Gisele Bundchen wants Shakira to be godmother to her baby

A source shared that Gisele Bundchen has expressed her wish for Shakira to be godmother to her baby.

"Shakira and Gisele really bonded these past couple of years. They've helped each other through their breakups and the friendship has been something of a saving grace for them both," the insider noted.

The source highlighted Bundchen not wanting many close friends in her inner circle, saying, "Gisele doesn't have a ton of close girlfriends, and it's rare for her to let anyone new in."

"But Shakira is in her inner circle now, and she’s talking about wanting to give her the honor of being one of her baby's godmothers. It says a lot about how much she values Shakira that she wants to make her a part of this," the source added.
