Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente, her jujitsu-instructor boyfriend, have just welcomed their first child together! Though the pair have kept an incredibly low profile since getting together, sources near the couple have divulged a few details about their romance, which Bündchen insists did not start until after her divorce from Tom Brady.
Here’s a full timeline of Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente’s relationship, with the most recent updates up top.
February 5, 2025: Baby Bündchen-Valente is here! On February 5, TMZ reported that the couple welcomed their first child. The baby’s name, sex, and exact birthdate haven’t yet been confirmed. Per the outlet, both Bündchen and the baby are happy and healthy.
Just a week before the news of the baby’s birth broke, the supermodel shared an inspirational message on Instagram about creating your own happiness. “Happiness is an inside job,” she wrote alongside a video montage of—what else?—herself romping around the beach in a bikini. “Remember, you are the only one who has the power to create the life you want to live.”
A new partner and a new baby, all within a couple years after one of the most talked-about divorces in Hollywood? Sure seems like Gisele Bündchen is making her own happiness!
October 28, 2024: People breaks the news that Bündchen is pregnant. The Brazilian supermodel shares two children with Brady, while this is Valente’s first. “They started out as friends, but have been seriously dating for over a year,” a source added the next day. “She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth.”
June 15, 2024: Amid split rumors, the pair are seen strolling on the beach. A source later says that Bündchen is “secure and happy.”
March 23, 2024: After tabloids spread cheating rumors, Bündchen hits back. “That is a lie,” she said during a New York Times interview about her cookbook, Nourish. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful. They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
September 24, 2023: Bündchen expresses zero regret over her divorce. “I look into my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t have any other life,” she tells CBS.
