Gisele Bündchen's family stands as a paragon of love and togetherness. Eight months after joyfully welcoming a baby boy into the world with her partner, Joaquim Valente, the renowned supermodel offered a heartwarming glimpse into how one of her elder sons—who joins siblings Benjamin, 15, stepson Jack, 18, and daughter Vivian, 12, from her previous relationship with Tom Brady—is forging a special bond with his newest sibling.
In a captivating series of Instagram photos shared by Gisele on October 12, one of her older sons is captured sitting with his back to the camera on a grand piano bench, cradling his baby brother in his lap. Both boys, dressed in matching green pants and white t-shirts, have their hands poised over the piano keys, creating a touching tableau of sibling affection. "There's only one thing more precious than our time..." Gisele penned in her caption, translated to say, "And that's who we choose to spend it with."
Accompanying this poignant image and the same inspirational quote were other snapshots in the carousel: a tender moment between Gisele and Vivian snuggling, a photo of a sparkling crystal, glimpses of recent culinary delights, and scenes of the family reveling in outdoor adventures together. In the carousel's opening frame, Gisele paused mid-workout to snap a picture of her loyal dog, nestled close by. Seen in the mirror's reflection before her, the 45-year-old beauty kept her 7-month-old baby nearby, the little one lying comfortably on a nearby baby mat.
Since the arrival of her baby with Joaquim, Gisele has occasionally offered fans a peek into their new life together, including a July post where she was seen hiking with her baby securely strapped to her chest, both mesmerized by a distant waterfall. The July 23 post, shared as a birthday recap, also featured a heartwarming snapshot of her baby sitting beside his father, Valdir Bündchen.
In her caption, Gisele reflected on the year gone by with profound gratitude. "I'm so grateful for another journey around the sun and even more thankful to have spent it immersed in nature, surrounded by love and my family," she wrote. Paying tribute to her mother, Vania Nonnenmacher, who passed away in January, she added, "Today is also my mom's birthday. We miss her deeply, but we know she's always with us."
Despite the rollercoaster of recent years, Gisele remained steadfast in her optimism. "I continue to trust and embrace life with an open heart, holding onto gratitude for all that lies ahead," she affirmed. "Sending love to everyone."
