The happy news came as a huge shock. On Oct. 28 - exactly two years to the day that Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady divorced after 13 years of marriage the world learned that the supermodel is pregnant at age 44. While she shares two kids, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with the retired pro quarterback, this is her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente.
But a growing belly isn't the only secret she's been keeping. The Brazilian bombshell's relationship with the jiujitsu instructor, 35, "has felt right to her from the beginning. Everything seemed easy and organic," shares the source. "She wasn't sure she would ever have feelings like this again, and to have it happen so soon after her toxic divorce was a surprise. But Gisele finally feels seen. Friends are saying she calls Joaquim her soulmate and that they're getting married."
A NEW COMMITMENT
When it comes to the "I do"s, think "small and simple," says the source. An insider confirms pals are buzzing about "a low-key wedding in Miami, with just family in attendance." For her second walk down the aisle, "Gisele will wear something white, but not a formal wedding dress," adds the insider, noting that since Joaquim is also from Brazil, "the ceremony will be mostly in Portuguese."
