Gisele Bündchen shared the first photo of her new baby in a post commemorating Mother’s Day. She was also celebrated by her ex-husband, who gave her and other women a shoutout on the special day.

On Mother’s Day, May 11, 2025, iconic supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, shared the first glimpse of her new baby via an endearing Instagram carousel featuring her other kids and her late mom. Her post has netizens swooning, with many congratulating her on her bundle of joy.

In her carousel, Bündchen offered an intimate window into her Mother’s Day celebration, weaving visual poetry through a series of deeply personal snapshots.

Included in the post is a charming image of a strawberry-topped dessert crowned by a white icing medallion that reads, “Happy Mother’s Day,” capturing a simple yet heartfelt gesture to honor the occasion. The vibrant red of the berries paired with the hand-penned message radiated warmth.

One of the most touching images shows Bündchen arm-in-arm with her late mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher. The candid beachside moment captures the model leaning against her mom with closed eyes and a serene expression, their faces gently pressed together.

The photograph — a tender tribute to the woman she still misses dearly — was bathed in golden-hour light, imbuing it with an ethereal sense of peace and remembrance.

Also included in the Instagram carousel was a lush bouquet of ivory-white tulips in full bloom. Whether gifted to her or arranged for the post, the flowers appeared to serve as a subtle nod to maternal elegance and the beauty found in quiet gestures.

Embedded within Bündchen’s carousel is a striking image of her and her loved ones in a powerful group hug — a photo that seems to cocoon the essence of motherhood. With her long blonde tresses flowing naturally, she embraces all three of her children tightly, their heads pressed together in an affectionate huddle.

Her two eldest kids, shared with her NFL ex-husband, Tom Brady, flank the circle, while her infant, whose face is thoughtfully obscured by a red heart emoji, is nestled safely in her arms.

Muscular, hairy arms, presumed to belong to her boyfriend and father of her third child, Joaquim Valente, complete the embrace.

The carousel’s cover image showcases a long-awaited reveal — a glowing Bündchen cradling her newborn. Dressed casually in a white tank, her expression radiates maternal joy and pride. The baby, whose face remains turned away, wears a plush white onesie adorned with bold red stitching that expresses “I ❤️ MOM.”

In her caption, Bündchen eloquently reflected on the emotional depth of motherhood. “I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life..Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived,” she wrote, acknowledging the profound beauty found in presence and stillness.

Though she confessed to missing her mom, especially on Mother’s Day, her words carried a spirit of celebration. “Being a mother it’s [sic] been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day,” Bündchen shared.

She concluded her caption with a universal message of honor and love for mothers everywhere, “I see you, I honor you. Happy mother’s day! Sending so much love your way! ❤️ [sic].”

Bündchen echoed the same sentiments in Portuguese just beneath the English text — a nod to her Brazilian roots and her wide-reaching audience.

In the wake of Bündchen’s heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute, countless followers flooded the comment section with messages of admiration, gratitude, and shared emotion. Many admirers were visibly moved by the reveal of her new baby, as well as the warmth embedded in her tribute to motherhood.

One fan simply exclaimed, “So cute! […]❤️,” while another shared a more personal note of hope, writing, “You having a baby in your 40’s gives [sic] me so much hope as a single, childless 31 year old […]❤️‍🩹 congratulations xxxx.” The sentiment echoed among many women who saw Bündchen’s journey as a beacon of encouragement and inspiration.

One supporter applauded, “Amazing how low key she manage to live this pregnancy! Well done Gisele! 👏👏👏👏 happy Mother’s Day [sic].”

Others took a moment to thank her for the depth of her message, which touched on themes of loss, presence, and the profound joy of motherhood. A grateful admirer praised, “@gisele Thank you for the beautiful words. Happy Mothers [sic] Day, and congratulations on the new baby boy. God bless… 😊🙏💐🎊🎈🎉.”

Collectively, the comments painted a vivid picture of a community deeply touched, not just by the rare glimpse into Bündchen’s private life, but by the reminder that motherhood, in all its forms, is a sacred bond.

Aside from Bündchen’s Mother’s Day post, Brady also took to social media to mark the special occasion — and included a quiet but meaningful nod to her. In a thoughtful Instagram Story, the football legend shared a collage of images that celebrated some of the most important women in his life, each playing a role in shaping his journey.

The first photo shows Brady alongside his three sisters, all smiling brightly in a sun-drenched outdoor setting, dressed in vibrant spring hues.

Their close-knit family dynamic radiated through the image, offering a glimpse into the support system that helped raise one of football’s greatest quarterbacks.

A second black-and-white snapshot features Brady posing with his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, and their teenage son. The image captures a rare but telling moment of familial unity — a subtle nod to the co-parenting bond Brady and Moynahan have cultivated over the years.

Completing the trio is a heartwarming photo of Bündchen smiling alongside their equally happy children. Overlaying the collage is a heartfelt message honoring all the “incredible moms” in Brady’s life.

Brady’s subtle tribute to Bündchen served as a poignant reminder of the deep history they share — a bond built over more than a decade and gracefully transformed in recent years.

The two finalized their divorce in October 2022, officially ending their 13-year marriage with a quiet, dignified closure. Legal documents confirmed that the dissolution of their union was filed and finalized in Glades County, Florida.

The filing declared their marriage “irretrievably broken,” bringing the legal aspect of their split to a close just three days after they entered into a marital settlement agreement.

While the exact terms remain private — including financial arrangements and custody specifics — it was confirmed that the agreement included a parenting plan, reflecting their mutual dedication to the well-being of their children.

From the beginning, the couple prioritized privacy and cooperation. Sources close to the situation revealed that both Bündchen and Brady had been working behind the scenes to reach a fair and respectful settlement.

Ultimately, they agreed to share joint custody, ensuring their son and daughter would continue to receive love and support from both parents. In separate Instagram statements, posted the day their divorce was finalized, both Bündchen and Brady acknowledged the emotional difficulty of the decision.

Bündchen expressed her enduring gratitude for their time together, writing that while the choice to separate was hard, she felt “blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.” She also reaffirmed that their children would remain her greatest priority.

Tom Brady echoed her sentiments. While he described the process as “painful and difficult,” Brady also underscored that the decision was reached amicably.

With heartfelt words, he shared his appreciation for their shared past and reaffirmed that the former couple would continue to co-parent as they navigated new, separate paths.

Despite no longer being husband and wife, their coordinated and respectful approach to their divorce — both legally and emotionally — reflected a commitment to family above all else, setting the tone for the post-divorce chapter that has since followed.

Though the legal end of their marriage came quietly, Bündchen’s emotional journey was far more layered — something she openly addressed in a 2023 interview with Vanity Fair.

Speaking only two and a half months after her divorce from Brady was finalized, Bündchen dubbed the aftermath of their 13-year marriage both “a death and a rebirth.”

The imagery painted of Bündchen speaking about her divorce was vivid: Sitting cross-legged in a serene, ocean-facing sanctuary, surrounded by symbols of renewal — a yoga palapa, a chicken habitat, and a view that stretched endlessly beyond a sleek pool.

With raw candor, she confessed to mourning not just the end of a relationship, but what she called “the death of my dream.” It was the dream of a life she had imagined and worked tirelessly to build.

Her voice cracked as she reflected on how deeply she had invested in that vision, and how heartbreaking it was when things didn’t turn out the way she had hoped. Pressing her fingertips into her eyes brimming with tears, she paused — vulnerable but composed — before acknowledging how deeply she once believed in fairy tales.

And despite everything, she expressed gratitude for that belief, calling it “beautiful.” At the heart of Bündchen’s reflection was an understanding that her story — and her separation — couldn’t be reduced to simplistic explanations.

“What’s been said is one piece of a much bigger puzzle,” Bündchen noted. “It’s not so black and white.” “You give everything you got [sic] to achieve your dream,” she said, acknowledging the heartbreak that comes when dreams don’t unfold the way they were meant to, no matter how hard one tries.

Her words, steeped in quiet strength, reflected a woman who had faced a painful chapter, accepted its end, and found the courage to begin anew.

As Bündchen continued to navigate life after heartbreak, whispers of a new chapter quietly began to surface. Not long after her divorce was finalized, the supermodel was spotted in late 2022 dining out with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Valente.

The pair were seen enjoying dinner at Koji in Costa Rica’s Provincia de Puntarenas — not alone, but accompanied by Bündchen’s children as well as Valente’s co-trainer. The sighting sparked immediate speculation.

Bündchen, dressed casually in a cropped top and flowing black pants, appeared at ease, while Valente smiled warmly in a relaxed gray shirt and shorts. The cozy dinner setting — paired with their close proximity — led many to wonder whether romance was blooming between the two.

Reports from Brazilian outlet Purepeople claimed the pair were dating, but the buzz was swiftly met with pushback.

A source insisted that her relationship with Valente was purely professional, explaining that he and his brothers had been training her and the kids in martial arts for over a year and a half.

Another insider pointed out that Valente and his co-trainer often accompanied the family during trips due to the children’s homeschooling needs. Still, their connection was undeniable.

By February 2022, Bündchen had taken to Instagram to praise the Valente Brothers, crediting their training with helping her feel “stronger,” more confident, and “empowered” through the practice of self-defense. Sharing a clip of her grappling moves at the Valente Brothers’ Miami facility, she thanked them for making the experience fun and motivating.

“I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the [sic better,” she explained, expressing how important she felt self-defense was, particularly for women.

Her ex-husband even chimed in with a lighthearted statement on X, joking, “My days of leaving dishes in the sink are numbered,” in response to her training footage.

Though initial reports insisted the bond between Bündchen and Valente was strictly platonic, their visible closeness — and the deep trust built through family-centered training — hinted at the quiet beginning of something more.

By February 2025, what began as quiet companionship between Bündchen and Valente blossomed into something far more profound — parenthood. The supermodel welcomed her third child earlier this year, marking the first baby she shares with Valente.

The news, though private at first, eventually made headlines, confirming that both mother and child were doing well. Though the exact birth date wasn’t disclosed, sources close to the couple shared that Bündchen was overjoyed by the arrival of her newest family member.

The birth came just months after it was revealed in October 2024 that the model was five to six months pregnant. At the time, insiders noted that Bündchen and Valente had chosen not to learn the baby’s sex until the moment of birth.

Throughout the pregnancy, the couple maintained a low profile, staying true to Bündchen’s renewed focus on privacy and living in the moment.

In line with that approach, few details have been shared about the newborn, including their name or gender, allowing the growing family to savor these early days away from the spotlight. Importantly, Bündchen’s ex and their children were reportedly informed about the pregnancy well in advance of the public announcement.

Now, with her baby cradled in her arms and her older children embracing this next chapter alongside her, Gisele Bündchen steps forward into motherhood once again, grounded, grateful, and glowing with love.
