Gisele Bundchen breaks social media silence with first public photo of new baby son
Gisele Bundchen shared the first public photo of her baby son with boyfriend Joaquim Valente on Mother's Day.
After nearly five months of social media silence, Gisele Bundchen shared the first public photo of her baby son and a tribute to her late mother in a Mother’s Day Instagram post.
“I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life,” Bundchen, 44, wrote. “Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived. Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.”
Gisele also shared a tribute to her late mother, Vania Nonnenmacher, who died at the age of 75 in January 2024 after a battle with cancer.

“Today, on Mother’s Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full,” Bundchen wrote. “Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day.”
Bundchen did not share their name of her son, who she welcomed in February with her boyfriend, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
Though she was photographed with Valente as early as November 2022, Bundchen didn’t publicly acknowledge the couple’s relationship until 2024, more than a year after her and Tom Brady’s divorce was finalized.
Brady, for his part, shared a Mother’s Day tribute to all the mothers in his life: Bundchen, his own mother Galynn, his two sisters, and ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, the mother of Brady’s eldest child, Jack.

“Happy Mothers Day to all the incredible moms I’m so lucky to have in my life,” Brady wrote on his Instagram Story, sharing a collage of photos featuring the five women and his three children.
