Gisele Bündchen, the renowned supermodel, is making headlines once again with her decision to have a risky home birth for her third child. Reports suggest that she is planning to deliver her baby at her $11 million Miami mansion, defying doctors’ orders.
The 44-year-old Bündchen, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, has a history of home births. She previously gave birth to her daughter Vivian, 11, and son Benjamin, 14, at home, despite medical advice against it. In her 2018 book, “My Path To A Meaningful Life,” Bündchen shared her experiences with home births and her preference for natural birthing methods.
During her first pregnancy with Benjamin, Bündchen’s doctor recommended a c-section due to potential complications. However, she was determined to follow her dream of giving birth naturally at home. With the support of a midwife named Mayra, she explored the option of water births and ultimately went ahead with her plan.
Bündchen’s then-husband, NFL legend Tom Brady, was initially hesitant about the idea of a home birth. It was only after watching several natural birth movies that he eventually agreed to Bündchen’s plan. Despite facing challenges during labor, including issues related to her height, Bündchen found both home birth experiences to be extraordinary.
Now, as she prepares for her third child with Valente, Bündchen is once again opting for a home birth. The couple is eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new addition and are focused on creating a peaceful and loving environment for their expanding family. Bündchen’s newly renovated Miami mansion provides the perfect setting for a luxurious home birth, with its swimming pool and spacious hot tub.
Bündchen and Valente’s relationship has been the subject of speculation, with rumors of them dating before her divorce from Brady in 2022. Insiders claim that Brady believed they were dating as early as 2021, leading to further scrutiny of their relationship timeline. Despite their split after 13 years of marriage, Bündchen and Brady remain focused on co-parenting their children.
As Bündchen prepares for the arrival of her third child, her decision to have a home birth once again showcases her commitment to natural birthing methods and creating a peaceful birthing environment for her growing family.
