Gisele Bündchen is going to be a mom again!

The 44-year-old supermodel is expecting her third child—her first with boyfriend and Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, according to a report from People. A source told the magazine, "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."

Gisele's baby will join her 14-year-old son, Benjamin, and her 11-year-old daughter, Vivian, both of whom she shares with ex Tom Brady.

The Brazilian model has yet to address the big news, and she didn't make an appearance at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. However, she did debut her baby bump during a casual outing in Miami. In photos obtained by EOnline, she donned a large white sweatshirt with green leggings while visiting the gym. She completed the look with a beige baseball cap and a pair of flip-flops.

Bündchen met her partner when she started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under the Valente brothers in 2021, and the pair was first spotted together in November 2022, when they traveled to Provincia de Puntarenas with the model's kids. However, it was confirmed earlier this year that the couple officially started dating in June 2023. A source close to the model told People at the time, "He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce."

They added, "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."

Brady and Bündchen got divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, and they currently share custody of their two children.

In her memoir, Lessons, the model has opened up about her parenting experiences, noting that at times she felt "overwhelmed or conflicted" when her kids were younger. She wrote, "I felt the massive new responsibility of motherhood. I wanted to do my best, and to do it right. The thing is, I was an experienced mom, in on-the-job training, plus I sometimes felt torn, since I knew I had so much more I wanted to create in the world. Now that the kids are older and in school, I know that soon I’ll be ready to begin climbing another mountain."
