As 2025 comes to a close, Gisele Bündchen is looking back on what she describes as one of the most meaningful years of her life. The Brazilian supermodel shared a heartfelt year-end message alongside a rare glimpse into her private world, highlighting moments of motherhood, love, and quiet joy with her growing family.
“As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full,” Gisele wrote. “This year brought deep lessons and profound growth. Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart.”
She shared the message in both English and Portuguese, reflecting her strong connection to her Brazilian roots and the global community that has followed her journey for decades.
The recap arrived just weeks after news quietly emerged that Bündchen had married longtime partner Joaquim Valente. The couple, who welcomed their first child together in February 2025, reportedly tied the knot in an intimate, family-only ceremony at their home in Surfside, Florida, choosing privacy over publicity to mark the milestone.
Known for carefully protecting her personal life, Gisele offered a curated but deeply personal look at the year through a series of photographs taken throughout 2025.
The images captured tender family moments in Brazil, peaceful scenes from her pregnancy, and snapshots of daily life that reflect a slower, more intentional rhythm.
One particularly touching photo shows Gisele and Joaquim sharing a quiet, loving moment during her pregnancy, embodying the calm and closeness that have defined their relationship.
Another image captures Joaquim playing with their baby in the ocean, a simple yet powerful reflection of the family life they are building together.
The photos also highlight Gisele’s continued commitment to wellness, a cornerstone of her life for years.
From regular workouts to nourishing, beautifully prepared meals, she showed that health and balance remain priorities, even as her role as a mother takes center stage.
The recap made clear that her children from her previous marriage to Tom Brady, Benjamin and Vivian, are very much part of this new chapter. The images suggest a supportive, loving family dynamic, underscoring that her children are embracing their mother’s happiness and the changes in her life.
Since welcoming her third child, Gisele has significantly scaled back her professional commitments, choosing projects more selectively while prioritizing family and well-being. In a recent interview, she reflected on this shift, explaining that she now feels she is truly “living,” rather than simply surviving.
“Thank you, 2025,” she concluded. “I step into this new year with gratitude, love, and trust for what’s next.” For Gisele Bündchen, 2025 was not just another year, it was a turning point, marked by growth and renewal.
