‘I’ve been quiet over here’: Gisele Bundchen finally gives first glimpse of her baby

Gisele Bundchen isn’t exactly known for being an open book.

The supermodel has not surprisingly been living under the radar in Miami Beach since her high profile divorce from Tom Brady in 2022.

Even her pregnancy (dad is jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente) was kept way under wraps. A bump was spotted now and again around town, but Bundchen did her darnedest to keep paparazzi at bay.

So imagine our surprise Sunday when Bundchen showed off a picture of her newborn son for Mother’s Day. Well, sort of.

In the first picture in the Instagram carousel, the native Brazilian is smiling while holding the little peanut, his back to the camera. The baby’s onesie says “I [Heart] Mom.”

Sunday’s post — which also includes snaps of her late mother and her two kids with Brady — explains her absence from social media, and the public eye in general.

“I’ve been quiet over here but very busy living life,” said the 44-year-old’s caption. “Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren’t shared — they’re simply lived.”

Perhaps we’ll be seeing more glimpses of the “Nourish” author’s youngest, whose name was not revealed (though we hear the three month old’s middle name is River). She seems more ready to open up about this next chapter.

“Being a mother it’s been my greatest gift, a journey that humbles me, teaches me, and fills me with gratitude every single day,” continued Bundchen. “To all the mothers out there, your love shapes the world in ways words can’t describe. I see you, I honor you.”
