AceShowbiz - Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who recently debuted her baby bump, is indulging in her culinary talents and Brazilian heritage to nourish herself during her pregnancy. According to an insider, Bundchen has been craving dishes she grew up with in Brazil, such as "grilled ribeye with chimichurri and sautéed greens."

To satisfy these cravings, she has been cooking these meals at home for her children, 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tom Brady.

Apart from Brazilian cuisine, Bundchen reportedly enjoys banana smoothies for breakfast and pesto chicken lettuce wraps for lunch. The insider praised her culinary skills, describing her as a "great cook" who prepares "incredible" meals "with ease."

Interestingly, Bundchen is known for her domestic nature and has previously delighted her former partners, Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio, with her homemade Brazilian dishes. "She uses a lot of fresh vegetables with spices," the source said.

Bundchen is embracing her role as the chef in her relationships and is currently cooking for her boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. The couple's pregnancy was announced in late October, and they are excited to create a peaceful and loving environment for their family.

Bundchen plans to have a home birth and will wait until the baby's birth to learn its sex. She and Valente have reportedly no immediate wedding plans and will live together for now due to their significant difference in net worth.

Despite their separation, Bundchen and Brady had considered having a third child during their marriage but did not actively pursue it. Her current pregnancy is a surprising development for Brady, according to an insider.
