Earlier this week, on July 20, Gisele B\u00fcndchen<\/a> celebrated her 46th birthday, which she commemorated in one of the best ways she knows how\u2014by modeling<\/a> on her Instagram.<\/p>\n \u201cThank you all for the love and birthday wishes,\u201d B\u00fcndchen wrote in a new post<\/a>, where she included photos of herself smiling at the sun and sunbathing in her backyard. \u201cI feel so grateful for this new cycle that is beginning and for all the adventures that lie ahead. May the love and kindness you share return to each of you a thousandfold. \u2764\ufe0f\u2728\u201d<\/p>\n The slideshow included photos of B\u00fcndchen\u2019s heart-shaped cake, decorated with walnuts on the top, and her collection of pink-and-white balloons. However, the most notable snap was one that saw the Brazilian supermodel lying in a steamer chair in a leopard-print bikini, looking as stunning as ever, of course.<\/p>\n In a blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it move, the former Harper\u2019s Bazaar <\/em>cover star<\/a> also included a glimpse of her third child, the baby boy<\/a> whom she welcomed with husband Joaquim Valente<\/a> back in February 2025 (whose name has not yet been publicly revealed). In the second slide, the tiny toddler\u2019s hand is seen reaching for his mom\u2019s balloons, and the following picture sees one of his toys lying in the grass.<\/p>\n B\u00fcndchen first started dating<\/a> Valente in 2023, after she took classes at the jiu-jitsu academy he runs with his brothers. They welcomed their son in early 2025 and tied the knot<\/a> later that same year, in December, in an intimate ceremony held in the backyard of their home in Surfside, Florida.<\/p>\n If these photos are any indication, this new era is treating B\u00fcndchen quite well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
