Gisele Bündchen recently shared a rare and endearing photograph of her husband, Joaquim Valente, and their young son engaged in a jiu-jitsu lesson. The image, posted on her Instagram Story, coincided with Brazil's Father's Day celebrations.
In the candid snapshot, Valente and his 18-month-old son, whose name has not yet been publicly disclosed, are seen lying on mats in matching jiu-jitsu uniforms. The toddler is perched atop his father's chest as they share a smiling moment. Bündchen captioned the image with holiday greetings in Portuguese, writing, "Feliz dia dos pais! Te amamos!"
This glimpse into family life follows another recent post where Bündchen shared a photo of her baby joining her for a workout on a yacht. She welcomed her third child, her first with Valente, in early 2025. The couple privately married in December 2025, after nearly two years of dating.
Bündchen is also mother to Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. Her wedding to Valente occurred three years after her publicized split from the former quarterback.
Reflecting on motherhood in a recent Instagram post, Bündchen shared her thoughts on parental influence. "It's so sweet to see how little they are when they start watching and emulating what we do," she wrote. "They're learning from us even when we don't realize it. Moments like this remind me that my actions matter more than what I say, because so much of who they're becoming is shaped by the example they see every day. What a gift and a beautiful responsibility it is to be a mom."
Bündchen and Valente's connection began in December 2021 when they, along with Bündchen's children, started training at Valente's jiu-jitsu academy. Their relationship was later confirmed in 2024. Bündchen described their bond in an interview with The New York Times, stating, "This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent."
