Gisele Bündchen’s Miami Beach Outing: Precious Moments with Newborn and Boyfriend Joaquim Valente
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen, 44, radiated maternal bliss during a serene beach walk in Miami, Florida with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente and their newborn son. The rare public appearance captured tender moments between the new mother and her baby boy, showcasing their growing family bond.
During their coastal stroll, the Brazilian beauty was photographed tenderly kissing her infant son’s forehead, who was nestled securely against her chest in a beige baby carrier. The intimate gesture highlighted Bündchen’s natural maternal instincts and evident joy in her expanded motherhood journey.
Valente, 37, a jiu-jitsu instructor and Bündchen’s partner, maintained a protective presence beside them while walking her beloved German Shepherd, Alfie. The outing came shortly after the couple celebrated their first Mother’s Day together as parents to their baby boy, who reportedly arrived in February.
Expanding Family Connections
The newborn joins Bündchen’s existing family, which includes son Benjamin, 15, daughter Vivian, 12, and stepson Jack, 17, whom she co-parents with ex-husband and football legend Tom Brady. Sources close to the family have revealed that the baby’s name may have significant family connections, potentially honoring Bündchen’s late mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed away in January 2024 after battling cancer.
According to insider reports shared with Daily Mail, the baby boy’s first name is “close to her heart” with a family tie. Speculation suggests he might be called Van (a shortened version of Vânia), Valdir (after her father), or Pat (a male variation of her twin sister Patricia’s name). Sources have confirmed his middle name is River.
A Glimpse into Private Family Life
Bündchen recently shared her first social media glimpse of her youngest child on Instagram. The heartwarming Mother’s Day post featured her son wearing an adorable “I heart Mom” onesie, though his face remained discreetly nestled against his mother’s shoulder. The post also included a rare family photo showing Bündchen, her children, and Valente embracing, with the newborn’s face thoughtfully concealed with a heart emoji.
In her emotional Mother’s Day caption, Bündchen reflected on her recent life approach: “I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life… Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived. Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.”
The supermodel also expressed her grief for her recently deceased mother: “Today, on Mother’s Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day.”
New Beginnings
News of Bündchen’s pregnancy first surfaced in October, reportedly coming as a surprise to her ex-husband Brady. Sources indicate that Bündchen personally informed Brady about her pregnancy shortly after telling their children, wanting him to hear the news directly from her rather than through media reports.
“Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him,” an insider revealed to DailyMail.com.
The source added, “She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding.” Both Benjamin and Vivian were reportedly “absolutely thrilled” about welcoming their new sibling.
As Bündchen embraces this new chapter in her life, her recent public appearance with Valente and their son suggests a harmonious balance between her public persona and her increasingly private family life, centered around the joy of their expanding family circle.
