Gisele Bündchen is joyfully celebrating her first Mother’s Day as a mother of three! In a heartfelt tribute to this special occasion, the renowned supermodel took to Instagram to share the first photos of her newborn son with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. This touching post, made on Mother’s Day 2025, marks a significant moment for Bündchen as she embraces her new role in motherhood.
In her Instagram carousel, Bündchen reflected on her journey, stating, “I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived.” This message comes after a months-long hiatus from social media, where she has been focusing on the quieter, more meaningful aspects of life. She emphasized the importance of “embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, and the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.”
This Mother’s Day holds a bittersweet significance for Bündchen, as she remembers her late mother, Vania Nonnenmacher, who passed away in January 2024 after a courageous battle with cancer. Despite this loss, she expressed that her “heart is full,” sharing, “Being a mother has been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day.” The 44-year-old supermodel extended her heartfelt wishes to all mothers, stating, “To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can’t describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy Mother’s Day! Sending so much love your way! ❤️.”
The first image in her post features the former Victoria’s Secret model cradling her 3-month-old son, who donned an adorable white onesie with the words “I heart MOM” printed on the back. In another precious snapshot, Bündchen, Valente, their newborn, along with her two older children, Benjamin (15) and Vivian (12)—whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady—came together for a warm family hug.
While Bündchen and Valente have not disclosed the baby’s full name, reports from People suggest that his middle name is River. In March, Page Six reported that Bündchen, who divorced Brady in 2022, has felt a sense of freedom since beginning her relationship with Valente. A source revealed that she is “grateful for what she had” with the former New England Patriots quarterback and “blessed for their children,” but she is “absolutely loving this new chapter” in her life with Valente.
