Alabama fans keeping up with celebrity news may not be aware that Gisele Bündchen, the iconic Victoria’s Secret supermodel, is expecting a new addition to her family with her jiujutsu boyfriend Joaquim Valente. According to TMZ, this will be the first child for the couple, who confirmed their romance in June 2023 after sparking relationship rumors in late 2022.
Though this will be Gisele’s first child with Joaquim, she is already a loving mother to two children with her ex-husband, retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady: son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11. She also plays an active role in the life of Tom’s 16-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Reflecting on her experience with Jack, Gisele once expressed how becoming his stepmom taught her a lot about parenting.
“I got to experience how it is to feel, to be a mom before I was even a mom. To be a bonus mom,” she told ABC News’ Robin Roberts in an interview last March. “I got to experience how my heart could feel that love and just expand in ways I never thought were possible.”
