Supermodel Gisele Bündchen recently gave her followers a unique insight into her family life, sharing a collection of images from a tropical retreat in Tahiti. The photographs offered a rare glimpse of her youngest son, who is one year old, alongside her husband, Joaquim Valente, and her elder children, Benjamin Rein, 16, and Vivian Lake, 13, whom she shares with her former husband, Tom Brady, 48.
Bündchen, 45, and Valente formalized their union in 2025, several months after the arrival of their son, whose name they have chosen not to disclose publicly.
Tahitian Family Moments
Among the shared snapshots, one featured Bündchen gracefully standing in the ocean, clad in a white bikini and a straw hat, holding hands with her baby son, who sported coordinating white swim trunks. Another image captured the former Victoria's Secret Angel in a self-portrait, wearing a pink sleeveless knit dress, adorned with delicate gold necklaces and a white lei, topped with a crown of vibrant tropical flowers as she smiled warmly for the camera.
The same ensemble was seen on Bündchen as she danced alongside her infant son and Valente, enjoying live music performed by local Tahitian artists. Valente was also photographed cherishing time with their child in the ocean; wearing snorkeling goggles on his head and black swim trunks, he held their son aloft as a stingray glided through the water beneath them.
Bündchen also documented the tender interactions between her children during the trip. One photo showed Benjamin cradling his younger half-sibling on a boat, both looking down at the ocean waves. Vivian was captured in another heartwarming moment on the boat, gently embracing her baby brother. Additionally, Bündchen included a picture of Vivian with her arm wrapped around her older brother as they took in a breathtaking view from a cliffside.
The family's vacation itinerary also included various activities such as bike riding, snorkeling, performing headstands in the ocean, admiring the lush tropical scenery, savoring fresh fruit, and stargazing. Bündchen captioned her photo series with a sentiment in both English and Portuguese:
What a special place! Que lugar especial!
Blended Family Life and Recent Milestones
The model first publicly acknowledged her relationship with Valente in June 2023, approximately seven months after her divorce from Brady was finalized in October 2022, concluding their 13-year marriage. Bündchen welcomed her third child in February 2025, followed by a private wedding ceremony with Valente in December 2025.
The previous month, Bündchen expressed her appreciation for Valente and honored her own father, Valdir Bündchen, in a heartfelt Father's Day message posted on Instagram. She wrote to Valente in both English and Portuguese:
Happy Father’s Day @joaquimvalente! Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency. You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.She then extended her gratitude to her father:
And dad, thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life.The post concluded with a general message:
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.
Bündchen's Father's Day tribute featured several images of Valente sharing tender moments with their son. The carousel also highlighted the strong bond Valente shares with her older children, including a photo of Vivian embracing him and another of Benjamin standing back-to-back with his stepfather. The entire blended family was also pictured together in a group hug, seated on the floor.
Reflecting on her life and shifting priorities since the birth of her third child, Bündchen spoke with Vogue France in May 2025, describing her ideal day. She stated:
Being with my family, especially when we can do outdoor activities together. Spending time with them is what makes me happiest.
