Gisele Bündchen shows off her growing baby bump while vacationing with boyfriend Joaquim Valente

Gisele Bündchen is glowing! The supermodel, who is expecting her first child with partner Joaquim Valente, was recently spotted strolling hand-in-hand with him along a serene beach in Costa Rica. The couple, clearly in love, paused to share a kiss as they enjoyed the gentle ocean breeze and stunning coastal views.

Gisele, dressed in a breezy lace cover-up that accentuated her growing baby bump, radiated happiness. Joaquim, looking equally content in a casual green T-shirt and camouflage shorts, held her hand as they wandered along the sandy shores.

Tom Brady's go-to family vacationing spot

The picturesque beach is no stranger to Bündchen. It holds sentimental value as the location of countless vacations with her ex-husband, Tom Brady. The former couple, who divorced in late 2022 after 13 years of marriage, used to retreat to Costa Rica annually after football season. Their love for the spot was so deep that they even celebrated a second wedding at their beachside estate, complete with a yoga pavilion and a pickleball court.

Now, the idyllic destination is the backdrop for a new chapter in Gisele's life. While family traditions marked her time with Brady, her moments with Joaquim reflect a fresh and exciting beginning.

"Gisele took the kids and headed to Costa Rica with Joaquim [Valente] to spend the holiday with each other," said a source to Page Six. "Tom is supportive and that's the arrangement he and Gisele have agreed upon."Brady was busy working on Thanksgiving, as it's a significant day for football. "He's going to be calling the game for Fox that day and will be tied up with work," continued the insider. He was one of the Fox Sports NFL broadcasters, commenting on the game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.
