Gisele Bündchen, 44, and her boyfriend, Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, 35, are overjoyed as they expect their first child together. This will be Bündchen’s third child, joining her son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11, from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. Fans were stunned by the news on October 28, as the supermodel had shown no signs of pregnancy, leaving many wondering how she managed to keep it under wraps for months.
The model, known for her public social media presence, frequently shares glimpses of her life, including special moments with her children. But she provided no hint that she was expecting. Earlier in October, Bündchen shared an Instagram Reel promoting an herbal supplement brand, strategically filmed from the chest up, keeping any signs of pregnancy hidden. Her attention to detail and subtlety have left fans impressed with how skillfully she maintained her privacy.
Speculation had arisen over her possible appearance at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, a nostalgic moment for her fans given her iconic run as a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1999 to 2006. However, Bündchen skipped the event, with some fans now wondering if her absence was due to her pregnancy.
Throughout September and October, Bündchen shared various posts from her modeling projects, including a campaign with Colcci Jeans and an inspired shoot for Zara. Her Colcci post, featuring images of her posing with an exposed stomach in Brazil, left fans unsure of when the photos were taken, adding to the air of mystery around her pregnancy. In her Zara shoot, she channeled Italian actress Monica Vitti in a chic look by Steven Meisel, with her stomach concealed by a fur jacket and baggy trousers.
Bündchen’s carefully planned appearances in form-fitting outfits in Vogue Brasil and casual beach looks on her family trip to Bahia, Brazil, offered no clues of her pregnancy. A summer post on September 22, captioned “Best of summer! O melhor do verão!”, showed her in a bikini, leading fans to believe that the supermodel was in her usual shape.
Finally, on October 28, a source close to Bündchen confirmed the news of her pregnancy, sharing that the couple is thrilled about “this new chapter in their life.” The source added that the couple is excited to create a peaceful, loving home for their growing family, embracing this new beginning together.
Since their relationship began in June 2023, Bündchen and Valente have kept a low profile, balancing her high-profile career with a grounded family life. As they prepare to welcome their new child, fans and followers alike are eager to see how this next chapter unfolds for the supermodel who continues to captivate with her grace, privacy, and style.
