Gisele Bundchen's growing family
Gisele Bundchen, originally from Horizontina, Brazil, is already a mother to daughter Vivian Lake, 11, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.
Brady, 47, also has a 17-year-old son, Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
The 44-year-old Brazilian supermodel and Brady were married in 2009 but divorced in 2022 after 13 years together.
Inside Gisele Bundchen's new chapter in life
Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu trainer, were first linked in June 2023, nearly a year after her high-profile divorce from Tom Brady.
News of Bundchen’s pregnancy surfaced in October, reportedly catching Brady off guard.
In November, the former NFL star shared a cryptic quote on social media about "failing" and "coming short," just weeks after the pregnancy revelation.
He later acknowledged during the 2024 Fortune Global Forum that he had “screwed up a lot as a parent.”

Tom Brady’s reaction and struggles with dating
A source told Daily Mail that Tom Brady has been struggling to navigate the dating scene while moving on from the “sting” of Gisele Bundchen’s new relationship.
“Tom would love to date more, but he is busy and focused on his first year as a commentator. Right now, being single is just easier,” the source said.
Brady signed a lucrative 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports in September.
Although Bundchen’s pregnancy initially “stung,” insiders say Brady has since focused on his career and accepted that his ex-wife is moving forward with her life.
Breaking the news to Tom Brady
According to sources, Gisele Bundchen informed Tom Brady about her pregnancy shortly after telling their children, wanting him to hear the news directly from her rather than through the media.
“This wasn’t planned, but Joaquim has always wanted a family. Gisele is happy to give this to him,” an insider revealed.
“She knew he would be a great father, especially after seeing how patient and caring he was with her kids during jiu-jitsu classes," source added.
Benjamin and Vivian are said to be "absolutely thrilled" about their new sibling.
