Gisele B?ndchen, supermodel and former partner of NFL legend Tom Brady, is reportedly expecting a child with her Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. The surprising news broke on Monday night, sparking widespread public interest, but sources close to the family revealed that Brady was aware of the pregnancy before it went public.
According to insiders, B?ndchen wanted to ensure Brady and their two children found out about her pregnancy in a personal setting, rather than from headlines or gossip columns. She reportedly told her ex-husband directly to prevent any misunderstandings or public surprises.
B?ndchen's private conversation with Brady
This effort, sources say, was part of a continued commitment to co-parenting peacefully for the sake of their children.
B?ndchen and Valente's relationship rumors have swirled since June 2023, roughly eight months after her split from Brady. While B?ndchen has not publicly commented on her relationship with Valente, the two have been spotted together on multiple occasions, fueling speculation. Their bond seemed to deepen quickly, and sources close to the couple say they are excited for this new chapter as they prepare to welcome a child in early 2025.
A new chapter for B?ndchen and Valente
With B?ndchen now around five to six months along, the couple is reportedly focused on creating a positive environment for their growing family. A source told People, "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and look forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment." While it's unclear how Brady feels about his ex-wife's latest news, insiders have noted that B?ndchen's priority remains her children's well-being.
After more than a decade together, Brady and B?ndchen finalized their divorce in 2022, but they have maintained a steady co-parenting relationship. Their two children, Benjamin and Vivian, have remained at the center of both parents' lives, and B?ndchen's recent news may bring about adjustments as they navigate this new dynamic.
The public will undoubtedly keep watching as B?ndchen and Valente move forward with their plans, and fans may anticipate further updates from both B?ndchen and Brady as they adjust to this major change in their family life.
