Gisele Bündchen marked Father's Day with a heartfelt tribute to husband Joaquim Valente, sharing a rare glimpse into their family life with a collection of sweet personal photos.

The supermodel, 45, took to Instagram on Sunday to celebrate the jiu-jitsu instructor, who became a father earlier this year when the couple welcomed their first child together.

"Happy Father's Day @joaquimvalente!" Gisele wrote.

"Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency.

"You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much."

Alongside the touching message, Gisele shared a carousel of family photographs showing Joaquim, 38, spending time with their baby son, whose name the couple has not yet publicly revealed.

The post also featured several heartwarming moments with Gisele's two older children, twins Benjamin and Vivian, both 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.

One particularly sweet image showed Vivian wrapping her arms around Joaquim's neck as she hugged him while he sat in a chair. Another captured Benjamin standing back-to-back with his stepfather as they compared their heights.

The model also paid tribute to her own father, Valdir Bündchen, thanking him for his unwavering support throughout her life.

"Thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life," she wrote before extending Father's Day wishes to dads everywhere.

The family-focused post comes just weeks after Tom Brady honoured Gisele on Mother's Day.

The former NFL quarterback, 48, shared several throwback family photographs, including one of Gisele with their children Benjamin and Vivian, as well as Brady's eldest son Jack, whom he shares with former partner Bridget Moynahan.

"Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers in this world," Tom wrote at the time. Gisele and Tom were married for 13 years before announcing their divorce in October 2022.

Shortly after the split, Gisele was linked to Joaquim, with the pair initially keeping their relationship largely out of the spotlight. Their romance steadily blossomed and in December 2025, reports emerged that the couple had quietly tied the knot the previous month.

Since welcoming their baby son in January, the couple have remained fiercely protective of their private life, only occasionally offering fans small glimpses of their growing family.
