As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives, I must say that the life of Tom Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, has taken yet another unexpected turn. The news of his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen‘s pregnancy with her partner, Joaquim Valente, is undoubtedly a significant event in their lives and a testament to the complexities of life post-divorce.

During a family vacation in Costa Rica this week, Gisele Bundchen displayed her expanding belly as she strolled with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, and their children.

44-year-old Brazilian supermodel, having just been spotted locking lips with her jiu-jitsu instructor during a tranquil getaway, casually dined at a seaside cafe bungalow and took a leisurely ride on a motor cart in the coastal town of Santa Teresa.

Besides Valente, the star was accompanied by her two offspring, Benjamin, aged 14, and 12-year-old Vivian, who are her children from her past marriage with Tom Brady.

In October a while ago, it came to light that Bundchen is expecting their third child, and this will be the first for Joaquim, as they had been romantically connected since June 2023.

Gisele showcased her baby bump while donning a short-sleeved, white blouse and a tan knit skirt with a tasseled hem, sitting low on her waist.

Her long hair was divided down the middle, cascading gracefully beyond her shoulders in gentle undulations.

Furthermore, she donned a set of earthy-brown sandals on her feet and adorned a delicate bracelet around her left arm.

Valente dressed comfortably, donning a short-sleeved green top along with a pair of black shorts during his daytime outing.

Together, they enjoyed a delightful meal at a nearby café, followed by their departure from the eatery in a horse-drawn carriage.

Gisele sported a broad grin while chatting cheerfully with Joaquim and her daughter, both seated up front. Meanwhile, Benjamin found his comfortable spot in the back, enjoying the ride towards their upcoming location.

On Thursday this past week, Vivian turned 12 years old. In honor of the occasion, Brady shared an uncommon picture featuring him with the youngster.

Over the past weekend, Bundchen, who is currently immersed in a fresh phase of her life, was seen affectionately with Joaquim, as they enjoyed each other’s company on a beautiful beach in Costa Rica during their vacation.

In the distant horizon, as the sun started to dip, they could be spotted engaging with the model’s pet dog. At one instance, they shared a tender moment when they embraced and exchanged a loving kiss by the water’s edge.

In their married life with the formerly retired NFL player, Tom Brady, the ex-pair bought a holiday house in a Central American nation at one point.

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady were married from 2009 up until their divorce in 2022. Together with Benjamin and Vivian, Brady is also the dad of his 17-year-old son Jack, who he co-parents with his former partner, Bridget Moynahan.

In 2007, Gisele and Tom purchased a home in Costa Rica. After their divorce, Gisele retained ownership of the property.

It became public knowledge in October that Bündchen was pregnant, which left her former partner, Brady, taken aback by this surprise.

In November last month, Tom posted an enigmatic quote touching on ‘failure’ and ‘falling short’ following the surprise announcement of Gisele’s pregnancy.

The quote was from former President Theodore Roosevelt and was seen on a card that the NFL star held up in a social media photo. 

At the 2024 Fortune Global Forum held in New York City, I openly acknowledged my shortcomings as a parent, stating, “I’ve made numerous mistakes along the way.

He stated, ‘All of the parents of the room know that being a parent is probably the hardest job all of us have. And we screw up a lot.’

I’ve made many mistakes as a parent. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m an expert in child-rearing, because trust me, I’m far from it.

As a dad, Brady articulated his desire to be both reliable and regular in his actions towards his kids, mentioning also that he encourages his children’s unique interests.

A source recently told DailyMail.com how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady.

Tom learned from the model that she would soon be having her first child with Valente, and she preferred he heard it directly from her before any news outlets reported it.

It came as a surprise that Gisele and Joaquim hadn’t been considering having a child jointly. However, since Joaquim has long cherished the dream of starting a family, Gisele feels content in her ability to fulfill his wish.

The source revealed that she came to realize he’d make an exceptional father as their lessons together showed his patience, playfulness, and deep understanding.

Both Benjamin and Vivian are ‘absolutely thrilled’ over the big news, the source also shared.

Since 2021, Joaquim has significantly contributed to both of their lives as he was incorporated into their daily routines through the practice of Jiu-Jitsu during their home education.

The source went on to say, ‘They deeply care for him, viewing him as a paternal role model. Currently, they’re embarking on their own family journey, with a wedding ceremony in the cards down the line.’

Another insider also shared Brady’s response to the news, and told DailyMail.com that, ‘Finding out Gisele was pregnant stung. Tom had to get out his feelings about it and he did it in his own time.’

Few individuals get a glimpse of Tom when he’s private, yet those fortunate enough to see him in these moments notice his distress. It was an unpleasant surprise – something he had never anticipated would occur.

‘But she is still the mother of two of his children, so he wants her to be okay,’ the source added.

Given the situation, it’s clear that both have moved forward – she due to pregnancy, and he in accepting this change. Consequently, there’s no room for lingering upset. This matter is beyond his reach, beyond his power to influence. He has chosen to let go of any emotional entanglement.

Last summer, I began a relationship with Gisele, but I never envisioned that she would have a child with Joaquim, as reported by Page Six.

Her pregnancy was not on his ‘radar’ and the news last week had left him, ‘stunned, to say the least.’ 

A source disclosed to Us Weekly last October that both Benjamin and Vivian have a fondness for Joaquim, and they mentioned that he has been residing at Bundchen’s home in Miami for some time.

Following the announcement of the pregnancy, an individual close to the situation shared with People that Gisele is eager to embark on this fresh phase in her life openly.

Since then, the beauty has been flooded with numerous heartfelt messages of praise and congratulations. At first, she intended to maintain privacy about her pregnancy for as long as possible, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

Gisele Bundchen, believed to be around the fifth or sixth month of her pregnancy, is reportedly feeling well and incorporating exercises such as Pilates and others beneficial for childbirth into her routine.

The source also shared with the media that Gisele has consistently prioritized self-care, maintaining a balanced diet and practicing meditation regularly.

Bundchen is also taking ‘a step back from work to focus on her pregnancy.’
