Gisele Bündchen Is Pregnant With Baby No. 3, First With Boyfriend Joaquim Valente

And though Gisele acknowledged that coparenting with Tom—whom she finalized her divorce from in October 2022, one month before first being spotted with Joaquim while on vacation in Costa Rica—hasn't always been easy, she's grateful that, at the end of the day, they both have the same priority. 

"Tom has to have time with them, and I have time with them," she shared, "which I think is amazing because they get to really experience more enrichment for their lives."

Noting that her kids get to experience and learn from "two different worlds," she added, "That’s wonderful for them."

Of course, Joaquim—who was Gisele's jiu-jitsu instructor before they started dating—has been getting in some quality time as well. Back in September, the runway model shared a sweet photo the Valente Brothers Self Defense academy co-founder paddleboarding with her son Benjamin. 

Captioning the Sept. 22 Instagram carousel, she wrote, “Best of summer!”

And Gisele attributes her parenting success to the childhood lessons instilled in her as a kid. 

"You are where you come from," she explained. "All those things that I learned as a kid are things that are in me. It doesn't change. In many ways, it's also what kept me safe, because my value system was so strong."

Of course, welcoming a new addition to that family dynamic isn't the only thing Gisele has been preparing for as of late. The Devil Wears Prada actress has also been navigating another major family change: her kids growing up. In fact, she previously quipped that she hadn't expected Benjamin to reach her height. 

"One day your baby will stand as tall as you are," Gisele wrote in a December 2023 birthday tribute to her son. "And you won’t be ready for it."

As for what advice she's given her kids as they come into their own? Gisele told Harper's Bazaar in an interview published Jan. 17, "‘The way you make your room, the way you organize and make your bed is the way you're going to do your life."

And that's not the only piece of wisdom the supermodel has passed down as a mom. She also shared a question she often urges her children to ask themselves. 

"'If you're not learning here and now," Gisele said, "then when and with who?'"
