Gisele Bündchen Told Ex Tom Brady About Her Pregnancy Before News Spread: Report
Gisele Bündchen made sure to inform her ex-husband Tom Brady about her pregnancy news, a source claimed to a news outlet.
According to the insider, the model told Brady, whom she was married to until 2022, and their two kids — Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 — she was pregnant with Joaquim Valente's child before word got out, as she didn't want him "reading about it in the news."
As OK! previously reported, the mom-of-two and Valente are expecting their first child together.
"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," the source said in a statement obtained by People.
According to a source who spoke to Daily Mail, the pregnancy was "unexpected."
"Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together," the insider said. "Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him."
"She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding," they added.
Bündchen has been dating her Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Valente, since June 2023.
"They were keeping things quiet — but recently there’s been more PDA; they’re happy to be affectionate with each other in public," the insider noted of the pair.
