Gisele Bündchen penned a loving birthday tribute to her husband, Joaquim Valente, on his 39th birthday.

“Today a great man was born,” the model wrote in Portuguese via her Instagram Stories Saturday, alongside a photo of herself and the jiu-jitsu instructor posing together.

“How lucky I am — I love you so much!”

Bündchen, 46, and Valente were initially pals years before they started dating around June 2023.

They kept their romance under wraps until February 2024, when sources told Page Six that they were “deeply in love.”

At the time, the couple shied away from commenting on their romance, but they made headlines again when Bündchen flaunted her baby bump that October.

Bündchen’s growing bump was on full display as she stepped out to run errands in Miami while wearing a black wrap dress.

She gave birth to her son in February 2025, though she has yet to reveal his name.

The health guru and Valente secretly tied the knot during an intimate ceremony with family and friends that November, a source told Page Six.

“He is thrilled they finally tied the knot after having a kid together,” an insider said about Valente.

Bündchen showed off her gold band for the first time during a bike ride with her youngest son in Miami in February.

The supermodel is also a mom to Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Tom Brady.

The exes parted ways in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.

“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 wrote in a statement at the time.

Brady, 49, has since moved on with Victoria’s Secret supermodel Candice Swanepoel, 38. However, sources told Page Six last month that their relationship isn’t too “serious.”
