Gisele Bündchen Finally Introduces the Baby Boy She Welcomed With Her Jiu-Jitsu Trainer

Gisele Bündchen isn’t just one of the most iconic supermodels in the world — she’s also a devoted mom of three. From co-parenting with NFL legend Tom Brady to embracing life with her new baby boy, Gisele continues to show that motherhood can be both graceful and powerful. Her journey is filled with love, growth, and the kind of heartfelt moments that remind us what really matters.

New Chapter

Gisele Bündchen is embracing a beautiful new chapter in her life. After finalizing her divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady in October 2022, the supermodel has been focusing on family and personal growth. She shares two children with Brady: Benjamin, now 15, and Vivian, 12.

In June 2023, Gisele began a relationship with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, whom she met through martial arts training. Their friendship blossomed into romance, and in February 2025, they welcomed their first child together—a baby boy with the middle name River.

Gisele introduced her newborn to the world on Mother’s Day 2025, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a photo of her son dressed in a cozy outfit that read “I ❤️ Mom.” The post also included images of her other children and a tribute to her late mother, who passed away in January 2024.

Now a mother of three, Gisele continues to prioritize her family’s well-being while maintaining a harmonious co-parenting relationship with Brady. Her journey reflects a commitment to love, growth, and embracing life’s new beginnings. And what’s her secret? Gisele follows a few simple motherhood principles.

1. She always tries to lead by example.

One of the key elements of Gisele Bündchen’s parenting style is leading by example. The supermodel revealed that being a great role model in her kids’ lives is her main priority.

“My main focus with my children is to try to lead by example. I try to show my kids how words have so much power and to use them with care. If they don’t have anything loving to say, then they shouldn’t say anything,” she explained in an interview.

2. She has an all-natural approach when it comes to food and exercise.

Whether it’s getting her children to eat healthy, get enough exercise, or enjoy nature, Bündchen is all about showing her kids the way. That’s why she loves to do activities together, like practicing yoga with her daughter or swimming with her son. The model stresses the importance of natural alternatives, like dipping a cloth into cold milk and wrapping it around her children’s necks when they have a sore throat.

When it comes to exercise, the family does a lot of it together. “We are all pretty active at our home. We do some form of physical exercise every day. It all depends on where we are,” Bündchen shared. Having a nutritious diet is also very important for the supermodel mom, and she and her children have a mostly plant-based diet.

3. She limits her kids’ screen time, but doesn’t completely ban browsing.

Like many children, Gisele Bündchen’s kids have a limit on how much time they can spend online during the day. Her kids have time limits set on their devices, and they cannot use electronics around the table or in bed. The Brazilian model also stresses the importance of kids spending enough time outside and enjoying nature.

On the other hand, Bündchen recognizes the positive impact social media can have, so she’s never considered completely banning it from her home. “Technology and social media can be a wonderful platform to spread positivity and awareness, but I do believe it is important to stay present and mindful of how it is used,” she explained.

4. She’s a huge advocate for breastfeeding, and even used the milk for an unconventional purpose.

“One of the most special moments I’ve shared with my kids was while breastfeeding,” the supermodel wrote in an Instagram post. Bündchen cherished the connection she enjoyed with her babies while nursing them, and also noted that they never got sick while they were being breastfed.

Bündchen also revealed that she used the breastmilk for some less conventional purposes as well. Namely, that she put drops of breast milk in her children’s eyes and noses to ward off bacteria. She also kept bottles of frozen milk in the fridge after she stopped breastfeeding, for these purposes.

Meanwhile, another supermodel, Heidi Klum, has kids who are already grown up — and recently, her son with Seal made his runway debut.
