Wedding in Paradise

Parents-to-be Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente are ready to tie the knot

HAPPILY EVER AFTER "Gisele never thought she'd be married twice, but she's confident that this marriage will work," says a source. "She's incredibly happy."

The setting could not have been more romantic. On Nov. 28, Gisele Bündchen — showing off her baby bump in a bikini and lacy white cover-up — strolled hand in hand with beau Joaquim Valente, stopping to share a sweet kiss and hug on a beach near her estate in Costa Rica. “With the sun shining and the waves crashing,” adds a source, “it looked like they were in their own little paradise.”

It’s the perfect spot for a wedding. “They’re planning a low-key wedding there after the baby is born,” the source says of the supermodel and the jiujitsu instructor, who are expecting their first child together in early 2025. Gisele, who divorced Tom Brady after 13 years of marriage in 2022, “never thought she’d fall in love this quickly, but this relationship has felt easy and organic from the start,” adds an insider. “She’s entirely focused on the baby right now, so they’ll probably do something very small and simple.”
