Gisele Bundchen showed off her growing baby bump as she stepped out in Miami on Monday – ahead of the arrival of her first baby with Joaquim Valente, Daily Mail reports,
The supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, 44, who is reportedly ‘five or six months along’ in her pregnancy. looked radiant as she displayed her stomach in a grey sweater.
She paired this with black leggings and wore her blonde locks tied up under a baseball cap.
The Brazilian beauty and Valente, 35, have been dating since June 2023 – shortly after her divorce from Tom Brady – with whom she shares two children – son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11.
Brady found ex-wife Gisele Bundchen’s pregnancy announcement ‘a hard pill to swallow,’ according to sources who claim the NFL legend was ‘stung’ by the news.
Gisele Bundchen broke the news to their two children before informing Brady , who was ‘upset’ and needed time to process.
‘Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung’, the insider dished to DailyMail. ‘Tom had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time.’
The source explained that while the strategic advisor kept his cards close to his chest, his feelings were clear to those around him.
‘There’s not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset,’ they continued. ‘It was a hard pill to swallow. It was never something he ever thought was going to happen.
‘But she is still the mother of two of his children, so he wants her to be OK. He has to move on and with her pregnant, she has definitely moved on, so he can’t be upset about it anymore.
‘It is out of his control, out of his hands. He is not letting it get to him anymore.’
The insider claimed the sports champ will embrace his son and daughter’s new half sibling, much like Bundchen did with his first born, Jack, now 17, whom he shares with his ex Bridget Moynahan.
‘Back in the day when they started to fall in love, she accepted and loved his son that he already had, so he is going to give the same respect to her future child,’ they said.
‘At the end of the day, everyone is still family.’
Brady, who recently shocked fans with an offensive slur, has yet to make an official comment about the news, but he did share a wistful social media post, quoting Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 song Landslide.
‘Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?’ he wrote alongside a photo of the setting sun on Monday.
A source close to the star confirmed to People: ‘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.’
TMZ has reported that the couple are waiting until the birth to find out if they have a baby girl or a baby boy.
Joaquim, who is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, owns a jiu-jitsu studio with his brothers Pedro and Gui Valente in Miami.
They first met in December 2021 when she sought out jiu-jitsu training for her son and then decided to take classes too.
In early July, the lovebirds enjoyed a summer vacation to Costa Rica with her two children.
Gisele Bundchen told Dust Magazine: ‘Initially, I wasn’t even considering it for myself. But when I brought [her son Ben] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self defense.’
Adding that the jiu-jitsu philosophy interested her the most: ‘It felt very much in line with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.’
The duo sparked romance rumors when they were seen together in November 2022 in Costa Rica, two weeks after her divorce from Tom Brady was finalized.
Gisele Bundchen denied they were romantically involved.
Despite the questionable timeline of their relationship, Bündchen has denied cheating on her husband of 13 years.
‘That is a lie,’ she told the New York Times in late March, explaining that she doesn’t ‘want to make my life a tabloid.’
‘This is 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,’ explained Gisele Bündchen.
After months of being romantically linked, Bündchen confirmed her new relationship earlier this year, although she didn’t name Valente.
‘This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,’ Bündchen told NYT. ‘It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.’
The couple was first romantically linked on Valentine’s Day as they were photographed sharing a kiss during a date in Miami. Page Six reported at the time that the couple is ‘deeply in love.’
A source told People that Bündchen and Valente ‘have been dating since June,’ adding: ‘They’re taking it slow.’
Another insider said ‘they started out as friends’ and had a lot in common, both moving from their native Brazil at a young age.
‘He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce,’ the source said. ‘Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.’
In February 2024, a source for People revealed that Gisele and Joaquim have actually been dating since June 2023.
Tom and Gisele confirmed they were divorcing in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They revealed in the announcement that they had already finalized their divorce.
The stars first met in December 2006 after being set up on a blind date by a mutual friend.
During their marriage, they welcomed son Benjamin Rein Brady on December 8, 2009 and daughter Vivian on December 5, 2012.
Tom has son John ‘Jack’ Edward Thomas Moynahan with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, born August 22, 2007.
