Gisele Bündchen Welcomes Baby #3—But Who’s the Mysterious Father?

After her divorce from Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen started a new chapter with a man who is not famous. Some rumors suggested she had cheated on Tom with her new partner, but the couple has stayed strong and recently welcomed their first child together.

Gisele has given birth to her third child, the first with her boyfriend. At first, she played down their relationship because of public speculation. This happy news comes more than two years after she and Tom ended their marriage.

According to reports, Gisele is very happy, and both she and the baby are doing well. However, the baby’s birth date and gender have not been shared. It was previously said that the couple chose not to know the baby’s gender before birth.

Gisele and Tom met in 2006 and got married in 2009. They built a family with their two kids, Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 12.

Tom also has an older son, Jack, from his past relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Gisele has always called him her “bonus child.” By the age of 26, Gisele was already a successful model but was ready to focus on family life.

However, as Tom’s football career took priority, tension grew in their marriage. In 2020, Tom admitted that Gisele felt he wasn’t contributing enough to their family, as he was focused on his career.

Tom retired in 2022 but later decided to return to the NFL. This reportedly left Gisele feeling “frustrated” and “hurt” because she wanted more time together as a family.

By October 2022, after 13 years of marriage, they filed for divorce. They quickly settled child custody and property matters, officially ending their relationship.

Over a year later, in June 2023, Gisele started dating fitness trainer Joaquim Valente. Their relationship was confirmed in February 2024.

A source said, “They are taking it slow. They were good friends first. Gisele is private and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.”

Though rumors suggested they had been dating earlier, sources clarified that they met in December 2021.

In March 2023, Gisele spoke about Joaquim and his brothers, Pedro and Gui, who run a self-defense training program.

“I’m so grateful to know all of them. They have helped me and my kids, and they have become great friends. Joaquim especially,” she shared.

“He’s our teacher and, most importantly, someone I admire and trust. It’s great to have that energy around my kids,” she added.

Gisele and Joaquim were first seen together in Costa Rica in November 2022, but she denied being in a relationship at the time. Eventually, their friendship turned into something more.

A source said Joaquim was a “huge comfort” for Gisele during her divorce. However, some people believed she had started dating him before leaving Tom, sparking cheating rumors.

Gisele denied those claims, calling them “a lie” and pointing out how unfair it is that women face more criticism for leaving “unhealthy” relationships.

About 18 months after her divorce, she confirmed she was in a relationship. “This is the first time I’m seeing someone who was my friend first. It’s different, honest, and transparent,” she said.

Like Gisele, Joaquim is from Brazil and has a criminology degree. A source described him as “down to earth, kind, and inspiring.”

Gisele was hesitant to start dating again but felt comfortable with Joaquim. They share a love for Miami, travel, and healthy living.

A source said, “Joaquim is perfect for her.” Gisele is in a great place and is enjoying this new phase of life.

In June 2024, Gisele and Joaquim were spotted together in Florida, dismissing rumors of a breakup. The couple looked happy as they walked their dogs, with Gisele affectionately putting her arm around Joaquim.

A fashion industry insider said Gisele has been thriving since her divorce and feels “secure and happy.”

There were reports that tension arose after Tom’s Netflix roast, which Gisele found “deeply disappointing” because of how it portrayed her family. It allegedly added stress to her relationship with Joaquim.

However, just months later, in October 2024, it was revealed that Gisele and Joaquim were expecting their first child together.

A source said, “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter and want to create a peaceful and loving home for their family.”

That same day, Gisele was seen in Miami walking her German Shepherd, Alfie. She wore a casual outfit—black cap, t-shirt, shorts, and white sneakers.

Before the news went public, Gisele reportedly told Tom and their children herself. She wanted them to hear it directly from her rather than through the media.

Sources said she was thoughtful about how this change might affect her family and wanted to maintain open communication.

In November 2024, Gisele and Joaquim were seen having lunch in Miami with her kids. Gisele wore a flowing beige top and a cap, subtly covering her baby bump with a large handbag, while Joaquim kept it simple in a black t-shirt and shorts.

Gisele’s journey into this new chapter shows her dedication to family and personal happiness. She is embracing life’s changes with grace and optimism. Congratulations to the new parents!
