In an interview with the publication, Gisele shared rare insight into her new life as a mother-of-three, sharing she’s ‘very grateful’ she was able to spent so much time with her baby boy after giving birth.

The Brazilian star also shares son Benjamin, 15, daughter Vivian, 12, and stepson Jack, 17, with ex-husband Tom Brady.

Gisele went onto say: ‘Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my rhythm. 

‘As any new mother knows, it’s amazing how much sleep or lack of it can change everything! 

‘But then again, I feel really grateful: being able to be at home with my children and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.’

Gisele, who began dating Joaquim in June 2023, went added that following her split from husband Tom, she now feels she’s become more resilient.

The star added: ‘I feel more comfortable in my own skin, and my priorities are clearer. I’m grateful to be where I am. I feel like I’ve earned it.’

Last month, Bündchen shared her first snap of her youngest child on Instagram since his February arrival. 

In the sweet snap, her son’s face was nestled into his mother’s shoulder and wore an adorable ‘I heart Mom’ onesie. 

The post also included a rare snap of Gisele with her children and boyfriend. In the photo, the four shared an embrace whilst the model held her newborn child, whose face was concealed with a red heart emoji.

Friends have now told Daily Mail that Gisele has chosen a first name for her boy that is ‘close to her heart’ with a family tie

‘I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life… Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived. Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.’

Gisele was also particularly missing her mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, who passed at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer.

‘Today, on Mother’s Day, I specially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day.

‘To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can’t describe. I see you, I honor you. Happy mother’s day! Sending so much love your way!’

Friends have now told Daily Mail that Gisele has chosen a first name for her boy that is ‘close to her heart’ with a family tie.

One added the boy may be called Van, which is shortened version of Vânia Nonnenmacher, the name of the model’s late mother.

He could also be called Valdir, after her father, or Pat, a shortened male version of her twin sister’s name, Patricia.

The boy’s middle name is River.

In October, Bundchen’s pregnancy news was revealed – leaving her ex, Brady, ‘stunned’ by the revelation.

A source recently told DailyMail.com how Gisele and Joaquim broke the pregnancy news to Brady.

The model informed Tom that she was expecting her first child with Valente shortly after telling their children because she wanted him to hear it from her first rather than through media reports.

‘Gisele and Joaquim were not planning to have a child together. This was unexpected. Joaquim has always wanted a family, so she is happy to be able to give this to him,’ said a source.

‘She knew that he would be a great father when her kids started taking classes with him. He is patient, playful and so understanding,’ the insider stated.

Both Benjamin and Vivian were ‘absolutely thrilled’ over the big news, the source also shared.

The June-July 2025 issue of Vogue France is on newsstands Tuesday May 27.
