Gisele Bündchen is entering 2026 with a bigger family.
The supermodel looked back on how she and husband Joaquim Valente welcomed their first baby together this year, writing alongside never-before-seen photos of their son, "As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full."
"This year brought deep lessons and profound growth," Gisele—who is also mom to Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 12, with ex Tom Brady—shared on Instagram Dec. 31. "Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart."
She continued, "I’m grateful for these sacred moments that changed me in ways words can’t fully hold. Thank you, 2025. I step into this new year with gratitude, love, and trust for what’s next."
One photo showed Gisele, 45, breastfeeding her newborn as her dog Vida snuggled by her feet, while she was pictured carrying her baby boy while laughing in another snapshot. Other images included Benjamin playing with his baby brother, as well as the teen and Vivian entertaining the little one in his bouncer.
The mom of three also posted several pictures taken from her pregnancy, including one of Joaquim cradling her baby bump as they looked on into the sunset.
But Gisele's family didn't just expand through the arrival of her and Joaquim's son. After all, she also tied the knot with the jiu jitsu instructor after more than two years of dating.
In court records reviewed by E! News, the couple were married by a notary on Dec. 3—two days after their marriage license was issued—in Surfside, Fla.
And for Gisele, this relationship is unlike any of her previous ones.
"This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first," the former Victoria's Secret Angel, who was married to Tom Brady from 2009 to 2022, told the New York Times in a 2024 interview. "It is very honest, and it’s very transparent."
