Gisele Bündchen, 44, and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, 35, are expecting their first child together, marking a new chapter in their relationship. A source close to Bündchen confirmed the news on October 28, sharing that the couple is thrilled to start this journey. “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 said.

The couple’s baby will be Bündchen’s third child, joining her 14-year-old son, Benjamin, and 11-year-old daughter, Vivian, whom she shares with her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady. Bündchen’s relationship with Valente blossomed after her split from Brady, which was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. While she shares joint custody of her children with Brady, Valente has gradually become a significant presence in Bündchen’s life.

Gisele Bundchen, was promoted ladt year to purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu after only two years of training, setting a record for the fastest promotion to this rank. This raises the question of whether she will continue her training at this level.

The supermodel and Valente, known for his Jiu-Jitsu expertise, were first seen together publicly in November 2022 during a family trip to Costa Rica. Though initially private about the nature of their relationship, the two confirmed they had been dating since June 2023. Bündchen, who found solace and support in Valente after her split from Brady, reportedly feels more grounded and content. A source mentioned in June 2024 that “Gisele has blossomed since her split from Brady. She is secure and happy, and so busy with her life that she doesn’t have time to dwell on the negatives out there.”

Despite her thriving relationship with Valente, Bündchen has kept a relatively low profile this year. Notably, she did not attend the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, held on October 15, even as some of her former colleagues made their returns.

As the couple embarks on this new journey together, Bündchen appears to be embracing her fresh start with optimism, drawing strength from her relationship with Valente. With their baby on the way, Bündchen and Valente look forward to blending their lives and nurturing a loving environment for their growing family.
