Gisele Bündchen has put her hardest days behind her, and these days she's living a dream life with her family. The Brazilian supermodel closed out 2025 by marrying Joaquim Valente, the father of her third child, who turned one in January. Now it's Gisele's turn to celebrate her own trip around the sun, and she rang in the milestone right after an unforgettable vacation in Tahiti with her husband and kids.

"I feel so grateful for this new cycle that's beginning and for all the adventures that lie ahead. May the love and kindness you share return to each of you a thousandfold," she added in the post, which included several photos, starting with one of her eyes closed as sunlight hit her face.

Another photo in the carousel showed the simple but original, mouthwatering birthday cake Gisele celebrated with: a heart-shaped cake decorated with walnuts and a single small candle. On the table next to the dessert sat a vase of white hydrangeas, along with a few balloons and a tiny hand reaching for them. It didn't take much to guess that hand belonged to her youngest son.

"What a special place!" the model wrote alongside the album from her unforgettable vacation. Gisele opened with a sweet photo of herself holding her baby's hand at the water's edge.
Her toddler popped up in several more photos, alongside his dad, Joaquim Valente, as well as his older half-siblings, Benjamin and Vivian, whom Gisele shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. The mom of three has worked hard to protect her youngest's privacy, but these latest photos revealed just how much he's grown and how adorable he looks with his little blond curls.
