Gisele Bündchen's First Red Carpet Appearance Post-Baby
Gisele Bündchen made a notable return to the red carpet in Doha, Qatar, marking her first public appearances since the birth of her third child with partner Joaquim Valente. On November 22, 2025, she attended the Fashion Trust Arabia Awards, donning a striking silver floral gown from Valentino's Spring 2026 collection. The gown featured bold shoulders and a thigh-high slit, complemented by gold Jimmy Choo heels and a Valentino purse. Two days later, she graced the Franca Fund Gala, wearing a Chanel black dress with sheer sleeves, showcasing her fashion prowess and signaling her return to the spotlight after a nine-month hiatus from public events.
Background on Gisele's Family Life
Bündchen welcomed her baby boy in February 2025, whose first name remains undisclosed, while his middle name is River. This child is her first with Joaquim Valente, a Costa Rican jiu-jitsu instructor, with whom she began dating in June 2023 after her divorce from NFL star Tom Brady in 2022. Bündchen has two older children, Benjamin Rein, 15, and Vivian Lake, 12, from her previous marriage to Brady. The couple's divorce was amicable, with both maintaining a supportive relationship for their children.
New Real Estate Ventures
In addition to her return to modeling, Bündchen has expanded her real estate portfolio in Miami. She recently purchased a $14.5 million mansion in Surfside, adjacent to her existing home, effectively creating a private family compound. This new property features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and luxurious amenities, aligning with her lifestyle as a supermodel and mother. The move also brings her closer to Valente, who has been actively involved in her family life.

She has shared insights into her life post-baby, emphasizing the joys and challenges of motherhood, particularly the adjustment to a newborn's sleep schedule.
Criticism & Opposition
Despite her successful return to the public eye, some critics have noted the challenges of balancing a high-profile career with family life.
