Gisele Bündchen introduced her baby to the world on a very special day. The 44-year-old Brazilian model shared the first photos of her newborn on Mother’s Day in the U.S. Three months after giving birth, the proud mom of three posted a sweet photo holding her baby, though she hasn’t revealed the name yet. Gisele admitted she’s been "quiet" since the birth but wanted to share how much she’s enjoying this chapter, saying she feels "happier than ever."
The Brazilian supermodel—and Tom Brady’s ex—opened up in a heartfelt post, reflecting on life with her newborn. "I’ve been quiet around here but busy living life... Sometimes the most beautiful moments aren’t shared; they’re simply lived," she wrote. She went on to share how motherhood has shifted her perspective: "Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present."
Family Embrace
Another photo shows the joyful mom wrapped in a warm hug from her partner and three children, capturing a milestone moment in her life. Pictured alongside her are Joaquim Valente, her partner and the baby’s father, as well as her 15-year-old son Benjamin and 12-year-old daughter Vivian, from her previous marriage to Brady.
In her message, she also paid a heartfelt tribute to her late mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed away in January 2024 at the age of 75.
The news of Bündchen’s baby first broke on February 5, initially reported by TMZ. The Brazilian supermodel welcomed her third child—the first for jiu-jitsu instructor Valente, with whom she’s built a new chapter following her divorce from Brady.
Just days before giving birth, Bündchen had planned a home delivery, something both she and Joaquim were fully on board with and eagerly looking forward to as they anticipated meeting their baby.
Gisele isn’t just happy with her growing family—she also feels “more free.” A source close to her told Page Six that she’s felt more fulfilled since being with Valente, noting that for a long time she felt like she was “living in Tom’s shadow.”
While Bündchen is deeply grateful for what she shared with Brady and feels “blessed by her children”—15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian—she now feels a renewed sense of freedom with her partner. “She’s absolutely loving this new chapter,” the source added.
