This week brought an exciting revelation: Gisele Bündchen is expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
After weeks of speculation, the supermodel confirmed the news, having expertly kept her pregnancy under wraps.
Clever Concealment Techniques
At 44, Bündchen is already a mom to two children—14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian—whom she shares with her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady.
However, this will be Valente’s first experience as a father.
To maintain her privacy during this special time, Bündchen employed several clever strategies to hide her growing baby bump from prying eyes.
Using Props to Hide the Bump
Known for her stunning physique, Bündchen often dons form-fitting activewear during errands.
However, she cleverly used props to obscure her belly.
On October 11, she held a large water bottle strategically in front of her stomach, aiming to keep her pregnancy a secret.
The very next day, she was spotted leaving a yoga class in Miami, draped in an oversized sweater while clutching a large handbag across her midsection.
This tactic of using props continued on October 23, making it challenging for anyone to notice any changes in her appearance.
Smart Camera Angles
In addition to her choice of clothing, Bündchen also took advantage of camera angles.
In a sponsored Instagram video promoting a herbal supplement earlier this month, she ensured the camera focused just below her chest.
This strategic framing cleverly masked her pregnancy, leaving followers unaware of her condition.
Skipping the Victoria’s Secret Show
Bündchen was a fixture at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show for many years, but fans noticed her absence from the revamped 2024 show on October 15.
While the official reason cited was her decision to step away from runway modeling, insiders suggested that her growing baby bump played a significant role in her choice to skip the event.
Thoughtful Social Media Strategy
Bündchen has been deliberate in her social media presence, primarily posting throwback images and professional photoshoots that could have been taken at any time.
Recent posts included nostalgic snapshots from her modeling campaigns, ensuring her followers remained unaware of her pregnancy.
In early October, she shared pictures from her Colcci Jeans campaign featuring her in a bikini, but the timing of the shoot remains unclear.
Another series showed her in a Zara photoshoot, with her bump artfully concealed by oversized jackets or baggy trousers.
A New Chapter Together
Dating Valente since June 2023, Bündchen’s pregnancy marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both of them.
A source close to the couple shared that they are thrilled about this journey and are eager to create a peaceful and loving environment for their growing family.
Valente, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, runs a jiu-jitsu studio in Miami with his brothers.
The couple met in December 2021 when Bündchen sought training for her son and decided to join in as well.
Despite rumors in July that their relationship faced challenges due to the scrutiny following Brady’s Netflix roast, they later confirmed their romance was still going strong.
An insider revealed that Valente found the spotlight overwhelming, as he’s not accustomed to such attention.
Anticipation for the Future
With the couple looking forward to welcoming their first child together, there’s plenty of excitement for what lies ahead.
As they embark on this journey, fans are eager to see how they navigate parenthood while building a life together.
