Gisele Bündchen marked Father’s Day with a heartfelt tribute to her husband, Joaquim Valente, and her late father — but one notable name was absent from the celebration.
The supermodel shared a series of family photos on Instagram honoring the important fathers in her life, praising Valente for the example he sets for their family.
“Happy Father’s Day @joaquimvalente!” Gisele wrote. “Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody — love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency.”
She continued by calling Valente “an incredible role model” and added, “We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.”
The post also included a touching tribute to her father, Valdir Bündchen.
“Thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life,” she wrote.
Gisele concluded her message by wishing all fathers a happy Father’s Day.
The carousel featured several intimate family moments, including photos of Valente spending time with the couple’s young son, whom they welcomed in February 2025. Other images showed the martial arts instructor bonding with Gisele’s older children, Benjamin and Vivian.

One particularly sweet photo captured the family standing together on a beach beneath a rainbow, while another showed Valente relaxing on the floor as their toddler climbed over him.
While the tribute focused on Valente and Gisele’s father, fans quickly noticed that her ex-husband, NFL legend Tom Brady, was not mentioned.
The omission stood out because Brady included Gisele in his Mother’s Day tribute just last month. The retired quarterback shared a family photo featuring Gisele alongside his former partner Bridget Moynahan, thanking the mothers in his life.
Despite their 2022 divorce after 13 years of marriage, Gisele and Brady have generally maintained a respectful co-parenting relationship while raising their two children together.
Since their split, Gisele has moved forward with Valente. The couple welcomed their first child earlier this year before reportedly tying the knot in a private ceremony away from the spotlight.
Although Gisele’s Father’s Day message centered on her current family chapter, the post offered a rare glimpse into the blended family dynamic she and Valente have built since becoming parents together.
