Gisele Bundchen and boyfriend Joaquim Valente remain true to themselves and do not let Bündchen’s pregnancy rush them through the marriage process.
“They are very committed to each other, but there are currently no plans for marriage,” a source exclusively revealed in the latest issue of We weeklynoting that the couple is “not talking about marriage” at the moment.
Although Bündchen, 44, and Valente, 37, have been living together since shortly after they started dating in the summer of 2023 — and are now expecting their first baby together — they are reportedly in no rush to tie the knot.
“They are in love and happy,” says the insider. “But right now, marriage is not at the top of their to-do list.”
The source noted that both Bündchen and the jiu jitsu trainer are “happy with the pregnancy,” which is their focus.
On October 28, news broke that Bündchen is pregnant with her third baby and Valente’s first. (Bündchen shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with ex-husband Tom Brady. She is also the stepmother to Brady’s son Jack, 17, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.)
Days later, the model showed off her growing baby bump as she stepped out in a little black dress in Miami.
Although Bündchen’s pregnancy surprised some fans, given her recent split from retired NFL quarterback Brady, the insider says Us that her ex-husband is at peace with the news.
“He wants to see her happy,” the source says of Brady, noting that the former football player, 47, and Bündchen remain amicable following their divorce in October 2022. “They maintain a co-parenting relationship focused solely on the well-being of their children.”
An insider said this last month Us that Brady was one of the first to hear about Bündchen’s pregnancy.
“When Gisele told the kids about her pregnancy, she let Tom know too,” an insider close to Brady said in October. “This happened a few months ago. She wanted to show him that courtesy and knew the kids would tell him anyway.
Brady and Bündchen were married for 13 years before divorcing in October 2022. Since they split, they have remained devoted to their children and close to each other, as they both live in Florida.
While the insider said last month that the former New England Patriots quarterback was “shocked” when Bündchen shared her news, he knows his ex “is a great mother and was meant to be a mother.”
Although the pregnancy is a recent development, Bündchen’s relationship with Valente is not new to Brady and their children. The supermodel started dating Valente in the summer of 2023 after meeting her and Brady’s children.
Their blended family has continued to thrive since then, according to the source, who says Valente “has participated in family activities and provides support [Benjamin and Vivian’s] interests” and has “developed a positive relationship with [Gisele’s] children.”
Meanwhile, Benjamin and Vivian, who already have a blended family with half-brother Jack, are looking forward to having a younger sibling, the insider adds.
