Gisele Bündchen is pregnant with her third child. The 44-year-old Brazilian supermodel shares two kids with her ex husband Tom Brady. Baby No. 3 is from her relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, whom she has been dating since 2023. The news of her pregnancy broke on Monday, October 28, but get this: She’s already halfway through her pregnancy. Maybe that’s why the former Angel was not a part of the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Show on October 15.

Gisele and Tom were married for 13 years and divorced in October 2022. Gisele and Joaquim were first seen spending time together in November 2022 on a visit to Costa Rica with her children, however, they denied being in a romantic relationship at the time. But by the time February 2024 came around, the pair had caught feelings for each other, as the kids say.
Speaking of kids, keep reading to learn more about the baby the two are expecting and how Tom Brady found out about the pregnancy.
Gisele loves being with someone who is from Brazil.
“Joaquim was there for Gisele through her divorce, as a friend, and they turned romantic this past summer,” a source shared with Us Weekly in February 2024. The source also shared that “Gisele also loves being with someone who is from Brazil, they both have a shared history that she hasn’t had with anyone she’s dated.”
Confirmation of the pregnancy!
“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,” a source close to the couple told People on October 28.
“It’s actually because of my son that I met Joaquim,” the model said to Dust magazine in 2021. “I have a friend who told me about the Valente brothers and their martial art school, and since I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction, I thought he might be interested in this.”
Working out together led to working out together.
Gisele started working out with Joaquim as well and they became friends. That friendship morphed into something more after Gisele and Tom divorced in October 2022, ending their 13-year marriage.
Gisele shares two children with ex-hubby Tom Brady.
The former couple share 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Gisele also considers herself a “bonus mom” to 17-year-old Jack, whom Tom shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.
So how did Tom find out that Gisele is going to be a mom again?
Gisele gave her high-profile ex a heads up about her pregnancy.
TMZ reports that Gisele didn’t want Tom Brady to find out she was pregnant from a headline, so she made sure to let him know before the press got any wind of it. Of course, she let her kids know as well.
How do Gisele’s kids feel about Joaquim?
According to the source that spoke to Us Weekly, Gisele’s kids “really like him.” They are also probably used to him being around at this point as he’s been living with Gisele in Miami for some time now.
Are they expecting a girl or a boy?
According to sources that spoke to TMZ, Gisele and Joaquim want to be surprised, so they are waiting until the baby is born to find out. The celebrity gossip outlet also reported that Gisele waited to learn the gender of her two other children until they were born as well.
And when will the new baby arrive?
According to TMZ, even though the news of Gisele’s pregnancy just broke, she’s already five or six months along. That means the baby will be here soon. I’m thinking early 2025 seems about right.
Congratulations to Gisele and Joaquim! May the rest of Gisele’s pregnancy go smoothly and lead to a safe, easy delivery, and a healthy baby that I have no doubt will be greeted by an abundance of love.
