The birth of their baby comes two years after Tom Gisele Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente began dating and three years after she announced her divorce from Tom Brady, citing irreconcilable differences.

Some have argued that she is too old to have gotten pregnant and given birth, while others suggest she is putting her two older children through a difficult situation and is being selfish for thinking only about herself and not about her children.
