According to TMZ, Bündchen and Valente have finally welcomed their first child together. The supermodel is already a mom to two children, Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12, whom she shared with her ex, Brady.

Despite the birth news, nothing else is known about the couple's newborn baby.

When the news of her pregnancy was initially revealed, a source said the supermodel and jiu-jitsu instructor were excited and looking forward to the new chapter in their lives.

"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 told People Magazine at the time.

Although Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend are embracing this exciting new phase, a source previously shared that they aren't planning to marry "anytime soon" and will simply "live together for now."

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

Bündchen first met Valente in December 2021. The two began making headlines after they were spotted together on multiple occasions in late 2022, though she initially denied any romantic involvement.

By February, sources told the news outlet the couple started dating in June 2023 and shared that they were "deeply in love."

In October 2024, it was alleged Brady was "upset" after learning that his ex-wife was expecting a baby with her jiu-jitsu instructor.

At the time, a source told the Daily Mail that Brady was "stung" and "upset" by the news, found it to be "a hard pill to swallow," and needed more time to process it.

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

The source further noted that while the retired athlete tried to keep his emotions to himself, those close to him could see that he was evidently unhappy with the news.

"There's not a lot of people who see the Tom behind closed doors, but those that do could see he was upset," the insider 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," they added. "It is out of his control, out of his hands. He is not letting it get to him anymore."

According to Page Six, Bündchen and Brady had considered expanding their family beyond two kids.

The former couple welcomed a son, Benjamin, in December 2009 and a daughter, Vivian, in December 22021. Meanwhile, Brady already had a son, John, with his ex-partner, Bridget Moynahan.

Despite their readiness to add one more, it was not something they really tried to focus on while they were still together.

"Gisele and Tom were open to having another child during their marriage," a close source told the outlet about the couple. "But it wasn't something they were actively trying to do."

Brady and Bündchen eventually separated in October 2022, ending their 13-year marriage after months of speculation that they were having marital issues.

Since their separation, Bündchenhas publicly supported Brady's son with Moynahan, usually wishing him a happy birthday on social media.
