Gisele Bündchen 'Feels Good' Amid Her Third Pregnancy As She Embraces A 'New Chapter' In Her Life

Gisele Bündchen is about to strut into her new role of being a mom of three, and sources have confirmed that she'll be embracing "this new chapter openly."

The supermodel had reportedly tried keeping her pregnancy for boyfriend Joaquim Valente a secret "for as long as she could," but that became quite impossible as her baby bump became more apparent.

Not much of Gisele Bündchen's lifestyle has changed as she still takes her Pilates sessions seriously, with sources adding that her marital status would stay the same.

The former Victoria's Secret angel is seemingly thrilled to expand her family as a source told People Magazine that she's "excited to embrace this new chapter openly."

Bündchen and Valente are expecting their first child together. However, this isn't her first rodeo as she already shares son Benjamin Rein and daughter Vivian Lake with ex-husband Tom Brady.

The insider shared that Bündchen has "received many positive messages and congratulations," adding that while she "wanted to keep it private for as long as she could, doing so was starting to be a challenge."

They explained that she "feels good" and is continuing "pilates and other exercises that will help with birth too," adding that she has "always taken amazing care of herself" and "eats healthy and meditates as well."

It comes after reports claimed the Brazilian supermodel would be slamming the brakes on her modeling career to focus on her pregnancy.

A source told TMZ that Bundchen "shot some projects all the way up until early October" but that she has "since taken a step back from work to focus on her pregnancy."

Bündchen seemingly declined to walk the runway for a recently-held Victoria's Secret fashion show that saw former Angels like Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, and Tyra Banks return to the runway.

The 44-year-old fashionista, who was a former Victoria's Secret angel herself and graced the fashion show between 1996 and 2006 before it took a long hiatus, was invited to return but declined due to her pregnant state, per the Daily Mail.

Reports say she's already a few months along and her expected delivery date has been speculated to be February next year. She's reportedly not in a rush to discover the baby's gender until she conceives.

Although Bündchen's ex-husband, Tom Brady, has yet to officially break his silence on news that she's pregnant for Valente, sources have disclosed that he was left feeling sour when she first broke the news to him.

A source close to the former NFL star told the Daily Mail that he found her pregnancy news "a hard pill to swallow," adding that he was "stung" and "upset" that she'd taken in and would be needing more time to process it.

"Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung," the insider shared. "Tom had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time.

"There's not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset," they continued. "It was a hard pill to swallow. It was never something he ever thought was going to happen."

"But she is still the mother of two of his children, so he wants her to be OK. He has to move on and with her pregnant, she has definitely moved on, so he can't be upset about it anymore," the source added. "It is out of his control, out of his hands. He is not letting it get to him anymore."

However, Brady is reportedly willing to accept that his children with Bundchen now have a new half-sibling.

Sources also note that he will accept Bündchen's child with Valente just the same way she did his eldest son Jack, whom he shares with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

"Back in the day when they started to fall in love, she accepted and loved his son that he already had, so he is going to give the same respect to her future child," a source noted. "At the end of the day, everyone is still family."

Meanwhile, nothing is expected to change on the marital front between Bündchen and her Jiu-Jitsu trainer boyfriend.

The lovebirds have been dating since June 2023, shortly after her divorce from Brady; however, insiders have revealed that she'll not tie the knot with him "anytime soon" even though she's "thrilled" to have taken in for him.

"There is a huge difference between them net-worth wise," a source said, as per Page Six. "There is no point in tempting fate as far as Gisele is concerned."

Bündchen is worth millions of dollars after enjoying a lengthy career as one of the world's most successful models, working with top brands like H&M, Chanel, Victoria's Secret, and Balenciaga.

Although the supermodel and jiu-jitsu trainer have grown close to each other since they started dating, especially as her children are said to adore him, her friends only think they'll "live together for now" and not walk down the aisle.
