Gisele Bundchen’s Miami Mom Era: Bike Rides, Baby, New Life

The Moment

Gisele Bundchen is in her Miami mom era, and apparently, it comes with a front-row bike seat and a tiny beige co-pilot.

Over the weekend, the 45-year-old supermodel was photographed riding a bike in Miami with her 1-year-old son strapped into a child seat mounted in front of her. Both were dressed in coordinated neutrals: she wore a white cap, tank top, leggings, and sneakers, while her baby boy matched in a white tee and pants, bare feet dangling over the edge of the seat.

The little one did have one important accessory: a black helmet, which Gisele made sure was on as they cruised through the sun. This isn’t a one-off, either. The pair has been spotted biking around Miami more than once this month, turning the city’s paths into their own low-key runway.

The baby’s name, though? Still a mystery. Gisele has not publicly shared it, even as she quietly builds a new family life with her husband, jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente, whom she reportedly married in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends in November 2025 after more than a year of dating.

Photos from the latest outing show the couple taking turns on bikes with their son, looking more like any sporty parents on a weekend ride than a global supermodel and the guy who accidentally became tabloid-famous by teaching her martial arts.

The Take

I’m going to say what we’re all thinking: this is not just a bike ride. This is a soft-focus rebrand.

For years, Gisele’s public life was tied to the NFL schedule, luxury red carpets, and being one half of an empire with Tom Brady. Now she’s giving us something different: sun, leggings, and a baby whose name she’s keeping tighter than a Victoria’s Secret corset.

Honestly, I respect it. She’s letting the cameras see the broad strokes – yes, there is a new husband, yes, there is a new baby, yes, everyone is alive, well, and wearing coordinated athleisure – while still drawing a line around what stays private. In a world where some people give their kids Instagram handles before their first tooth, refusing to share a name almost feels radical.

There’s also the timing. Gisele finalized her divorce from Brady back in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. He has since spoken about how his final season in the NFL was emotionally brutal, saying in one interview that he was dealing with a “personal family issue” and that it took a lot out of him. She, meanwhile, seems to be quietly building something calmer: biking, blended family moments, Brazilian-mom energy turned all the way up.

If the Brady years were about being football royalty, this chapter is feeling more like a chic, healed Pilates instructor who just wants to make school pickup on time. The bike seat is the new throne – and she looks a lot happier in it.

There is a bittersweet edge, of course. Every paparazzi bike shot is also a reminder that even your Saturday workout with your baby is a public event when you’re Gisele Bundchen. She’s still a commodity, even when she’s just trying to get some cardio in. But compared to the high-drama coverage around the split, these pictures read more like a quiet answer to the question: So how’s she really doing?

Pretty well, if the sun-drenched Miami streets are any indication.

Receipts

Confirmed:

• Gisele Bundchen, 45, was photographed in Miami riding a bike with her 1-year-old son in a front-mounted child seat, both wearing neutral-toned outfits and the baby in a protective helmet, according to a February 22, 2026, celebrity photo set credited to MiamiPIXX/VAEM via BACKGRID.
• She shares two older children – Benjamin and Vivian – with ex-husband Tom Brady, who both have acknowledged publicly in interviews and social media posts prior to 2024.
• Bundchen and Brady finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, according to Florida court records and public statements they each released at the time.
• Brady has said his final NFL season was difficult because of family issues, describing it as “a challenge” that took a lot out of him in an interview with MLFootball, where he also spoke about wanting to spend more time at his kids’ games.
• Bundchen has shared images on her own Instagram showing her baby in a tiny gi (martial arts uniform) with Joaquim Valente, and group shots of her older kids hugging their little brother.

Unverified / Reported:

• A recent report says Bundchen secretly married jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente in November 2025 in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends, after more than a year of dating, citing unnamed sources.
• The same report claims Valente is “thrilled” they finally tied the knot after having a child together – again, attributed to an unnamed source, not an on-the-record quote from either Gisele or Joaquim.
• The baby’s name has not been made public; any names floating around online are speculation unless or until Gisele or Joaquim shares it themselves.

Backstory (For Casual Readers)

If you dipped out of celebrity news after “Deflategate,” here’s the short version. Gisele Bundchen – Brazilian supermodel, former Victoria’s Secret Angel, environmental activist, and wellness author – married NFL star Tom Brady in 2009. They became one of pop culture’s biggest power couples, had two children together, and built a life that bounced between Boston, New York, and Florida as his career moved teams. In early 2022, Brady briefly retired from football, then un-retired and returned to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a move many outsiders linked to a strain in the marriage. By October 2022, the pair had finalized their divorce. Since then, Gisele has leaned harder into her own projects, co-parenting, and a more low-key life in Miami – which is where her friendship (and later romance) with her longtime jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente came into full view.

What’s Next

So, where does this Miami bike chapter go from here?

On the personal front, all signs point to Gisele keeping it slow, steady, and private. She’s already shown she’s not in a rush to roll out her new family like a product launch – no formal baby-name reveal, no glossy “meet our son” cover, just the occasional glimpse of tiny toes and training mats on Instagram.

If and when she does talk more openly, it will probably be in a controlled setting: a future sit-down interview, a book, or one of those long, earnest captions she’s known for. (Remember the line, “May you find the courage to honor your heart’s calling”? That’s pure Gisele – part life coach, part diary entry.)

For Brady, the story is different but related. He has already retired a second time, has publicly said he wants to be at his kids’ games, and is working to define himself beyond the field. Watching how these two navigate co-parenting, new relationships, and blended holidays is going to be its own ongoing saga – hopefully a quieter one than the divorce.

In the meantime, expect more sightings like this: bikes, parks, maybe a farmers’ market or two. Pictures that say, very simply, “Life moved on, and I did too.” The fair question isn’t whether Gisele is okay anymore; it’s how much of her okay she’s willing to share.

What do you make of Gisele’s new low-key Miami chapter – genuine reset, smart rebrand, or a little of both?
