Gisele Bündchen is overjoyed to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, especially now that she no longer has to keep the news a secret. A close source shared with People that the Brazilian model is “excited to embrace this new chapter openly.”
Since the announcement, Bündchen has received an outpouring of positive messages and congratulations. Although she initially wanted to keep her pregnancy private, it had become increasingly difficult, the source revealed.
The news of her pregnancy was made public just over a week ago, and the supermodel is now looking forward to the journey ahead. As she prepares for the baby’s arrival, the insider shared that Bündchen is focusing on her health, which includes practicing pilates, eating a balanced diet, and meditating.
According to the source, Bündchen has “always taken amazing care of herself.” Her pregnancy was officially confirmed on October 28, with a source telling 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.”
Shortly after, another insider added that the couple, who began as friends, has been seriously dating for over a year. The source revealed that Bündchen is “excited about the baby and feels good” and is planning a home birth.
Bündchen also shares two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with her ex-husband Tom Brady, and is a stepmother to his son Jack, 16. The model and Brady were married from 2009 to 2022, and Brady appeared to have an emotional reaction to the news of his ex-wife’s pregnancy.
Just hours after the announcement, Brady posted a cryptic Instagram Story featuring a sunset photo paired with the song “Landslide” by The Chicks (originally by Fleetwood Mac).
The part of the song he shared, “Oh mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?” quickly led fans to speculate about his emotional state, though he never confirmed anything.
However, it’s been reported by TMZ that Brady was made aware of the pregnancy news before it became public, so there’s no need for concern.
