Big news: Gisele Bündchen is pregnant with bb number three! And according to People, which first reported the exciting news, the model and her longtime boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, are beyond thrilled about the latest addition to their lives. (FYI, Gisele currently shares son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11, with her ex-husband Tom Brady.)

According to a source who spoke to the outlet via a statement, “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.”

A reminder that the couple has reportedly been dating since June 2023, but they low-key go back a whiiiiile. Case in point? They first met back in 2021 after the supermodel’s kids began taking jiujitsu classes at Joaquim’s academy, which the athlete cofounded in Miami with his brothers.

And apparently, Gisele wasn’t interested in the practice at first but confessed to Dust Magazine that her mentality shifted once she saw him teach her children martial arts. Ahem: “Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself,” the model said (via Harper’s Bazaar). “But when I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense. It felt very much in line with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.” S’cute!

Despite the supermodel reportedly wanting to keep the ’ship “private” due to “taking it slow” when they first began seeing each other, the couple has since come a long way. “Joaquim is a great guy. He is down-to-earth, kind, and inspiring. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It’s been very natural for her to date Joaquim,” an insider dished to People back in February. “He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce,” they added.

Congrats to Gisele and Joaquim on the exciting news!
