Model Gisele Bündchen is expecting a baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente and will wait for birth to discover the child’s sex, outlets reported Monday.
Bündchen, who has a girl, Vivian, 11, and a boy, Benjamin, 14, with ex-husband Tom Brady, was seen hanging out with Valente, her jiu-jitsu instructor, amid her 2022 divorce from the NFL great. Romance blossomed later, a source told People.
“They started out as friends, but have been seriously dating for over a year,” the source told the magazine. “She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth.”
The two, both from Brazil, are based in the Miami area.
Bündchen, 44, gave Brady, 47, and their children the news before it went public, sources told TMZ.

Back in March, Bündchen confirmed to The New York Times that she was dating someone but did not name him. “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she said. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
Shortly after the announcement, Brady, now a football analyst on Fox, shared an Instagram story that some outlets interpreted as a reaction to the news.
The Chicks’ version of the Fleetwood Mac hit “Landslide” played with a photo of a low sun over nature on a hillside.
“Oh mirror in the sky, what is love,” the printed lyrics on his post read. “Can the child inside my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?”
