Nearly 3 Years After Her Divorce From Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen Said She Feels Like She's 'Earned' This New Phase Of Her Life
Gisele Bündchen is back in her new mom era and feeling better than ever.
In February, the supermodel welcomed a new baby boy with her boyfriend of nearly two years, Joaquim Valente. She already shares two children, 15-year-old Benjamin and 12-year-old Vivian, with her ex-husband, Tom Brady, whom she divorced in October 2022 after nearly 14 years of marriage.
Gisele also counts Tom's 17-year-old son Jack, whom he shares with Bridget Moynahan, as her 'bonus' child.

Since her pregnancy made headlines in October 2024, Gisele has maintained a pretty low profile. She's yet to confirm the new baby's name, but earlier this month, she celebrated Mother's Day on Instagram by sharing the first photographs of her baby boy, along with a heartfelt caption in which she explained that she's been 'very busy living life.'
Now, Gisele has taken a moment out of her family bubble to stun on the cover of French Vogue (as you do), and in an accompanying interview, she answered a few questions about this new phase of her life, which she said is all about 'being with [her] family.'

'Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my routine,' she said in response to a question about 'independence.' '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.'
Of course, a lot has changed in Gisele's life in the last few years since her divorce from Tom — something she previously described as 'the death of [her] dream.' 'You give everything you got to achieve your dream,' she told Vanity Fair in March 2023. 'You give a hundred percent of yourself, and it's heartbreaking when it doesn't end up the way you hoped for, and worked for, but you can only do your part.'
Flash forward to today, and it sounds like she's finally happier than ever. 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin and have a clearer understanding of my priorities,' she told Vogue. 'I'm grateful for where I am. I feel like I've earned it.'
Good for you, Gisele! You can find the French Vogue cover and interview here.

All the Most Divisive Fashion Moments From 'And Just Like That'
In the first episode of And Just Like That season 3, Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie already made headlines. Not only did she seemingly rekindle with Aidan (John Corbett) after their five-year break agreement, but she made a fashion risk that left the internet scratching their heads. In one scene, Carrie is walking through Washington Square Park with her friend Seema (Sarita Choudhury) wearing a cream-colored dress from Ossie Clark and a billowing gingham hat designed by Maryam Keyhani. On the internet, viewers were quick to criticize it. 'Who in their right mind would walk around NYC wearing this hat?? (Or any other city 😆)' wrote one X user. 'On last night's season premiere of And Just Like That, Carrie wore a 'hat' that made me question reality,' wrote another user. 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Parker said in defense of the hat choice to USA Today. 'At this point, there's no pretend dilly-dallying around. We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick [King, executive producer of the show] is hospitable to the idea.' Luckily, he agreed. 'It's like, 'Hey, everybody, we're back!' he told the outlet of the look. 'I've learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, 'I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?'' To check out the divisive hat and some other divisive looks from And Just Like That over the years, scroll below!

Best of SheKnows 27 Celebrity Moms Who've Opened Up About Their Plastic Surgery 16 of the Steamiest Movie Sex Scenes With Older Women & Younger Men All the Men Marilyn Monroe Reportedly Had Relationships With Throughout Her Short Life Parker had a vision to wear this Maryam Keyhani hat and really went for it. It's camp at its finest. Also in episode 1, viewers couldn't exactly get behind the oversized ball necklace Nicole Ari Parker's character Lisa Todd Wexley wore. 'And Just Like That Season 3 is strange…Between the clown bonnet and woven string light necklace I'm lost,' wrote one X user. In season 1, Carrie left fans scratching their heads with a scene of her smoking in a pink Batsheva housedress, babushka-style headscarf, and elbow-length purple latex gloves. Luckily, it all had an explanation. In a convo with Seema, she explained that the look is to avoid any cigarette smoke or smell from coming into her apartment. 'I smoked in here one night and then everything smelled like a cigarette and I was right back there, wanting to smoke morning, noon, and while I was sleeping,' she told her friend, per Vogue. 'Now, I allow myself one a day in a walk around the block, with like three kerchiefs on my head and Playtex kitchen gloves. I just can't risk having that smell on my hair and my hands.' Carrie and Steve (David Eigenberg) shared a sweet moment together when they volunteered to paint houses in season 1. One thing that fans couldn't get behind, though? Why would Carrie go paint in these massive silver platform heels? When season 1 was filming, AJLT got backlash when fans speculated that Parker wore this Boho dress seemingly from Forever 21 in one of the scenes. As it turns out, not only was the dress not from the fast fashion brand, but the look was all carefully planned. 'The message from [show creator] Michael Patrick King was 'Put Carrie in something that she would be kind of embarrassed to wear while bumping into Natasha [Big's ex-wife] at the coffee place,'' costume designer Molly Rogers told InStyle. 'For me, that was that long summer dress, and SJ wanted to put a tiger shirt underneath it. It was very Coachella in a way; I didn't really find it to be a very Carrie outfit. That's why I thought it worked.' They also revealed the dress was vintage. 'That was something that I purchased probably about five years ago,' fellow designer Danny Santiago said. 'It had no label in it, and I think I paid $5 or $6 at a thrift shop.' While this look didn't get as much attention as any Carrie look did in the show, this look from Lisette (Katerina Tannenbaum) was certainly a choice. Together with these oversized brown boots, Lisette wore these pink hot pants, a bright blue bra and a sheer dress on top. We all know that Carrie has a flair for drama, but this white tulle skirt paired with this striped colorful shirt wasn't exactly the cohesive look viewers were looking for. In season 2, one of the show's most controversial moments was Carrie's pigeon clutch in episode 2. The bag, which is 3D-printed by JW Anderson, accessorized Carrie's gray jumpsuit. 'We brought it in, they loaned us one, and Sarah Jessica was like, 'Gimme that bag!'' Molly Rogers told Entertainment Weekly. 'She was totally into it. It's painted beautifully.' In the sixth episode of season 2, Carrie left viewers gasping when she faced a blizzard in this massive Moncler by Valentino's Pierpaolo Piccioli coat. It's probably the most dramatic look of hers to date, but it sure would insulate her from the cold! 'I, too, gasped when I saw that coat,' wrote Callie Holtermann for the New York Times. 'You're telling me she had that in her closet earlier this season when she supposedly had nothing to wear to the Met Gala? When Rihanna herself arrived at the Met in 2021 wearing a Balenciaga puffer gown with a giant train?' You know an outfit is good for the Met Gala when you need your husband to help you, right? In the Met Gala episode in season 2, Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) wore this flowy red custom Valentino dress paired with a dramatic Philip Treacy headpiece with red petals. We could barely see LTW's face, she couldn't get into a car, and her husband Herbert (Christopher Jackson) needed to help her with the train. Was all the hastle worth it?

Beckham Drama? Inside Rumors That Brooklyn and Nicola Are Feuding With the Family
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, are reportedly feuding with the rest of the Beckham family. Tensions have risen so high that Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from family patriarch David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations. Life & Style breaks down all the clues that have fueled the Beckham family drama rumors. Romeo Beckham began dating girlfriend Kim Turnbull in late 2024, despite her being Brooklyn's reported ex-girlfriend. The relationship caused a rift within the family after Brooklyn reportedly had an issue with Romeo dating Kim. On April 3, 2025, a source told TMZ that although Brooklyn didn't have lingering romantic feelings toward Kim, he didn't trust that her intentions with Romeo were pure. 'There's no ill will toward Romeo himself, Brooklyn just doesn't approve of Kim dating him,' according to the outlet. David's wife, Victoria Beckham, and kids Romeo, Cruz Beckham and Harper Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday early in March 2025. Romeo shared a group photo via Instagram of the evening on March 31, 2025, featuring Kim and Cruz's girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, in the snapshot. Romeo added fuel to the feud fire when he re-shared the photo on his Instagram Stories along with the message, 'Family is everything. Love you all.' The following month, Romeo and Cruz ignited rumors that there was a family feud when they seemingly mocked Nicola's Instagram comment to Romeo's ex-girlfriend, Mia Regan. 'So beautiful Mia,' the Transformers actress wrote under Mia's April 5, 2025, Instagram photo alongside a pink heart and sparkle emoji. Two days later, Romeo shared solo and couple photos with Kim, leading Cruz to comment, 'So beautiful Romeo,' with the same emojis that Nicola used on Mia's post. Reps for Cruz and Romeo did not immediately respond to Life & Style's request for comment. On May 3, 2025, David was showered with love at his official birthday party in London with his family, minus Brooklyn and Nicola, and fellow A-list friends. Romeo shared more photos of David's ongoing lavish birthday celebrations the following day, including family moments without Brooklyn. As fan theories about the family feud spewed online, a source told People that there were 'tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and the family," but the bad blood was 'definitely not beyond repair.' 'They love and are always there for him. They're just hurt and disappointed that he's now playing no part in family life,' the insider told the outlet. Meanwhile, a separate source told Us Weekly that Brooklyn and Nicola ask for 'special treatment,' and Victoria and David are 'over it.' So much, that the professional athlete and former Spice Girl reportedly declined their eldest son and daughter-in-law's invitation to celebrate David's birthday with him – privately. 'David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family and the family does things a certain way,' the source explained. 'But Brooklyn isn't playing it like that, and everything is a drama.' The source added, 'They just tell the whole family there's a party, 'Here's the time, here's the date.' It's not that complicated. Everyone else seems OK with it.' Chatter that Nicola didn't mesh well with Brooklyn's family started in 2022, after they got married earlier that year. That August, Nicola addressed the rumors with Variety and shared that the gossip stemmed from her decision not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding dress, and instead wore a gown by Valentino. 'I was going to, and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realized that her atelier couldn't do it, so then I had to pick another dress. She didn't say you can't wear it; I didn't say I didn't want to wear it,' Nicola told the publication. 'That's where it started, and then they ran with that.'
