Gisele Bündchen is “thrilled” to be having a third child, a source tells Page Six.

But her pals don’t expect the Brazilian supermodel, 44, to tie the knot with her jiu-jitsu instructor baby daddy Joaquim Valente, 37, “anytime soon.”

We hear friends think the pair will just “live together for now.”

The Victoria’s Secret stunner and her ex-husband, retired NFL star Tom Brady, finalized their divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage. 

However, our source says marriage between Bündchen and Valente is not on the table at this point.

The model is pregnant with her first child with Valente. She has two children with her ex, Tom Brady. MEGA

“There is a huge difference between them net-worth wise,” says the source. “There is no point in tempting fate as far as Giselle is concerned.”

Bündchen has consistently been on Forbes’ rich lists as one of the world’s most successful models.

In 2014, the outlet wrote that she pocketed $47 million over 12 months through contracts with brands like H&M, Chanel and Balenciaga, as well as numerous partnership deals.

Bündchen met Valente in December 2021. They were seen on several public outings together beginning in November 2022, sparking romance rumors, which she denied at the time.

Sources told Page Six they began dating in June 2023 and in February, an insider told us that they were “deeply in love.”

The pregnancy news broke this week, and sources told Page Six that Brady found out days before it went public in People magazine.

“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” an insider close to the couple told People on Monday.

Valente owns a martial arts studio with his brothers, and they teach everyone from children — including Bündchen and Brady’s kids — to law enforcement officials. 

Our source says that while Bündchen is “thrilled,” her kids with Brady — Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11 – are “excited to welcome a new sibling.”
