AceShowbiz - Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, have welcomed their first child together. Sources confirm that both the mother and the baby are in good health. This news comes after Bündchen's high-profile divorce from retired NFL legend Tom Brady, which was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
The former couple shares two children, 15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian. Additionally, Brady has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Despite the split, Bündchen has reportedly remained a "bonus" parent to Jack.
Upon hearing the news, sources close to Brady report that he is happy for his ex-wife and wishes her nothing but the best. "Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung," a source confided to the Daily Mail, indicating that the news was initially challenging for the retired quarterback. Nonetheless, he has expressed well-wishes for Bündchen, acknowledging the new chapter in her life.
Bündchen's relationship with Joaquim Valente, her 37-year-old jiu-jitsu trainer, blossomed shortly after her divorce. They were first linked together in June 2023, and by February 2024, they were spotted sharing a romantic Valentine's Day in Miami. Bündchen, who denied dating Valente before her split from Brady, debuted her baby bump in October 2024.
TMZ broke the news of the birth on February 5. Brady was reportedly informed about Bündchen's pregnancy in advance to avoid hearing about it through the media. Despite the initial sting, Brady has begun to process the information and move on, focusing on his career and personal life.
Brady's professional life post-retirement continues to flourish. He is currently in his first season as an NFL commentator with Fox, a role he embraced with a $375 million, 10-year contract. He also recently became a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, further diversifying his career interests.
As for Gisele and Joaquim, the couple appears to be enjoying this new chapter, with sources describing them as deeply in love and committed to creating a loving environment for their family. Benjamin and Vivian are reportedly thrilled about their new sibling, marking a harmonious blending of the extended family.
