Pregnant Gisele Bundchen kisses Joaquim Valente on romantic trip to ex Tom Brady's favorite vacation spot

Pregnant Gisele Bundchen was pictured kissing boyfriend Joaquim Valente on a romantic getaway to Costa Rica on Thursday, in a rare public display of affection between the couple. 

The lovebirds were seen enjoying some quality time at her and ex-husband Tom Brady’s old favorite vacation spot, where they once shared a beachside estate, complete with a pickleball court and a yoga pavilion.

Before calling it quits with Brady, 47, in late 2022 after 13 years of marriage, the exes traveled there every year after football season, and even held a second wedding ceremony in the idyllic location.

They also took a much needed break there following Brady’s devastating 2018 Super Bowl loss. 

As she celebrated Thanksgiving there with Valente, the supermodel, 44, seemed focused on making new memories with her current partner as they eagerly await the birth of their first child together.

The couple looked blissfully happy as they walked hand-in-hand along a quiet beach in Central America and took in the spectacular ocean views around them.

As she strolled barefoot down the shore, the Vogue cover girl, who is between six to seven months into her pregnancy, put her blossoming baby bump on full display in a semi-sheer white cover-up and black bikini. 

Meanwhile, Valente looked handsome in a fitted olive green shirt which showcased his muscular physique and a pair of camouflage board shorts. 

The pair were joined by Bundchen’s beloved German Shepherd, Alfie, who stuck by their side as they embraced and kissed.

The PDA scenes were not too dissimilar to when Tom took Gisele to Costa Rica in 2012 to console himself after losing at the Super Bowl that year. 

Although her and Brady’s kids, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, did not appear on the outing, their sighting comes after Page Six revealed Bundchen and Valente were spending Turkey Day in Costa Rica as Brady was stuck in Dallas to call the New York Giants–Dallas Cowboys game.

She and the Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor previously enjoyed a Costa Rica trip over the summer.

‘Gisele took the kids and headed to Costa Rica with Joaquim to spend the holiday with each other,’ the source shared.

Gisele also owns a house in Costa Rica, so it’s a comforting place for her to periodically return to.

She and Joaquim have been dating since June 2023, shortly after she and Brady divorced. 

The source added: ‘Tom is supportive and that’s the arrangement he and Gisele have agreed upon.’ 

However, Gisele and Tom will reportedly be trading off the children throughout the holiday season, so he’ll still have ‘plenty of time to spend with his children.’

The two seem to have quickly acclimated to the catwalk star’s new pregnancy, despite a report that Tom was initially ‘stunned’ to hear that she was expecting a child with Joaquim.

The legendary quarter had ‘never imagined’ that his ex might have a child with her jiu-jitsu instructor, a source told Page Six last month. 

Brady has refrained from publicly commenting on Gisele’s pregnancy, but fans on social media wondered if he was alluding to it when he posted a cryptic Instagram message around the time the news broke.

Alongside a photo of a setting sun, Brady included moody lyrics from Stevie Nicks’ Fleetwood Mac perennially popular song Landslide: ‘Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?’

He included a portion of the sky that included those lyrics, before continuing: ‘Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?’ 

Professionally, Brady has not had the easiest time with Fox this season since making his hotly anticipated debate in the broadcast booth.

He was criticized by fans on Week One for his tone and style before then shockingly saying that Josh Allen had ‘played like a spaz’ in the early days of his career.

The seven-time Super Bowl winner also appeared to breach rules that exist solely for him to toe the line between his broadcasting responsibilities and his minority ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders.

When his Raiders stake was finally approved this year, Brady was told he cannot criticize refereeing decisions amid a flurry of other rules and stipulations.

But the next weekend, Brady said live on Fox that he disagreed with the decision to eject Brian Branch from the Nov. 3 game between Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.

‘I don’t love that call at all,’ Brady said. ‘Obviously it’s a penalty but to me, that has to be serious intent in a game like this. 

Ultimately, the NFL decided not to punish Brady for the comments. 

Meanwhile, Bundchen managed to keep her pregnancy under wraps for the first five months. 

In late October, however, People confirmed that she and her current partner, who she began dating in June 2023, are expecting. 

A source told the outlet that she is ’embracing this new chapter.’

A source also told Us Weekly, at the time, that both Benjamin and Vivian ‘really like’ Joaquim and added he has been ‘living at [Bundchen’s] house in Miami for while.’

According to People, the beauty has since ‘received many positive messages and congratulations’ since going public although she initially wanted to keep her pregnancy ‘private for as long as she could.’

Bundchen ‘feels good’ and is doing ‘Pilates and other exercises that will help with birth, too.’

The source further told the outlet that Gisele has ‘always taken amazing care of herself’ and ‘eats healthy and meditates as well.’ 

She reportedly plans on welcoming her third child to the word at her $11 million Miami mansion. 

Following the pregnancy news, a source informed People, ‘Gisele’s very happy in Miami. She enjoys her life there. Everyone’s thriving,’ and added the star feels ‘very lucky’ to have Valente in her life.

‘They started out as friends, but have been seriously dating for over a year. She’s excited about the baby and feels good. She’s several months along and planning a home birth.’
