Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen may have children together, but the news that she's expecting a baby with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente came as a shock to the NFL champion, friends reveal.

A well-informed Miami source who knows Brady, 47, told Page Six that he “only recently found out that Gisele was pregnant” — but she wasn't the one who broke the news.

“I think they talk when they need to,” the source added.

Although the couple shares two children together – Ben, 14, and Vivian, 11 – the insider added that it was in Bündchen's style to keep the pregnancy a secret from Brady after a difficult split.

“Tom is great, a very nice, normal guy. Gisele is… completely different. She’s really blowing hot and cold,” the insider said.

TMZ reported that the Brazilian supermodel is around five or six months old, meaning the baby is due in early 2025.

And another source confirmed that Brady learned just last week that Bündchen, 44, is expecting a child with her 37-year-old lover, a fellow Brazilian, we hear.

The kids move between Bündchen's $11.5 million Miami estate and Brady's home on exclusive Indian Creek Island, just across the waterway.

“Tom does his best for the children and puts them first and that's all that matters; He’s doing his best.”

Upon announcing the baby news, a source gushed to People, “Gisele and Joaquim are excited about this new chapter in their lives and look forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the entire family.”

Bündchen has not yet commented on her pregnancy. As she left a Pilates studio in Miami two weeks ago, she appeared to cover her baby bump with a large handbag.

But now the question arises as to when Bündchen's relationship with Valente became romantic.

According to a carefully worded article in People, she reportedly began dating Valente, who taught the family jiu-jitsu, in June 2023, although there were rumors that they became closer after they first started dating in November 2022 Her children were seen in Costa Rica a month after her divorce.

“They have been together since June. They take it slow. At first they were good friends. “She's very private about it and wanted to keep it a secret while they were dating,” a source revealed in February after the couple were spotted kissing in Miami on Valentine's Day.

According to the outlet, Valente was “a great comfort to the model while she was going through a divorce.”

She later told The New York Times that she was protective of her new relationship, adding, “This is the first time I'm meeting someone who was a friend of mine first.”

When Bündchen filed for divorce, sources close to Brady told Page Six that the Super Bowl champion was caught off guard by the split. One of them said: “Gisele is always quick-tempered and upset about something, they then had a big argument when they came back,” but Tom was shocked when she told him it was over, he wasn't expecting it.

“They had their problems but they always overcame them and Tom was confident they would do it again.”

In March 2023, Bündchen invited a reporter to her retreat in Costa Rica for a Vanity Fair cover story. The model called her divorce “the death of my dream,” adding, “It's hard because you imagine your life would be a certain way and you did everything you could, you know?”

“As a child I believed in fairy tales. I think it's nice to believe in that. I mean, I'm so grateful that I did that,” she added. “You give everything you have to make your dream come true.”

“You give 100 percent of yourself, and it’s heartbreaking when it doesn’t end up going the way you hoped and worked for, but you can only do your part.”

Addressing rumors that she and Valente were romantically involved, Bündchen said, “I think unfortunately, since I'm divorced, at this point I'm sure they're going to try to tie me down to something.”

She told Vanity Fair that ideally she would live full-time with her children in Costa Rica and would enjoy yoga, playing pickleball and horseback riding.

“My dream was to raise my children here,” Bündchen admitted. “I haven’t been able to be here as often as I wanted, but now I bring her with me more often.”

“If I never went to another city again, I would be perfectly happy,” she said, adding: “I'm a simple girl who wants to be in nature – leave me alone.” I just want my job and raise my children in peace.”

She went on to praise all three Valente brothers, who run a self-defense studio in Florida, for being confidants of her family.

“I am so grateful to know them all because not only have they helped me and my children, but they have also become great friends, especially Joaquim,” she said. “He is our teacher and, above all, a person I admire and trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that kind of energy.”

As Page Six previously revealed, Bündchen and Brady purchased a multimillion-dollar mansion on exclusive Indian Creek Island — home to Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and their children, and billionaire Jeff Bezos — in December 2020 and had originally planned to own the property to renovate and live together in an environmentally friendly settlement.

However, Brady is now using it as a bachelor pad after razing the island property, nicknamed the “Billionaire's Bunker.”

A vision of opulence, the mega-mansion features a separate state-of-the-art gym, home office, waterfront pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, lush gardens and a tree-lined driveway leading to a multi-parking car court. car garage.

The former New England Patriots quarterback moved to Florida with Bündchen and their children in April 2020 when he signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after famously coming out of retirement.

But their relationship faltered due to the move and the couple divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

So far, the former Super Bowl champion, who officially retired from football in February 2023, has only shared a cryptic song about “change.”

He posted a sunset photo via Instagram Stories that was set to the Chicks' 2022 cover of Fleetwood Mac's “Landslide.” The famous lyrics in the post were: “Oh, mirror in heaven, what is love / Can the child in my heart rise above / Can I sail through the changing tides of the ocean / Can I deal with the seasons of my life?”

Brady was left red-faced after being teased by comedian Nikki Glaser on his Comedy Central Roast about his divorce.

“Tom Brady, five-time Super Bowl MVP, most career wins, most career touchdowns, you have seven rings – well, eight, now that Gisele gave hers back,” Glaser said, continuing to dig.

“Do you know about his diet program? It's so strict. But if you follow it the same way he did, you too may lose your family,” she joked.

But according to friends, he's really happy now and is dating model Irina Shayk and, according to rumors, casually dating Sports Illustrated star Brooks Nader.

Brady – who is also father to 17-year-old son Jack with his ex Bridget Moynahan – regularly parties in Miami and hangs out with his close friends David Beckham and Miami restaurateur and club owner Dave Grutman, while he is often seen playing golf in the renowned Shell Bay Club,

He was recently spotted with his sons at the celeb-filled Taylor Swift concert in Miami.

Meanwhile, Miami sources report that Bündchen is keeping to himself.

Bündchen, who recently released her first cookbook, and Valente are now reportedly waiting to find out the baby's gender.

According to another source, friends do not believe that Gisele and her boyfriend will get married and continue living together.

“There is a big difference between them in terms of net worth.” the source said: “For Gisele there is no point in tempting fate.” She is thrilled to have a third child. Many of the models she knows had their third babies in their 40s. Adriana Lima, for example. She's in a cocoon right now. And the children are excited to welcome a new sibling.”
