Gisele Bündchen Shares First Photos Newborn Son With Joaquim Valente

Gisele Bündchen began her relationship with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente after enrolling her son Benjamin in Valente's martial arts academy, initially forming a friendship that turned romantic following her divorce from Tom Brady in October 2022. The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named River, in February 2025, whom Bündchen shared publicly for the first time on Mother's Day through social media posts featuring the infant's back and messages honoring motherhood. Bündchen expressed deep gratitude for motherhood while paying tribute to her late mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed away earlier in 2024. Despite rumors and public scrutiny following her divorce from the NFL star, Bündchen has embraced this new chapter of life with Valente, focusing on personal growth and family. She described motherhood as a humbling and fulfilling journey and emphasized the importance of living in the moment rather than sharing every detail publicly. The posts also highlighted the blending of their family, showing Valente alongside Bündchen and her two older children from her marriage to Brady.
