On Monday, Oct. 28, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Gisele Bündchen, 44, and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente, 35, are expecting their first child together—Bündchen's third. This news left fans curious about how she managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps for months.
While Bündchen frequently posts about her two children, Benjamin Rein, 14, and Vivian Lake, 11, from her previous marriage to Tom Brady, there were no hints on social media that she was expecting again. Earlier this month, she shared an Instagram Reel promoting an herbal supplement brand, strategically filmed from the chest up.

Although many speculated that the former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who walked the runway from 1999 to 2006, would appear at the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Oct. 15, Bündchen was notably absent.
On Oct. 4, Bündchen posted a series of photos from her modeling campaign with Colcci Jeans, showing her with an exposed stomach as she posed in Brazil. However, the timing of these photos is unclear.
Just a day prior, on Oct. 3, Bündchen shared a look inspired by Italian actress Monica Vitti, wearing a tousled blonde bob in photos taken by Steven Meisel for a special Zara collection. Her stomach was concealed by either a fur jacket or baggy pants in these images.
On Sept. 22, she posted a carousel labeled "Best of summer! ☀️ O melhor do verão!" that featured full bikini shots from the summer months. Earlier, she had shared images from a Vogue Brasil shoot, where she wore figure-hugging outfits and corsets, some even with mesh fabric across the midsection.
In July, Bündchen shared photos from a family vacation in Bahia, Brazil, showing herself leaping on the beach in a cheetah-print bikini.
Finally, a source close to Bündchen confirmed the pregnancy to PEOPLE, saying, "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."
Bündchen has been in a relationship with Valente, a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, since June 2023. Their baby will join Bündchen’s two children, Benjamin and Vivian.
