The news was confirmed by People, with a source close to Bündchen sharing that the couple is excited for this new chapter in their lives and is looking forward to creating a loving environment for their family.
Bündchen and Valente first met when she started taking private jiu-jitsu classes with him several years ago. Their friendship eventually blossomed into a romantic relationship in June 2023, following Bündchen’s divorce from Tom Brady.
