Gisele Bündchen, 44, ‘pregnant with Jiu-Jitsu instructor boyfriend’s baby’ exactly 2 years after Tom Brady split
MODEL Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente are expecting their first child together, according to reports.
The news of Bündchen‘s pregnancy comes exactly two years after she and NFL legend Tom Brady reached a settlement to end their marriage on October 28, 2022.
A source confirmed to People that the Brazilian fashion model, 44, and Valente, 35, are excited about the new chapter in their life.
“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,” the source told the magazine in a statement.
Bündchen is about five to six months pregnant, according to TMZ.
It’s unclear when Bündchen’s due to give birth.
Rumors about Bündchen and Valente’s relationship first emerged in November 2022 after he was seen accompanying the model and her two children on vacation in Costa Rica.
However, the former Victoria’s Secret model denied the dating rumors at the time, saying Valente was simply a friend and her and her children’s Jiu-Jitsu instructor.
But, their relationship turned romantic in June 2023, eight months after Bündchen and Brady split following 13 years of marriage.
Bündchen shares two children with Brady, 14-year-old Benjamin, and 11-year-old Vivian.

The pair filed paperwork to finalize their divorce on October 28, 2022, before publicly announcing the relationship’s end in March 2023.
After her split from the legendary quarterback, 47, Bündchen relocated to Miami, where her relationship with Valente reportedly ramped up.
Valente was spending most nights at her Miami home, Page Six reported in February, adding that the couple was “deeply in love.”
“They were keeping things quiet – but recently, there’s been more PDA,” the source told the outlet.
“They’re happy to be affectionate with each other in public.”
Speculation swirled that Bündchen’s relationship with Valente began while she was still married to Brady.
However, the model quickly dismissed the rumors, refuting the accusation of adultery as false.
“I really don’t want to make my life a tabloid. I don’t want to open myself up to all of that,” she told The New York Times in March.
“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.
“They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family.
“Of course, for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
She confirmed her relationship status to The New York Times but was hesitant to name her new significant other.
“This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she added.
“It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
Meanwhile, Tom Brady, who signed a massive 10-year $375 million broadcasting deal with Fox, has been linked with several supermodels since his divorce from Bündchen.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion was reportedly dating Russian model Irina Shayk, 38, for some time after being spotted together on several occasions throughout 2023.
However, neither Brady nor Shayk confirmed they were ever in a relationship.
During a Fourth of July celebration in the Hamptons this summer, Brady reportedly hit it off with Sports Illustrated model Brooks Nader after they were seen together at the exclusive bash.
“They’ve been hooking up this summer, having rendezvous in different cities. It’s casual,” a source told People in July.
“She has a very active social calendar and likes to party and Tom is often with the kids and doesn’t like the nightlife scene.”
Nevertheless, Brady and Nader have remained silent about their rumored relationship.
