The news comes nearly two years after Bündchen divorced longtime husband Tom Brady, the NFL legend and former Patriots player whom she was married to for over 13 years.
Brady, 46, is the father of Bündchen's first two children: son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11. The Brazil native also served as a stepmom to Brady's firstborn son, Jack, 16, from his former relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
Some fans had already begun to speculate about a possible pregnancy from Bündchen after she was spotted in a bathing suit with a possible baby bump during a recent trip to Costa Rica with Valente and her kids, as seen in photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
Bündchen first met Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor, back in 2021 when she began training at his studio in Florida. The duo, who were first spotted together in late 2022, were friends for a while before their relationship eventually turned romantic in June 2023, according to PEOPLE.
Despite trying to keep their relationship under the radar, news of Bündchen's romance with Valente eventually broke in February 2024. In a March 2024 interview with Good Morning America's Robin Roberts, Bündchen declined to speak about Valente, insisting that she wanted to "keep her personal life private."
But she later opened up about the new love in her life in an interview with the New York Times the same month, where she all but mentioned the martial arts instructor by name.
"This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she said at the time. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
Congratulations to Bündchen and Valente on their little bundle of joy on the way!
