To celebrate Father's Day (Sunday, June 21), Gisele Bündchen offered her fans a rare glimpse into her family life. The Brazilian supermodel shared a series of tender photos on Instagram, taken on the beach alongside her husband, Joaquim Valente, and their young son, accompanied by a touching message.
A touching tribute to her husband
In her post, Gisele Bündchen paid a heartfelt tribute to her husband, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. "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, and we love you very much," she wrote. Gisele Bündchen also remembered her own father, thanking him for his "unconditional love and support."
A moment of connection on the beach
The photos themselves exude tenderness. In one, the couple poses on the sand, a rainbow in the background, while Gisele Bündchen holds her baby close in a blue carrier. Keen to protect her son's privacy, she has carefully concealed his face. Other images show Joaquim Valente, affectionate and tender, sharing precious moments with the child—already being introduced, in miniature, to the family's passion for jiu-jitsu.
