Gisele Bündchen’s unique pregnancy cravings revealed ahead of baby with Joaquim Valente

She knows how to “Nourish” herself.

Gisele Bündchen is reportedly craving cuisine from her home country while expecting a baby with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.

“She is craving a lot of the same dishes she used to eat when growing up in Brazil like grilled ribeye with chimichurri and sautéed greens,” a source told the Daily Mail Thursday.

“So Gisele is cooking those dishes at home with her kids,” the insider added.

Bündchen, 44, has been enjoying banana smoothies for breakfast and pesto chicken lettuce wraps for lunch, according to the report.

The source said the pregnant supermodel is a “great cook” and prepares “incredible” meals “with ease.”

“She uses a lot of fresh vegetables with spices,” the insider shared.

Bündchen frequently made delicious dishes for her ex-husband, Tom Brady, as well as her ex-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio.

“Tom and Leo loved it when she brought home fresh ingredients and whipped up her Brazilian dishes,” the source told the outlet. “It is a big part of her overall charm, that she is quite domestic in many ways.”

The insider explained that the cookbook author is “always the chef in her relationships,” so “now she is cooking for Joaquim.”

The news of Bündchen’s pregnancy broke in late October, two years after she divorced Brady.

“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life, and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told People at the time.

Another insider told TMZ that Bündchen was about five to six months along in her pregnancy, meaning her baby is expected to arrive in early 2025.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who debuted her baby bump last week, is reportedly waiting until her little one’s birth to find out the sex.

She is planning on having a home birth, with a source telling People that she is “excited.”

Bündchen started dating the jiu-jitsu instructor in June 2023, though they first sparked romance rumors in November 2022.

She and Brady were married for 13 years and share two kids: son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11. She was also a stepmom to Brady’s son Jack, 17, whom the former NFL quarterback, 47, co-parents with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

Sources told TMZ that Bündchen had “informed” Brady and their children that she was pregnant with Valente’s child “before the news broke.”

However, an insider told Page Six exclusively that the retired athlete “never imagined” his ex-wife would start a family with her new beau.

“It just wasn’t something that was on his radar,” our source said. “So when Gisele broke the news to him, he was stunned, to say the least.”

Brady, for his part, is not dating at the moment and “is super focused on his kids and work,” Page Six reported Tuesday.
