Gisele's New Life

On Oct. 29, one day after news broke that Gisele Bündchen is pregnant with her third child — her first with boyfriend of one year Joaquim Valente — the supermodel debuted her baby bump outside a workout class in Miami. Dressed in black leggings, a black cap and a button-down shirt, Bündchen was spotted leaving a Pilates studio. “She’s in her second trimester,” a source tells Us, adding that the star is “so excited to be a mom again.”

It’s been an eventful two years for the 44-year-old model, who split from former NFL star Tom Brady after 13 years of marriage in October 2022. (The exes are parents to Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11.) That November, she bought an $11.5 million mansion in Surfside, Fla., not far from Brady’s $17 million estate. She and her jiujitsu teacher turned boyfriend Valente, 37, became romantically involved in the summer of 2023 and, according to the source, moved in together soon after. In April, Bündchen released her first cookbook, Nourish, and in June, she starred in a new Balmain campaign. Her pregnancy is the icing on the cake of a thrilling new chapter.

Perfect Fit

Things between Bündchen and Valente moved quickly. “Once [Bündchen’s] divorce was finalized, they moved in together and have been attached at the hip ever since,” says the source. In February, a source told Us the couple “have a really strong bond,” adding that Bündchen and Valente, who are both from Brazil, “have a lot in common.”

They met when she enrolled son Benjamin at Valente’s martial arts academy in Miami. She began training with him soon after. “I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense,” she wrote in a February 2022 Instagram post featuring Valente, thanking him and his brothers for “being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun.”
