00:00Gisele Bundchen is a mom of three. The 44-year-old supermodel welcomed her new bundle of joy with
00:06boyfriend and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquin Valente, according to multiple reports.
00:11The two first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 before confirming their relationship in June
00:162023. Their baby joins Gisele's son Benjamin Rain and daughter Vivian Lake, whom she shares
00:22with ex-husband Tom Brady. Gisele is also a stepmom to the former quarterback's 16-year-old
00:27son Jack, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynihan. Though Gisele acknowledges that
00:33co-parenting with Tom — whom she finalized her divorce from in October 2022, one month
00:38before first being spotted with Joaquin while on vacation in Costa Rica — hasn't always been easy,
00:44she's grateful that at the end of the day, they both have the same priority.
00:47She tells ABC News' Robin Roberts during a March interview that being a step-parent was
00:52what prepared her for the wonders of parenthood. She says, quote,
00:55"'I got to experience how it feels to be a mom before I was even a mom, to be a bonus mom.
01:00So I got to experience how my heart could feel that love and just expand in ways I never thought
01:05were possible." Despite navigating the heartbreak of her divorce from Tom in 2022 after 13 years of
01:11marriage, she's looking forward to her future. She says, quote,
01:14"'I wouldn't change anything in my life. I had incredible experiences. I learned so much.
01:19I have my children, who were the biggest blessings in my life, and now I get to create a new season,
01:23a new chapter in my life, and I get to learn new things. I get to walk my path in a different way.'"
