Gisele Bündchen has shared the first forward-facing photo of her one-year-old son during a family vacation in Tahiti, offering a rare look at her blended family in action. The images, posted to Instagram in July, show the 45-year-old supermodel alongside her husband Joaquim Valente and her three children — including teenagers Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. AOL reported the milestone as a significant moment for the typically private family.
The Tahiti trip comes months after Hello Magazine and other outlets confirmed that Bündchen and Valente secretly wed in a private Florida ceremony in December 2025, roughly two years after they began dating. The couple welcomed their youngest child in February 2025. His first name has not been made public, though reports say his middle name is River.
First Face-Forward Photo of Baby Valente Breaks Cover
Since the baby's birth in February 2025, Bündchen had kept his face out of public view. The Tahiti post changed that. According to AOL, the July Instagram photos mark the first time Bündchen shared a forward-facing image of her son. One shot shows her holding his hand. The child's first name remains private. Reports only confirm that his middle name is River and his last name is Valente.
Head Topics noted the family has kept a low profile since the baby's arrival. The Tahiti photos stood out precisely because they offered something fans had not seen before — a clear look at the youngest member of the Bündchen-Valente family.
Tahiti Activities Show a Close, Blended Family Unit
The vacation photos captured a full range of family moments. The group went on boat trips, cycled together, watched stingrays, danced on the beach, and gazed at stars. According to Hello Magazine, Bündchen wore a small white bikini and a wide-brimmed woven hat throughout the trip. The images paint a picture of a relaxed, tight-knit family enjoying time together.
Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13 — Bündchen's children with former NFL quarterback Tom Brady — appeared alongside baby Valente in several shots. AOL described the scenes as showing a warm bond between the siblings, despite the significant age gap between the older kids and their one-year-old brother.
How Bündchen and Valente Went From Gym to Altar
Bündchen and Valente met when she began training at his Miami jiu-jitsu academy. The two were first linked romantically in early 2023, about a year after her split from Tom Brady. Head Topics UK reported that the couple married in a private Florida ceremony in December 2025 after roughly two years of dating. No public announcement was made at the time.
Their baby was born just two months after the wedding, in February 2025. The Tahiti trip is one of the first extended looks the public has gotten at their life as a married couple with a growing family. Bündchen has said little publicly about the relationship, letting the Instagram photos speak for themselves.
Bündchen's Personal Life Has Shifted Sharply Since Brady Split
Bündchen and Brady finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Since then, her life has changed quickly. She found a new partner, had a third child at 44, and married again — all within about three years. Hello Magazine noted that the Tahiti trip reflects how settled her new chapter appears to be.
Brady, meanwhile, has remained in the public eye through his sports media work. But these Tahiti photos shift the spotlight fully onto Bündchen's present — a blended family of five, a new husband, and a life that looks nothing like the one she had just a few years ago.
