with Gisele in Costa Rica.”
In a March 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, Bündchen spoke publicly about her relationship with Valente for the first time and addressed speculation about their romance.
Instead of directly commenting on their reported romance, the model emphasised that she and Valente had become “great friends”.
She told the publication: “He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”
After their divorce, Bündchen and Brady settled on a joint custody arrangement for their children. Besides Benjamin and Vivian, Brady also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
The Standard has contacted Gisele Bündchen’s rep for comment.
