Gisele Bündchen has made a surprising decision to skip the highly anticipated Met Gala this May, as a new report indicates. The supermodel will not be making her red carpet debut with her new romantic partner, Joaquim Valente. However, she declined the invitation for a very special reason.
While the news has fans wondering why, as Gisele is known to be one of the most familiar faces at the exclusive event over the years, it turns out Gisele's reason is a deeply personal one. Sources have confirmed to TMZ that the Brazilian icon is opting to stay home with her new baby, whom she recently welcomed with her boyfriend.
The pair continue to keep their personal life private and have been spotted enjoying a new chapter in their lives, looking happier than ever after expanding their family with the birth of their baby boy, River.
The couple, who first sparked romance rumors in 2023, have been keeping a low profile since the birth of their child, with Gisele focused on enjoying a new special moment in her motherhood journey. The couple has been photographed around Miami with the new baby.
Gisele is now prioritizing her family and personal life, and while her absence marks a significant departure from the glamorous events she is used to attending, her personal life and family relationship are a priority at the moment.
"Gisele's doing well," an insider told People about the new stage of her life. "She seems very happy and content," the source explained. "She just focused on her family and rested for the first month after the baby arrived."
The source shared that she is taking it slow and will be returning to her active lifestyle gradually. "She's slowly taking up yoga again now. She enjoys shorter outings with her older kids and Joaquim," said the source."Her older kids are helpful with the baby. Gisele tears up when she sees all the kids together - she still can't believe she has a newborn. She feels very blessed.”
