Gisele Bundchen has welcomed a baby boy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, marking her third child and first with Valente.
According to reports, Bundchen and Valente‘s son has a middle name inspired by nature-River, continuing a sentimental tradition that ties into her other children’s names.
Bundchen is already mom to Vivian Lake (12) and Benjamin Rein (15), whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.
While Bundchen had kept her pregnancy under wraps for months, speculation grew as photos of her with a visible baby bump emerged in late 2023.
On Wednesday, February 5, news broke that Bundchen had given birth, though details about the baby’s first name and exact birth date remain undisclosed.
According to an insider speaking to PEOPLE, Bundchen was excited about this new chapter in her life.
“She received many positive messages and congratulations,” the source told People. “She wanted to keep it private for as long as she could, but doing so was starting to be a challenge.”
A love story that led to baby River
Bundchen and Valente, a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, have been dating since June 2023. Their romance blossomed following her divorce from Tom Brady in 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
The couple made headlines in November 2023, when Bundchen was photographed in Costa Rica holding hands with Valente, showing off her baby bump in a crochet cover-up and dark bikini.
The supermodel has spoken in the past about embracing new beginnings, and with the arrival of her third child, she appears happier than ever.
Bundchen has long balanced her modeling career, wellness advocacy, and motherhood, and now, she’s stepping into a new era as a mom of three.
With her growing family and new love, the supermodel seems to be fully embracing this joyful new chapter, even as she keeps many of the intimate details private.
