After parting ways with Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen embarked on a new chapter with a man who isn’t in the public eye. Despite whispers that she had been unfaithful to Tom with her current partner, the couple has moved forward positively and recently celebrated the arrival of their first child together.

Gisele Bündchen has welcomed her third child, her first with her boyfriend—a relationship she initially kept low-key amid public curiosity. This happy news comes over two years after her widely-discussed divorce from football legend Tom Brady.

As TMZ reported, the Brazilian supermodel is overjoyed, and both she and her newborn are in good health. The baby’s birth date and gender remain undisclosed. It was previously mentioned that the couple decided not to find out the baby’s gender ahead of time.

Gisele and Tom crossed paths for the first time in 2006 and tied the knot three years later in 2009, raising two children together: Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12.

Tom also has an older son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan, whom Gisele affectionately calls her "bonus child." Although Gisele had already reached career heights by the age of 26, she felt ready to focus on building a family.

However, tensions grew in her marriage to Tom as his career demands increasingly overshadowed family life. In 2020, Tom acknowledged that Gisele believed he wasn’t fulfilling his "role for the family," feeling pushed aside while he prioritized football.

When Tom initially retired in 2022 but then opted to return to the NFL, it reportedly left Gisele feeling "frustrated" and "hurt." Sources indicated that she longed for more quality time with the family.

By October 2022, after 13 years of marriage, they officially filed for divorce. The ex-couple resolved custody and property matters, formally concluding their marriage.

More than a year later, in June 2023, Gisele began dating fitness trainer Joaquim Valente. A source confirmed their relationship in February 2024.

"[...] They’re taking things slow. Their friendship came first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it under wraps while they got to know each other," the insider added. Though rumors hinted at a longer timeline, insiders clarified that they met in December 2021. Gisele first addressed the speculation about Joaquim in March 2023, expressing her appreciation for him and his brothers, Pedro and Gui, who run a self-defense training program.

"I’m so grateful to have them in my life because they’ve supported me and my kids, and they’ve become wonderful friends. Joaquim, especially," shared the mother of two. "He’s our instructor, and above all, he’s someone I deeply admire and trust. It’s wonderful to have that kind of energy around, especially for my kids," Gisele continued.

The pair were first spotted together in Costa Rica in November 2022, though Gisele initially dismissed any romantic involvement. Their friendship eventually evolved into a relationship, with Joaquim providing "great comfort" during her divorce, according to a source. Nonetheless, their romance sparked rumors that Gisele had been unfaithful during her marriage to Tom. She denied these claims, calling them "a lie" and highlighting the double standards women often face when leaving "unhealthy" relationships.

Nearly 18 months after her divorce, she revealed she was seeing someone, stating, "This is the first time I’ve dated someone who started as a friend. It’s different. It’s incredibly honest and transparent."

Joaquim, like Gisele, hails from Brazil and holds a degree in criminology, sharing many commonalities with her. An insider described him as "grounded, kind, and motivating," adding that dating Joaquim has felt effortless for Gisele, who was initially reluctant to dive into a new relationship.

The couple shares a love for Miami, traveling, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The source noted, "Joaquim is perfect for her." Gisele is said to be thriving and thoroughly enjoying this fresh phase of her life.

In June 2024, the couple was photographed together in Surfside, Florida, sparking curiosity amid rumors of a breakup. The two appeared relaxed in casual attire, walking their dogs with Gisele’s arm around Joaquim. A fashion insider revealed that the Brazilian beauty has been flourishing since her split from Tom, feeling "confident and content." Reports suggested tension arose after a Netflix roast of Tom, which left Gisele "deeply disappointed" due to its portrayal of her family. It reportedly added strain to her relationship with Joaquim. However, just a few months later, in October 2024, exciting news broke, revealing that Gisele and Joaquim were expecting their first child together. A source shared, "Gisele and Joaquim are thrilled about this new chapter in their lives and are excited to create a peaceful and loving environment for their family." On the same day, Gisele, 44, was seen in Miami with her German Shepherd, Alfie, dressed casually in a black cap, T-shirt, shorts, and white sneakers.

Wanting to ensure her loved ones heard the news firsthand, Gisele reportedly informed Tom and their two children about the pregnancy before it became public knowledge. Sources revealed that the star, mindful of the potential impact, preferred Tom to hear the news directly from her, maintaining transparency within the family during this significant life transition. In November, Gisele and Joaquim enjoyed a lunch outing in Miami with her children. The public figure wore a flowy beige top and cap, subtly concealing her bump with a large tan handbag, while Joaquim kept it casual in a black T-shirt and shorts.
