Meet Gisele Bündchen's kids: a peek into the model's family life
I think, for me, success means that I have raised children who have the right values. You know what I mean? Because then, whenever I'm ready to leave, I know I have left something behind that is beautiful and that is an asset, versus something different.
Those are Gisele’s words expressing the joy of raising her kids. Gisele Bündchen’s kids are at the heart of her world and her greatest joy beyond the runway. She shares two children with her ex-husband, Tom Brady, and recently welcomed a third with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.

Gisele Bündchen’s kids: Her kids and motherhood journey
Gisele Bündchen’s kids play a central role in her life, far from the flash of fashion shows and red carpets. The renowned supermodel is a mom of three with her ex-husband, Tom Brady, and one with her current partner, Joaquim Valente.

- Date of birth: 8 December 2009
- Age: 15 years old (as of August 2025)
- Place of birth: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- Father: Tom Brady
Benjamin Rein Brady is Gisele Bündchen’s first biological child, born on 8 December 2009, during her marriage to NFL superstar Tom Brady. His middle name, Rein, is a tribute to Gisele’s father, Valdir Reinoldo Bündchen, reflecting her strong Brazilian roots. The model told the Los Angeles Times about naming her son:
I wanted him to be called River because I wanted something always flowing, immortal. My husband said, ‘There’s no way we’re going to call him River.’ But my father’s name is Reinoldo, so it’s a homage to him.
Benjamin was born at home in a serene water birth, a moment Gisele has described as the most powerful experience of her life. Her eldest son is known for his gentle nature, love for the outdoors, and interest in wellness, values clearly influenced by his mother.
At first, Tom Brady’s son showed little interest in following his father’s path in American football, gravitating instead toward activities like skiing, swimming, and meditation. However, his perspective shifted over time, and he now plays football as a tight end, drawing inspiration from his dad’s longtime teammate, Rob Gronkowski.
Tom Brady said about Benjamin on his SiriusXM show:
My son is going to play football this year. So I've been throwing the ball to him in the backyard. He's going to be a little beast. He's an amazing kid, and he's got a lot of talents. He's a really talented musician and artist. And then he told me this year, ‘Dad, I'm playing football.'
Gisele often praises his emotional intelligence and empathy, noting how he brings calm energy into the family.

Gisele and Tom Brady’s daughter was born on 5 December 2012. Gisele’s deep love for nature is reflected in the naming of her children, and it is no surprise that her daughter is named Lake. Vivian and Gisele share several similarities, and the two are often spotted riding horses or enjoying beach days.
Despite once breaking her arm in a riding accident, Vivian’s passion for horses remains strong. In fact, the model supported her love for the sport by buying her a horse in 2023. During an interview with People, she said:
I was taking her riding at this place, and every time I was taking her there, it became paparazzi central. I was like, 'I can't live like this. I want to be enjoying with my daughter.' This should be a fun thing that we get to do together. So I was like, this way, I can have her practice what she loves.
Vivian, whom Gisele has described as her ray of sunshine, loves animals and is always eager to try new things. The bond between mother and daughter is strong, with Gisele often sharing glimpses of their adventures and shared wellness routines on social media.

Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my routine. As any new mom knows, it’s incredible how much sleep, or lack of it, can change everything!
