AceShowbiz - The gender and middle name of Gisele Bundchen's newborn son have been revealed. Her son's middle name is River, bringing continuity to the water-themed middle names she chose for her other children.
The 44-year-old model shares two other children, Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake, with her ex-husband, former football star Tom Brady. In keeping with the aquatic theme, the names "Rein" and "Lake" complement their new brother's name.
Bündchen and boyfriend Joaquim Valente, a 37-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor, began dating in June 2023 following Bündchen's divorce from Brady in late 2022. Earlier reports speculate that the pregnancy was unexpected but welcomed wholeheartedly.
According to sources, "Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him."
News of Bündchen's pregnancy was first revealed in October 2024, leaving Brady, the father of her first two children, reportedly "stunned." Despite initial emotional turbulence, Brady has chosen to maintain a positive outlook. "He could complain but what's the point. He got the best out of the relationship with Gisele until it fell apart," a source close to the NFL star revealed.
While neither Bündchen nor Valente have publicly confirmed their baby's first name, the couple's friends and family have shared their excitement. Bündchen has been very active in her advocacy for nature, making her third child's middle name, River, even more meaningful.
"In every major city, they're putting toxins in rivers, and we have to think about what we're doing, how we are jeopardizing the very ecosystem that provides us life," she remarked in a recent interview.
Both of Bündchen's older children have reportedly responded positively to the news of their new sibling. The model's excitement about this new chapter has been palpable, as she takes a step back from her career to focus on her growing family. "Gisele is so excited to be a mom again," shared an insider, further underscoring her dedication to this significant life milestone.
