On Monday, People reported that a source close to the model told them in a statement that she is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. TMZ also reported a source close to Gisele confirmed her pregnancy to them.
Gisele is a mother to two children with her ex-husband, Tom Brady. They have a 14-year-old son, Benjamin, and an 11-year-old daughter, Vivian. Tom is also dad to his 17-year-old son, Jack, with Bridget Moynahan, whom he previously dated.
According to People, the source close to Gisele told them in 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.”
In a January interview for Harper’s Bazaar, Gisele offered a peek into her life coparenting with Tom. “‘The way you make your room, the way you organize and make your bed is the way you’re going to do your life,’” she told the publication of the parenting philosophy she’s imparted to her kids. “’If you’re not learning here and now, then when and with who?’ Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they’re in two different homes and there are two different ways. But I feel like I owe it to my kids, because of what my mom taught me.”
Gisele also told Harper’s Bazaar she isn’t focused on what people think of her personal life. “I can’t really worry about what other people say about me because what they say about me is none of my business. It’s really their business that they’re trying to project onto me,” she said. “If I’m going to be affected by that, I’m never going to live my truth.”
BuzzFeed has reached out to a representative for Gisele for confirmation of People and TMZ’s reporting.
