Gisele Bündchen is sharing a rare glimpse of her new baby.
The Brazilian supermodel took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 23, to celebrate her 45th birthday and included some snaps of her newborn, whom she welcomed with boyfriend Joaquim Valente in February.
The sweet pics include her little one hanging out with her family and mom and baby enjoying a walk in nature. Another adorable snap shows a thoughtful gift Bündchen received for her birthday: her baby’s footprint on a piece of paper that reads, “Feliz aniversario Mamae!!!’
“Haven’t been around here much, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the warm birthday wishes,” the model captioned the post. “I’m so grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful to have spent it in nature, surrounded by love and my family.”
“Today is also my mom’s birthday. We miss her deeply, but we know she’s always with us,” Bündchen continued. “I continue to trust and welcome life with an open heart, holding gratitude for all that is still to come.”
Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend welcomed their first child together in February. She also shares two children with her ex-husband, Tom Brady: son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12.
In May, Bündchen shared the first photo of her newborn via Instagram to mark Mother’s Day. Bündchen has not yet revealed the baby’s name or gender.
In the snap, the model can be seen smiling at the camera as she holds her baby, who is rocking a “I [Heart] Mom” onesie.
“I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life. Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived,” Bündchen captioned the post. “Lately, I’ve been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.”
She added, “Today, on Mother’s Day, I especially miss my mom, but my heart is full. Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day. To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can’t describe. I see you, I honor you.”
