gisele bündchen ends another chapter as tom brady s son makes new

“I think before I was more surviving, and now I’m living,” Gisele Bündchen had said in September 2023, while describing her new life. Having lived in the spotlight for two decades—16 years of which were spent at the helm of the New England Patriots madness, alongside husband, Tom Brady—it was understandable where she was coming from. “My parents have been married for 50 years, and I really wanted that to happen,” she painfully admitted, talking about her separation. Thankfully, life has taken a different turn for the supermodel since then. One filled with simplicity, an example of which we got recently, albeit with the beautiful imagery of her son’s growing bonds. Bündchen’s latest Instagram carousel, shared on August 20, felt like another milestone in this journey.

Across twenty slides, she layered several pictures of her travel, family, reflection, and renewal. Yet, it was the eighteenth slide that spoke loudest without saying much at all, as the Brazilian closed the book on what her latest chapter. A trip to France. The picture we are talking about revealed a different kind of connection: Joaquim Valente sharing a basketball session with Benjamin (Gisele’s son with Brady). No reporters, no podiums, no fields. Just a court, a ball, and the building of trust between a stepfather and stepson.

Alongside the pictures, the Brazilian star wrote, “Obrigada, verão, você foi tão bom conosco,” Portuguese for “Thank you, summer, you’ve been so good to us!” Benjamin, long described by his parents as thoughtful and artistic, isn’t often seen in pictures. Yet here, in the quiet exchange of passes and laughter, was proof that family doesn’t have to follow traditional scripts. For Gisele, the photo spoke of trust. For Valente, it marked his place in Benjamin’s growing world. This small moment carried the weight of transition, blending the past Gisele once shared with Brady and the present she is now building anew.

Gisele and Brady were married for thirteen years, raising two children together, Benjamin, now fifteen, and Vivian, twelve. Their divorce in 2022 marked the end of an era, yet not the end of family ties. While insiders say Gisele is “absolutely loving this new chapter,” Gisele herself notes, “I think you have to accept, sometimes that the way you are in your 20s, it’s sometimes you grow together, sometimes... I mean, he’s the father of my kids, you know? So, I always wish him the best, and I’m so grateful that he gave me wonderful children. I mean, he’s the father of my kids, you know?

Not only is the moniker adorable in and of itself, but it continues a sweet tradition that the supermodel started with her first two kids, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.

A source told People that Bündchen and Joaquim Valente, her boyfriend and jiu-jitsu instructor, welcomed a baby boy. While his first name is still unknown, the insider added that his middle name is "River." Super fans will know Bündchen has a trend of giving her kids water-themed middle names.

Brady also shares a 17-year-old son, Jack, with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

This is Bündchen and Valente's first child together. The couple first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 when they were spotted vacationing together in Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica, with her two kids. A source confirmed to People in February 2024 that they were an item and had been officially dating since June 2023.

“I never take for granted these precious moments with favorite people in one of our favorite places,” Brady, 47, captioned a heartwarming clip and photos of himself and sons Jack, 17, and Benjamin, 15,... He added that there is “plenty of snow for a few final laps this season” and boasted that he did not have any “wipeouts this year either” alongside a cheeky winking emoji. The legendary quarterback began the carousel with a clip of Vivian and himself bundled up in winter gear and doing a special handshake before embracing. Jack Johnson’s song “Better Together” accompanied the video. Brady, rocking a camo Macculloch Parka by Canada Goose, also included an action shot of the family of four gliding down the snow-covered slopes and individual shots of his kids expertly navigating the mountains. Life is often measured in years, but it could also be measured in seasons.

Each season brings with it new beginnings, challenges, and opportunities. And for supermodel Gisele Bündchen, each chapter of her life has been defined by reinvention. In 2022, Gisele and her husband, NFL superstar Tom Brady, announced their separation after 12 years of marriage. The news came as a shock to their fans, who had always seen them as the perfect power couple. But for Gisele, it was the start of a new chapter in her life. While some may have expected Gisele to wallow in sadness and self-pity, she chose to embrace the change and move forward with grace and determination.

She focused on her career, her children, and most importantly, herself. Gisele has always been known for her stunning looks and successful modeling career. But she has also been vocal about her passion for environmental causes and her desire to make a positive impact on the world. With her newfound freedom, she has been able to fully dedicate herself to these causes. In 2018, Gisele released her book, “Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life,” where she shared her personal journey and the lessons she has learned along the way. The book became a bestseller and inspired many to find their own path to a meaningful life.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are proud parents of their all-grown-up son Benjamin. The former NFL star took to his Instagram account to mark his younger son's 16th birthday with a gushing tribute. In the celebratory post, the proud father posted a series of snaps of Benjamin throughout the years, along with other kids. “Happy 16th Birthday, my precious forever baby boy Benny! You’re officially old enough to drive, but not old enough to stop texting me ‘Where r u?’ at midnight," Brady captioned the post. The seven-time Super Bowl champion went on to say, “You are kind and caring and thoughtful, you lead with your heart but you are also so funny and fun to be around and you...

Tom Brady is known for sharing family snaps on social media, particularly of his two kids. This past Saturday, Brady chose to spotlight his parents and the essence of love. This heartfelt post comes after the seven-time Super Bowl champ parted ways with his supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen, who recently welcomed a baby with her new beau, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. "56 years ago in Browerville, MN... Happy Anniversary to the most incredible parents anyone could ask for," penned the ex-New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, accompanying the message with four nostalgic photos of his parents Galynn and Tom... on their wedding day.

"Over the years, you've shown our whole family what it truly means to build a life of love, laughter and faith," adding, "You've taught us how to support one another, how to grow together,... "We're endlessly grateful for everything you've done and continue to do for us. Thank you for being the heart of our family. Here's to 56 amazing years - and many more to come!"
