Tom Brady’s ex-wife and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente are expecting their first child together. Bündchen was seen in an oversized denim button-down layered over a black tank top, matched with tights, sandals, and a hat.
Though reports suggest she is several months into her pregnancy, the 44-year-old has mostly kept her growing belly under wraps. Her recent social media post shows only her upper torso. However, with her recent outing, fans now have a glimpse of her baby bump.
Comments about the bump reveal ranged from supportive to critical. One viewer remarked, “She’s too old to be having a baby. She should be embarrassed.” Another user speculated, “😂😂😂😂 she is not happy about that baby 😂😂😂😂.”
Someone else pointed out, “Gisele looks old and tired 😮 Tom should enjoy and find a good one this time.” One noted her growing baby bump is “Big already.”
Some fans speculated about her emotional state, with one writing, “She cries because the paparazzi is in her face all the time, but yet she goes and tells the world about being knocked up by her karate instructor whatever. But I don’t want to be noticed I just wanna be like a normal celebrity publicity.”

Concerns for her well-being were expressed as well, “Her face prays sad and upset that she is constantly being chased by the paparazzi [sic]. They didn’t learn even after what they did with Lady Di and Britney Spears.”
However, not all comments were negative. A kinder voice chimed in, “The lady is pregnant please be kind or don’t comment that baby don’t need stress it is an innocent life [sic].”
On a more positive note, one fan praised her appearance, “She’s [sic] looks so flawless,” while another celebrated her enduring impact, “She is so beautiful, an eternal icon at fashion shows 😍 she inspires so many people… We love you @gisele and we wish you the best! ❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷”
Wrapping up the sentiment, a fan declared, “Gorgeous as ever. Healthy. Strong. Fit!! Exciting times ahead for this icon!!”
Gisele Bündchen is already a mom of two as she shares her son, Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with Tom Brady. She had also previously referred to herself as a bonus mom to Brady’s son, Jack, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan.
The supermodel first became a mom in December 2009, nearly one year after she tied the knot with Brady. The pair’s baby number two arrived in December 2012. Now, Bündchen, who once spoke of her desire to have a big family, is expecting her third child.
Bündchen and Valente went public with their relationship a year after the supermodel and Brady divorced. The exes parted ways in 2022 and so far, Brady has been romantically linked to models Irina Shayk and Brooks Nader.

Bündchen is reportedly five to six months along and plans to wait until the birth to find out the baby’s gender, a choice she also made with her two children from her previous marriage to Brady.
Bündchen’s pregnancy has gained mixed reactions online, with one user expressing disbelief, “Wait. How old is she?! Is this real? lol.”

Meanwhile, health-focused fans were certain she was fit to have another child. One supporter observed, “She can handle it she’s in great shape.”

Bündchen’s relationship with Valente has become more visible over the years, with several family outings drawing attention.
In June 2024, they were seen paddleboarding in Florida on Father’s Day with her children, Benjamin and Vivian.
The kids’ father, Brady, was not present, as he was in St. Louis, Missouri, for his TV analyst debut at the United Football League (UFL) championship game.
In April 2023, Vanity Fair noted several outings between Bündchen and Valente, including the two jogging together, sharing a set of AirPods, riding horses, and having dinner with her family.
Bündchen has also become deeply involved in jiu-jitsu at Valente’s academy, where she and her children have found a strong sense of community.
In a nod to her chosen martial art, Bündchen even posted an Instagram Reel showcasing her skills, sparring in a white gi with one of the Valente brothers.
Reflecting on her bond with Valente and his siblings, Pedro and Gui, Bündchen shared, “They’re awesome people. They have created this safe space.”
She noted that they have been a great support for her, and her kids and have become close friends.
Bündchen described Pedro as “the philosopher,” Gui as the “calm” one, and Valente as someone she admires and trusts.
“It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy,” the top model remarked.
In November 2022, Page Six reported that Bündchen and Valente stepped out for dinner at Koji in Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, joined by her children and Valente’s co-trainer, Jordan.
At the time, a source described the duo’s relationship as “strictly platonic and professional,” but their public appearances together continued to spark dating rumors.
In a Vanity Fair interview, Bündchen dismissed the speculation, “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.”
After 13 years of marriage, Bündchen and Brady finalized their divorce in Glades County, Florida.
Court documents filed that day officially declared their marriage “irretrievably broken” and dissolved.

Just three days prior, the former couple had reached a marital settlement agreement, which included a parenting plan for their two children.
In line with Florida law, details of the settlement and custody arrangement remain confidential to protect the family’s privacy, and neither party filed their financial disclosures with the court.
The former pair reportedly lived apart, with Bündchen based in Florida and Brady in Tampa, and despite living separately, they agreed to share joint custody of their children.

They expressed gratitude for their years together and affirmed that their kids are their priority.
