Gisele Bundchen gives rare look at baby son with boyfriend Joaquim Valente as she celebrates 45th birthday
Gisele Bündchen gave her 22.9 million Instagram followers a rare glimpse of her baby son on Wednesday. She shares the tot, who is around five months old, with her Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor–turned–boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The baby boy looked adorable as he sat on his mother's lap in a sweet photo taken outside in Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state of her home country of Brazil. She had ventured south of the border after she was recently seen making a risky move while on a stroll near her home in Florida with her son. Gisele's son — whose name has not yet been publicly revealed — joined her as she celebrated her 45th birthday with family members surrounding her. Among them was her fraternal twin sister Patricia, who beamed while posing with Gisele as they held matching birthday cakes. The sisters' birthday is on July 20, but Gisele noted in a tribute that their late mother's birthday was on July 23, the day she shared the post. Their birthday celebrations took place in the midst of a gorgeous forest, and the supermodel shared another stunning photo in which she held her young son harnessed to her chest as she explored the wilderness while gazing at a picturesque waterfall in the distance. While Gisele's son — whose middle name is reportedly 'River' — wasn't old enough to get his mother a present, he was still able to give her a sweet card after getting a bit of help. The catwalk star included a sweet card reading 'Happy Birthday Mom!!!' in Brazilian Portuguese, but it was signed with her son's cute foot print that looked as if it could have been made with burgundy-colored paint, or perhaps a jam or berry purée. Gisele shares two older children with her ex-husband Tom Brady: her son Benjamin, 15, and her daughter Vivian, 12. She also has a 17-year-old stepson Jack, whom her ex shares with his former partner, Bridget Moynahan. Another photo from Gisele's nature explorations showed her grasping the arm of a young girl, who appeared from behind to be Vivian. They stopped to admire a smaller waterfall tucked away in the trees. Gisele revealed that her boyfriend Joaquim had joined her for the family trip. He stood next to her and held their son, whose face was again covered up with a white heart, as they posed for a large family photo at an outdoor dining table on a wooden deck. Tucked in with her photos was a gorgeous black-and-white portrait of Gisele's mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, to whom she looks nearly identical. 'Haven't been around here much, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the warm birthday wishes,' Gisele wrote in her caption. 'I'm so grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful to have spent it in nature, surrounded by love and my family. 'Today is also my mom's birthday. We miss her deeply, but we know she's always with us. I continue to trust and welcome life with an open heart, holding gratitude for all that is still to come,' Gisele continued. 'Sending love to everyone ❤️.' The Brazilian model's mother died at age 75 in January 2024 from cancer. Gisele has been focused on raising her family in recent years after retiring from the runway back in 2016. In May, she revealed that her life was starting to settle down again after she welcome her son in February. 'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my routine,' she shared with Vogue France in May. 'As any new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep — or lack of it — can change everything! But once again, I feel truly grateful: being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless.' Gisele's relationship with Joachim began professional in 2021, when she and her children began taking jiu-jitsu classes at the center he runs with his brother. Then, in October 2022, she and her husband Tom announced that they were divorcing. Gisele and Joaquim courted scandal when she were pictured traveling together to Costa Rica in November 2022, just two weeks after her rapid divorce was finalized. However, she denied ever having an affair with the 35-year-old martial arts instructor during her 13-year-old marriage to the football icon.

Tammy Hembrow's friend leaves a very passive aggressive comment on her Instagram post after she commits HUGE friendship no-no
Tammy Hembrow has committed a cardinal Instagram sin. The fitness influencer, 31, posted an unflattering photo of a close friend to her 17 million followers on Wednesday. Tammy left little to the imagination as she attended the Australian Financial Review magazine's 30th anniversary celebrations in a very revealing outfit on Tuesday night. She attended the business event at the Sydney Opera House in a tiny silk crop top and matching skirt set by Arcina Ori, which she documented in a carousel of photos shared to Instagram. But not everyone was happy with the post. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Tammy's post included four glamorous shots of the influencer posing in front of the Sydney Opera House in her ab-baring ensemble. She also shared a short video taken from behind, as she walked slowly towards a set of stairs and turned for dramatic effect - drawing attention to her silk-clad assets. There were two photos of Tammy's place setting in the darkened Bennelong restaurant, and also a selfie taken with Sydney brand strategist Addison Gazal at the table. 'Yeah cheers, I look great, thanks,' Addison penned in a comment dripping with sarcasm. Meanwhile, fans flocked to the comments section to lavish Tammy with praise. 'Ab goals,' one wrote, while other comments included 'Wow' and 'Obsessed.' The $230 top she wore features a subtle V-line detail while revealing a generous amount of her taut midriff, and the $360 long skirt has a twist detail and ruched waistband. Tammy styled her long blonde locks in waves as she posed for a mirror selfie at her hotel before heading to the event. He was less than impressed with the picture she chose to share Tammy has been fighting fit following her brutal split from husband Matt Zukowski after just seven months of marriage. The influencer, who announced in June that she and Matt were getting a divorce, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a list of things that are 'helping me heal.' 'Healing is hard but here are some little things helping me lately,' she began in an essay-length caption to a video montage of her 'healing' journey post-breakup. The video shows Tammy cuddling her three children, taking in sunrises and sunsets, and in multiple clips, sobbing uncontrollably. 'Getting out of the house has been huge for me,' she said. 'When I'm going through something, I can self-isolate but getting out of the house has been helping me get out of my head. Even something as simple as going to a café. I feel like being around people has just helped so much, even if it's strangers.' 'Moving my body - doesn't need much of an explanation. Instant boost of endorphins. Also doing something that's "selfish" and just for you. It can be so hard to even get yourself up and moving but you will feel better for it,' she continued. Tammy also listed 'spending time with my kids/family,' 'music,' 'watching the sunrise/sunset,' and going to therapy. 'I've always hated therapy,' she shared. 'I find it uncomfortable and confronting and never wanted to do it. But I promise you it's worth it.' The social media star said she's working on 'letting myself feel without judgement.' 'If I'm feeling sad or angry or upset, I acknowledge and feel it. If I want to cry, I cry. 'The only way past it is through it and some days you're going to feel better than others. For a while I was trying to shove down all my emotions and be "strong" and I honestly feel like this was one of the biggest things stopping me from even starting to heal,' she concluded. It comes after Tammy recently revealed she 'didn't recognise herself' during her marriage to Love Island star Matt, 29. The influencer revealed that she has toned up her body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23.
