Gisele Bündchen shared a heartfelt birthday message for her husband, Joaquim Valente, as he turned 39.
“Today, a great man was born,” the model wrote in Portuguese on her Instagram Stories Saturday, posting a photo of herself with the jiu-jitsu instructor.
“How lucky I am — I love you so much!”
Bündchen, 46, and Valente were friends for years before their relationship reportedly turned romantic around June 2023.
The pair kept their romance private until February 2024, when sources told Page Six they were “deeply in love.”
At the time, neither Bündchen nor Valente publicly addressed their relationship. They made headlines again in October, when the model was photographed showing off her growing baby bump.
Bündchen’s pregnancy was clearly visible as she ran errands in Miami wearing a black wrap dress.
She welcomed her son in February 2025 but has not publicly shared his name.

That November, Bündchen and Valente reportedly married in secret during an intimate ceremony attended by family and friends, according to a source who spoke with Page Six.
“He is thrilled they finally tied the knot after having a kid together,” the insider said of Valente.
Bündchen first displayed her gold wedding band in February while riding a bike with her youngest son in Miami.
The supermodel is also the mother of Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, whom she shares with her former husband, Tom Brady.
Bündchen and Brady ended their marriage in October 2022 after 13 years together.
“We have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always,” Bündchen said in a statement at the time.
Brady, 49, has since been linked to Victoria’s Secret supermodel Candice Swanepoel, 38. However, sources told Page Six last month that the relationship is not yet too “serious.”
