Gisele Bündchen opened up about welcoming a baby boy with husband Joaquim Valente when she was 44.
“Having a baby at this moment of my life is such a gift, because I’m in a different place,” Bündchen, 46, said in an interview with iD for their “Mother Issue” published on Thursday, September 10. “I don’t have anything to prove. I don’t feel like I really, quite frankly, care.”
Bündchen and Valente, 38, welcomed a son, whose name has not been publicly revealed, in December 2025. The model is also mother to son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, whom she welcomed with ex-husband Tom Brady.
Earlier this year, she wore a necklace with “J, B, V and A” charms, leading many fans to speculate her bundle of joy has a moniker starting with the letter A.
Gisele Bündchen had some help from her 1-year-old son during her latest workout session. On Saturday, August 8, the supermodel, 46, shared an adorable photo of her and husband Joaquim Valente’s baby boy — whose name they have not publicly shared — mimicking her workout routine. In the photo, Bündchen balances her hands on two […]
“I’m not defined by other people’s opinions,” she continued about her motherhood journey. “I feel like I get to choose how I want to live my life.”
Bündchen gushed about how her youngest child is “so funny” and recalled a silly moment when the mother-son duo enjoyed an outing at a nearby park.
“I mean, he’s 16 months and he saw that I was cleaning the park — because Miami, it’s so damp all the time! — and he wanted to participate and he felt really good about it,” she recalled.
While Bündchen knows a thing or two about being a mom, she still treats every moment with her little ones as a learning experience.
“Kids give us this opportunity to live again, to be more present and to experience life again. To do it maybe differently than we’ve done it before.” she reflected. “I don’t know. I find every little thing so amazing.”
Bündchen admitted that she has turned down multiple opportunities because her family is her No. 1 priority.
Three months after giving birth, Gisele Bündchen is opening up about life with her and boyfriend Joaquim Valente’s baby boy. “Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my routine,” Bündchen, 44, shared in a profile for Vogue France published on Monday, May 26. “As any new mom […]
“I say no to 99 percent of the jobs I’m offered because, when I put it on the scale, I’m like, ‘Am I going to miss my daughter’s volleyball game? Am I going to miss going to the park with my son? Am I going to miss my son DJing?’” the Victoria’s Secret angel shared.
At the end of the day, Bündchen knows that being with her family is what makes her feel fulfilled.
“This is your temple, this is your life, this is your journey. How do you want it to look? What do you want it to be? Who defines success? What is success?” she reflected. “Some people say success is power, money, fame, more. Some people say success is being able to spend time with your kids, to have food on your table, to have a home to live in, to have great relationships and actually enjoy every day. I find that, quite frankly, much more successful than … It’s up to each person to define, because when I was in my 20s, success was different than what I feel today.”
