Is mom-to-be Gisele Bündchen planning a home birth for her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente? Source reveals

Gisele Bündchen is excited to welcome her third child and first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, according to a People source. An insider told the publication that the 44-year-old supermodel is feeling good about her pregnancy and has a few months left. Bündchen, according to the informant, has not yet revealed the sex of the child because she plans not to find out herself until she holds the child in her arms. She is also reportedly planning to welcome the baby at home.

“Gisele is very happy in Miami,” a source told People. “She enjoys life there. Everyone is thriving.”

Bündchen considers herself “very lucky” to cross paths with Valente, 37, a jiu-jitsu instructor, the source added. According to an insider, the couple started out as friends but have been dating seriously for over a year.

“Gisele and Joaquim are excited about this new chapter in their lives and look forward to creating a peaceful and loving atmosphere for the whole family,” a source previously told People about the couple.

Bündchen and her ex-husband, former NFL player Tom Brady, have two children: son Benjamin Reign, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11. Brady, 47, and Bündchen announced their divorce was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The former couple shares custody of their children.

Bündchen and Valente first met in November 2022 when the couple took a trip to Costa Rica with their children. After initially denying romance rumors, a source told People in February of this year that they had been secretly dating since last June on Bündchen’s terms as she wanted to keep things private while she and Joaquim got to know each other.

News of Bündchen’s pregnancy comes after she was noticeably absent from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 15, despite being an Angel for the luxury lingerie brand from 1999 to 2006.

As for her plans to give birth at home, this is nothing new for Bündchen, since she also gave birth to her first two children at home.

Her $11.5 million Florida mansion, located on exclusive Island Creek, recently underwent renovations, according to the Daily Mail. According to the British publication, the home is a two-story house with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a spacious swimming pool and hot tub in the backyard.
