- NFL. Tom Brady will swallow his pride and take part, along with his children, in Gisele Bündchen's next big move
- NFL. Tom Brady revisits a serious mistake that shocked Gisele Bündchen and her children: "I felt like a stake through the heart"
Gisele Bundchen is embracing motherhood once again - and the next chapter of her personal life is already unfolding in public view.
Just three months after giving birth, the 43-year-old supermodel was photographed walking along a Florida beach with her infant son, marking the child's first appearance in public.
Dressed casually in a white t-shirt, pale gray leggings, white HOKA sneakers, and a baseball cap, Gisele looked relaxed and effortlessly elegant during her stroll. Her dog, a German shepherd named Alfie, trotted nearby as she carried her baby in a chest carrier.
Despite the low-key outing, the moment quickly made headlines, not only because it was the first glimpse of her new child, but also because of the growing curiosity around her relationship with Joaquim Valente, her jiu-jitsu trainer and now confirmed partner.
Though Bundchen has yet to officially confirm her baby's name, sources close to her say she's leaning toward "Van", a name believed to honor her late mother, Vania Nonnenmacher, who ed away in January at the age of 75.
Other names reportedly under consideration include Valdir, in homage to her father, and Pat, a nod to her twin sister Patricia. One thing has been confirmed - the child's middle name is River.
A beach wedding with Brazilian flair could be next
In addition to navigating life as a new mom, Gisele is said to be planning a wedding with Valente.
After maintaining a relatively private romance following her 2022 divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady, sources now say the couple are preparing for a festive celebration that reflects their shared Brazilian heritage.
"It will definitely be a great party on the beach, with an open bar and dancing until dawn," an insider told Life & Style. "Friends say Gisele and Joaquim want traditional Brazilian touches, like pinning money to her wedding dress and late-night pastries."
Unlike her previous wedding to Brady, which was small and relatively understated, Bundchen reportedly wants this ceremony to be bigger and more reflective of her roots.
According to those close to her, the beachside celebration will be more personal and symbolic of her new beginning.
"Gisele's a happy bride-to-be, savoring this time with Joaquim," the insider shared. "He's telling her to plan whatever her heart desires; pals say Joaquim's content if she is."
Some friends were surprised to hear that Gisele was willing to walk down the aisle again. After her high-profile split from Brady, many believed she wouldn't remarry. But her bond with Valente seems to have shifted that perspective.
"Joaquim changed everything," the source added, emphasizing how their shared culture and values have made the relationship feel natural and grounded.
As for Gisele's children with Brady - Benjamin and Vivian - the model is said to be including them as much as possible in the wedding planning. The insider said the children will have a role in the festivities, signaling a continued effort to keep the family close despite the changes.
What remains uncertain, however, is whether Tom Brady will be invited to the ceremony. While no decision has been made, the idea of Gisele remarrying is reportedly difficult for him to process.
"This wedding and marriage will no doubt be difficult for him," the insider noted. "But he was preoccupied with football for a lot of the time he and Gisele were together. She sacrificed so much for him and his NFL career."
As Bundchen enjoys her time with her newborn and prepares for a joyful new beginning with Valente, it's clear she's stepping into this phase of her life with intention, confidence, and the same grace that made her a global icon.
