After her latest project in October, the model has decided to step back from work until the birth of her third child, but she has stated that she doesn’t plan to leave the runway.
Just a few weeks ago, Gisele Bündchen announced that she was expecting her first child with her current partner, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. Her absence from the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was quite noticeable, especially given that her fellow models, like Tyra Banks and Kate Moss, did participate.
Days later, People magazine published the happy news about the businesswoman, who is already a mother of two children, Benjamin and Vivian, from her previous relationship with ex-husband Tom Brady. It wasn’t very clear if Bündchen would return to work after giving birth, but sources close to the businesswoman have confirmed that Gisele will definitely return to the runway at some point.
Gisele is already several months pregnant, and sources close to the Brazilian model have revealed that she plans to give birth in the comfort of her own home. They also mentioned how happy Gisele is in Miami and in her current relationship with Valente. The couple has been together for over a year, so this pregnancy came as a surprise to much of the model’s inner circle.
However, they say that Gisele is very well and happy with this new stage of her life, and that the two are taking things slowly. The couple met in 2021 when Gisele began training with him, and they became good friends, eventually starting to date in June 2023. Additionally, sources explained that Gisele is a very private person, so she didn’t share many details when they first met and kept the beginning of the relationship a secret.
