A few days ago, news broke that Gisele B?ndchen is expecting her third child, her first with her new partner, her jiu-jitsu coach Joaquim Valente. Gisele, the supermodel who has graced the cover of over a thousand magazines in her 20-year career and the ex-wife of NFL GOAT Tom Brady, is reportedly 5-6 months pregnant according to multiple sources. These sources also state that B?ndchen wanted to make sure that Brady and their two children found out about her pregnancy in a personal setting, rather than through headlines or gossip columns - a mature approach on her part.
Gisele first photos of her baby bump
Brady and Gisele dated from 2009 until they split in 2022, and they have two children, Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake, whom they have shared custody of since their divorce. Since the pregnancy news broke, Gisele has been hounded by paparazzi trying to capture photos of her baby bump, just as she was during her years as the highest-paid model in the world - and they've been successful. Now that the world is aware of her pregnancy, Gisele is proudly showing off her baby bump to fans and the general public.
As time goes on and her pregnancy progresses, we're sure to see more photos of Gisele with a bigger baby bump. The pregnancy also explains why Gisele was recently spotted wearing oversized clothes, probably to cover her bump and avoid false rumors and conflicts, but now that's in the past and she can continue her life as usual with her partner, Joaquim Valente. With this news, the jokes about her and Valente in "The Roast of Tom Brady", available on Netflix, now take on a whole new meaning. And while Brady hasn't openly commented on Gisele's pregnancy, and probably won't, his Instagram history the day the news broke suggests it may have touched a nerve.
Gisele's historic modeling career
Brazilian supermodel Gisele B?ndchen began modeling in the late 1990s and quickly rose to fame, known for her iconic "horse walk," and her striking beauty. She achieved enormous success, becoming one of the highest paid models in the world - a title she held for over a decade. Most notably, Gisele was a Victoria's Secret Angel from 2000 to 2007, a role that brought her international fame. She also became the first Brazilian model to achieve global supermodel status, solidifying her status as a fashion icon. She also achieved great fame when she hung out with Leonardo Dicaprio back at the turn of the century.
So for those who think she became famous because of her marriage to Tom Brady, think again. In fact, there was a rumor back when Brady played for the New England Patriots that she actually made more money than him because of her high-profile endorsement deals. This could very well be true, as Brady often took pay cuts to help build a stronger team under the salary cap. By earning less himself, he allowed the Patriots to fill other key positions, a strategy that helped him secure those six NFL championships with the team.
