Gisele Bündchen had a sweet birthday surprise for husband Joaquim Valente – and her message made it clear she’s still very much in the honeymoon phase.
The supermodel, 46, marked Valente’s 39th birthday on Saturday, November 7, by sharing a cozy photo of the pair on Instagram Stories.
Dressed in a mustard-yellow mesh halter top, Bündchen snuggled up to her husband, who wore a green button-up shirt.

“Today a great man was born, @joaquimvalente,” Bündchen wrote over the picture, as translated from Portuguese. “How lucky I am. I love you so much!”
The couple married in an intimate ceremony in December 2025, months after welcoming their first child together in February that year. Bündchen is also mum to Vivian, 13, and Benjamin, 16, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.
Their marriage appears to have brought a new sense of happiness to the model.
A source told People magazine in March that Bündchen was “really happy being married,” adding that the relationship had made their everyday life feel more meaningful.
“They’ll joke about it and say, ‘Now we’ve been married for two months, now three months,’ ” the source said.
Bündchen has also spoken openly about becoming a mother again at 44, describing the experience as a “gift.”
“Having a baby at this moment of my life is such a gift, because I’m in a different place,” she told i-D 377 in September. “I don’t have anything to prove. I don’t feel like I really, quite frankly, care.”
