Supermodel Gisele Bündchen offered her followers a rare look at her family life, sharing an Instagram post that featured her husband, Joaquim Valente, and their 17-month-old son. The image, taken on the deck of a yacht, shows Bündchen in workout attire while her son imitates her movements. To maintain her child's privacy, his face was obscured with a white heart emoji.
In the accompanying caption, Bündchen reflected on the role of a mother and the impact of parental example. "It's so sweet to see how little they are when they start watching and emulating what we do. They're learning from us even when we don't realize it," she wrote. She emphasized the significance of actions over words in shaping children's development, calling motherhood a "gift and a beautiful responsibility."
Bündchen and Valente, 38, welcomed their son in early 2025, though the child's name has not yet been publicly disclosed. The couple secretly married in December 2025, after dating for two and a half years. Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor, first met Bündchen and her children when they began training at his academy in December 2021.
The model, who celebrated her 46th birthday recently, also shared a Father's Day tribute to Valente in June, praising him as an "incredible role model" for their children. Bündchen is also mother to Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. She and Brady divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Brady also has an 18-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
