Gisele Bündchen found love in a self-defence class. Now, she's welcomed her third child.

Congratulations are in order for Gisele Bündchen after the Brazilian supermodel welcomed her first baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente.

While details are light about the little bub and birth, TMZ reports Gisele and her newborn are healthy and happy — and that's what we want to hear.

The happy news of the couple's pregnancy was first shared in October.

"Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family," a source told PEOPLE at the time.

The 44-year-old model and business mogul was first romantically linked with the Jiu-Jitsu instructor in June 2023, eight months after announcing her separation from NFL legend Tom Brady after 13 years of marriage in October 2022.

Gisele and Joaquim's newborn will join the model's children with Brady; their son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11.

Who is Gisele Bündchen's boyfriend Joaquim Valente?

Unlike her very public marriage, the supermodel has been famously private about her relationship with Valente, who she was first spotted with on a trip to Costa Rica with her kids in 2023.

Gisele reportedly met 35-year-old Joaquim when he was her Jiu-Jitsu trainer before their relationship blossomed into something more.

In an Instagram post from February 2022, Gisele wrote about how practising self-defence at Joaquim's studio had been integral to her healing process.

"I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defence. I feel it's an important skill for all, but specially for us women," she wrote.

"Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let's go!"

Gisele started doing the training program alongside her son, and praised her future boyfriend's impact on how she viewed Jiu-Jitsu.

"Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself," she told Dust magazine in 2022. "But when I brought [her son] Ben to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realised that it was much more than self-defence."

Earlier this year, a source told PEOPLE that since the supermodel split from Brady, she had "blossomed" into a new woman.

"She is secure and happy, and so busy with her life that she doesn't have time to dwell on the negatives out there," the source said.

Another source told PEOPLE that Gisele is treating this relationship differently to her high-profile marriage. "They have been dating since June. They're taking it slow. They started out as great friends first," they said.

"She's very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other."

Almost exactly two years ago, Brady and Gisele divorced after 13 years of marriage. In the divorce settlement, they agreed to share joint custody of their children.

Gisele's exciting news might explain why she was absent from the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, despite the show's most iconic Angels (minus Gisele, obviously) returning to the stage.

In the aftermath of the divorce, the supermodel has been candid about how she hopes to forge her own path away from her sports superstar ex.

"I have my own dreams," she told Marie Claire in 2023.

"You want to show [the children] that. In life, you have to find real fulfillment, not living something that you're not."
