Gisele Bündchen is excited about welcoming her third child and her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, according to a People source. The insider told the outlet that the supermodel, 44, feels good about the pregnancy and she is several months along. Bündchen, per the tipster, has not yet shared the baby’s gender because she is planning on not finding it out herself until she has her baby in her arms. She is also reportedly planning to welcome her baby at home.

“Gisele’s very happy in Miami,” the source told People. “She enjoys her life there. Everyone’s thriving.”

Bündchen feels “very lucky” to have crossed paths with Valente, 37, a Jiu-Jitsu instructor, the source added. Per the insider, the pair started out as friends but have been seriously dating for over a year.

“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their lives, and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source previously told People.
