Gisele Bündchen Makes First Major Appearance Since Pregnancy

Gisele Bündchen and her baby bump are booked and busy.

Two weeks after news broke that the Victoria's Secret model was pregnant with her and boyfriend Joaquim Valente's first baby, she stepped out for a charity event for the Lotus House women's shelter Nov. 9 in Miami.

"It was an honor to attend the Lotus House Gala celebrating their 20th anniversary as the largest shelter for women and children in America," Gisele wrote on Instagram Nov. 13. "With their latest achievement—uniting over 300 women's shelters nationwide through the National Women's Shelter Network—they're taking a bold step toward eradicating homelessness."

The 44-year-old, who donned a black gown that hugged her bump, shared a series of snaps from the evening, including a glimpse of her alongside the organization's executives. In others, she highlights moments at the women's shelter, like serving food and posing alongside volunteers with a shovel in hand.

Gisele's recent public engagement comes weeks after showing off her latest pregnancy. Two days after the news broke, she was seen running errands in Miami Oct. 30 with her bump on full display.

Although this is her first baby with Joaquim, whom she first sparked romance rumors with in November 2022 before confirming their relationship last June, she already knows what it takes to be a mom. After all, she shares kids Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with ex-husband Tom Brady and is also stepmom to the former quarterback’s son Jack, 16, with ex Bridget Moynahan.

In fact, she revealed that being a step-parent was what prepared her for the wonders of parenthood.

"I got to experience how it feels to be a mom before I was even a mom—to be a bonus mom," she explained on ABC News in March, "So, I got to experience how my heart could feel that love and just expand in ways I never thought were possible."

Despite navigating the heartbreak of her divorce from Tom in 2022 after 13 years of marriage, she is looking forward to her future.

"I wouldn't change anything in my life," she explained. "I had incredible experiences. I learned so much. I have my children, who are the biggest blessings in my life, and now I get to create a new season—a new chapter in my life, and I get to learn new things. I get to walk my path in a different way."

And Joaquim is walking alongside Gisele now. Since her split, she praised the jiu-jitsu trainer and his brothers Pedro and Gui for their support, although she remained mum on the details of their dynamic.

"I'm so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially," she told Vanity Fair in March. "He's a person that I admire and that I trust. It's so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy."
