After months of cryptic Instagram posts from her ex Tom Brady, supermodel Gisele Bündchen has reportedly given birth to a new baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
TMZ reported on Wednesday, February 5 that the 44-year-old Brazilian model, who shares 15-year-old daughter Vivian and 12-year-old son Benjamin with the 47-year-old former quarterback, is “super happy” after welcoming a new family member.

Bündchen and Valente, 37, met when the athlete started instructing the model in jiu-jitsu. They announced their pregnancy in October 2024, and a friend shared the following statement with People: “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 sex and name of the baby have yet to be announced.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel gave her followers a rare look at her baby bump on Wednesday, January 29 on Instagram. In the caption, she wrote, “Happiness is an inside job. Remember, you are the only one who has the power to create the life you want to live. 🙏.”
The Brazilian-born beauty previously wrote on Instagram about the challenges she faced as she prepared to welcome her new baby. “There’s no guide to life, no perfect roadmap to follow,” she wrote, but she reminded her followers, “Everything you are, is a choice! To feel good, to be healthy, and to cultivate a positive mindset are daily choices that only you can commit to.”
Bündchen previously described Valente, who runs a jiu-jitsu studio in Miami with his brothers, as “a person that I admire and that I trust,” and continued by saying, “It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”
Brady and Bündchen were married from 2009 until late 2022, and she officially began dating Valente in March 2024.
