Underneath the quote, Brady wrote, "❤️❤️❤️ Love this."

The retired football star's upload comes a day after news broke that Bündchen, 44, and Valente, 37, had welcomed their first child.

A source told PEOPLE earlier on Thursday that the Brazilian supermodel had welcomed a baby boy. Although his first name is unknown at this time, the source said his middle name is River.

The name continues the tradition of giving her kids water-themed middle names, as she shares daughter Vivian Lake, 12, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, with Brady. The athlete also shares son John "Jack" Edward Thomas, 17, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

Prior to her newborn's arrival, an insider told PEOPLE that "Gisele's doing great."

"She seems the happiest she's ever been. She's truly thriving," the insider said. "The baby has been a happy surprise. Joaquim can't wait for the baby to arrive. They are planning a home birth."

Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend first made headlines in February 2022 when she shared a video of her session at his academy. Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce after 13 years of marriage in October 2022 and agreed to joint custody of their children.

In February 2024, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Bündchen and Valente have been dating since June 2023. PEOPLE confirmed that the couple were expecting their first baby together in October 2024.
