Gisele Bündchen gave her 22.9 million Instagram followers a rare glimpse of her baby son on Wednesday.
She shares the tot, who is around five months old, with her Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor–turned–boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
The baby boy looked adorable as he sat on his mother’s lap in a sweet photo taken outside in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of her home country of Brazil.
She had ventured south of the border after she was recently seen making a risky move while on a stroll near her home in Florida with her son.
Gisele’s son — whose name has not yet been publicly revealed — joined her as she celebrated her 45th birthday with family members.
Among them was her fraternal twin sister Patricia, who beamed while posing with Gisele as they held matching birthday cakes. The sisters’ birthday is on July 20 but Gisele noted in a tribute that their late mother’s birthday was on July 23, the day she shared the post.

Their birthday celebrations took place in the midst of a gorgeous forest, and the supermodel shared another stunning photo in which she held her young son harnessed to her chest as she explored the wilderness while gazing at a picturesque waterfall in the distance.
While Gisele’s son — whose middle name is reportedly ‘River’ — wasn’t old enough to get his mother a present, he was still able to give her a sweet card after getting a bit of help.
The catwalk star included a sweet card reading ‘Happy Birthday Mom!!!’ in Brazilian Portuguese, but it was signed with her son’s cute foot print that looked as if it could have been made with burgundy-colored paint, or perhaps a jam or berry purée.
Gisele shares two older children with her ex-husband Tom Brady: her son Benjamin, 15, and her daughter Vivian, 12.
She also has a 17-year-old stepson Jack, whom her ex shares with his former partner, Bridget Moynahan.
Another photo from Gisele’s nature explorations showed her grasping the arm of a young girl, who appeared from behind to be Vivian.
They stopped to admire a smaller waterfall tucked away in the trees.
Gisele revealed that her boyfriend Joaquim had joined her for the family trip.

Tucked in with her photos was a gorgeous black-and-white portrait of Gisele’s mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, to whom she looks nearly identical.
‘Haven’t been around here much, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the warm birthday wishes,’ Gisele wrote in her caption. ‘I’m so grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful to have spent it in nature, surrounded by love and my family.
‘Today is also my mom’s birthday. We miss her deeply, but we know she’s always with us. I continue to trust and welcome life with an open heart, holding gratitude for all that is still to come,’ Gisele continued. ‘Sending love to everyone ❤️.’
The Brazilian model’s mother died at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer.
Gisele has been focused on raising her family in recent years after retiring from the runway back in 2016.
In May, she revealed that her life was starting to settle down again after she welcome her son in February.
‘Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my routine,’ she shared with Vogue France in May.

She and her ex Tom Brady also shared 15-year-old son Benjamin (bottom) and 12-year-old daughter Vivian (R). She was also the stepmom to his 17-year-old son Jack (L), whom she shares with his former partner Bridget Moynahan
‘As any new mom knows, it’s incredible how much sleep — or lack of it — can change everything! But once again, I feel truly grateful: being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.’
Gisele’s relationship with Joachim began professional in 2021, when she and her children began taking jiu-jitsu classes at the center he runs with his brother.
Then, in October 2022, she and her husband Tom announced that they were divorcing.
Gisele and Joaquim courted scandal when she were pictured traveling together to Costa Rica in November 2022, just two weeks after her rapid divorce was finalized.
However, she denied ever having an affair with the 35-year-old martial arts instructor during her 13-year-old marriage to the football icon.
