Gisele Bündchen, 44, and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente are expecting their first child together and although the couple is thrilled, the model’s age could make this pregnancy more challenging.
A source close to the couple shared, “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter and are looking forward to creating an atmosphere of peace and love for their family.”
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente’s Pregnancy
While not many details are known, a source told TMZ that Gisele is between five and six months along.
Gisele and Joaquim plan to wait until the birth to learn if it’s a boy or a girl, just as she did with her children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with Tom Brady—so there won’t be a reveal party.
The baby is expected to arrive in early 2025.
Why Gisele Bündchen’s Pregnancy Is Considered Risky
Gisele’s pregnancy is considered high-risk due to her age. As women get older, pregnancy risks increase. At 44, the quality and quantity of eggs decline, raising the chance of infertility and potential complications, including miscarriage.
There is also an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, like Down syndrome, which is more common in babies born to older mothers.
The Love Story of Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente
The couple has known each other for years but started dating in June 2023, after her divorce from Tom Brady. Rumors about their romance surfaced after photos of them on trips together appeared.
Although she initially called it a friendship, they confirmed their relationship in early 2024. Some speculated that the relationship began before her divorce, a claim Gisele firmly denied.
