Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, is expecting her third child and the dad is the Jiu-jitsu instructor she fell in love with.
Gisele, who divorced NFL star Tom Brady - dad to their two kids, son Benjamin Rein, 14, daughter Vivian Lake, 11 - previously denied she was in a relationship with Brazilian boyfriend Joaquim Valente while married.
The model and the Jiu-jitsu professor have been dating since June 2023, seven months after she finalised her divorce from retired NFL quarterback, Brady, who is also dad to John "Jack" Edward Thomas Moynahan, who he shares with ex-Bridget Moynahan.
"Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life, and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family," a source told People magazine in a statement.
The couple were first spotted out together after confirming their relationship in March 2024, when the two were photographed outside her mansion in Surfside, Florida.
They have since been photographed many times, including when out bike riding and hanging out in Florida.
The two were first rumoured to be dating just one month after the model finalised her divorce from Brady, after pictures of them surfaced online.
"This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first," Bunchden told The New York Times in March, although she did not name Valente directly. "It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent."
The Victoria's Secret model also addressed rumours she and Valente started their relationship while she was still married to Brady, saying "that's a lie," adding these types of rumours are "something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful."
Brady broke his silence on Instagram just hours after the news of the pregnancy broke, with a poignant post on his Instagram story.
The 47-year-old shared a photo of a sunset, soundtracked by The Chicks' cover of Landslide by Fleetwood Mac.
He shared the lyrics: "Oh mirror in the sky/ what is love? Can the child within my heart/ rise above? Can the child within my heart rise above?". The song, written by Stevie Nicks, deals with the topic of challenges and changes in a relationship and identity.
But Brady has yet to formally comment on his ex-wife's happy news, as they continue to co-parent their son and daughter together.
The pair announced their divorce in October 2022, sharing separate posts on their social medias revealing their "amicable" decision to split.
"The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always," supermodel Gisele shared on Instagram.
