Gisele Bündchen planning for home birth, ‘excited’ about baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente: report
Gisele Bündchen is planning to welcome her third child into the world with an at-home birth plan, according to a new report.
The Brazilian supermodel, 44, is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente, and sources close to the star say she’s “excited” about this new chapter in her life.
“Gisele’s very happy in Miami,” a source told People. “She enjoys her life there. Everyone’s thriving.”
The insider added that Bündchen feels “very lucky” to have met her jiu-jitsu instructor beau.
“They started out as friends, but have been seriously dating for over a year,” the source went on. “She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth.”
The pair are not planning to find out the baby’s sex ahead of the birth, the source added.
Page Six has reached out to Bündchen’s reps for comment.
Bündchen is already a proud mom to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tom Brady.
The model reportedly “informed Tom and their two children that she was pregnant with Joaquim Valente’s child before the news broke,” a source told TMZ.
However, it’s “unclear” how long the former NFL player and their kids knew about her pregnancy.
While Brady has yet to publicly address Bündchen’s baby news, he did share a cryptic post on social media just hours after his ex’s baby news came to light.
The 7-time Super Bowl winner took to his Instagram Story on Monday to share a sunset photo paired with The Chicks’ 2022 track “Landslide.”
“Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?” read the lyrics on the post. “Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?”
Brady, 47, added three red heart emojis above where the song lyrics were displayed.
Bündchen’s baby news comes exactly two years after the exes announced their divorce after 13 years of marriage.
That same year, Bündchen and Valente sparked dating rumors — but their relationship didn’t become romantic until June 2023.
Earlier this year, a source told Page Six the couple is “deeply in love” and stays together regularly.
