Gisele Bündchen Comforts Daughter In First Outing Since Mother's Death

Gisele Bündchen is being a rock for her children amid the devastating loss of their grandmother, Vânia Nonnenmacher.

The supermodel's mother sadly passed away on Sunday after a battle with cancer.

Bündchen was seen for the first time since Nonnenmacher's passing on Wednesday, January 31, 2024. The model was spotted with her 11-year-old daughter, Vivian, taking a stroll in Surfside, Florida. The mother-daughter duo was joined by their German Shepard pet.

A grieving Bündchen looked somber dressed in a casual ensemble of black leggings and an oversized grey sweater. She donned a black baseball cap to shield her face from probably prying eyes. Vivian opted for a similar look, donning a pair of baggy joggers and an oversized sky-blue hoodie.

At one point, the former Victoria's Secret Angel was seen pulling her daughter into a tight hug, seemingly comforting her amid the passing of her grandmother. During the short stroll, which took place not too far from the model's $11.5 million mansion, the pair also played fetch with their pet.

The outing came a day after the "Taxi" actress broke her silence about Nonnenmacher's death and dedicated a tear-jerking tribute to her beloved mother. Taking to Instagram to share a carousel of sweet memories with the late matriarch — including one of Nonnenmacher bonding with her two grandkids — a heartbroken Bündchen wrote:

"Beloved mom, It hurts to know that I won’t be able to hug you anymore, but I know that you will always be watching over us. You were an angel on earth, always helping everyone around you."

She continued, "I am so grateful to be your daughter and to have learned from you. Thank you for being the best role model of love, strength, compassion, courage, and grace. I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and will live by the values you taught me."

The Brazillian native declared that her mother would "live forever" through the many lives she touched. The heart-melting tribute was concluded with the words, "Thank you for giving me five best friends for life. Your love will always guide us.

I will see you in my dreams. Love you ❤️."

Per reports, Nonnenmacher passed away at the age of 75, taking her last breath at Hospital Moinhos de Vento in Porto Alegre Sunday, Brazil.

The beloved matriarch welcomed Bündchen and her five other sisters with university professor Valdir Bündchen. She was a retired banker who formerly worked at Banco do Brasil.

Insiders reveal that a wake was scheduled for Monday morning at the Ecumenical Chapel of the Metropolitan Crematorium in Porto Alegre, after which a farewell ceremony will be held much later.

While Nonnenmacher was alive, her superstar supermodel daughter never shied away from publicly celebrating her. When she turned 73 in November 2022, Bündchen dedicated a heartwarming tribute to her mother to mark the milestone.

The 43-year-old wrote at the time, "Happy birthday Mom! I am forever grateful for all that you have done and continue to do for us. Thank you for always loving, inspiring and teaching us. Thank you for giving me life! Love you so much!"

She once described Nonnenmacher as her "hero" during an International Women's Day celebration, recalling how her mother sacrificed so much to raise six girls. "My mom devoted her entire life to her family and did it with such grace," she wrote in a blog entry on her website. "She is the reason why I believe a woman is the core of a family."

Following the news of Bündchen's mom's death, fans of the supermodel have extended their condolences on social media. One fan penned, "My condolences to my queen. God is taking care of her in the best place in the world. And she will be watching you from wherever she is. She raised and formed wonderful daughters, the greatest gift she gave to the world and the people around you. I love you Gise🙏🏻❤️😔."
