Gisele Bundchen shares adorable snap with her baby boy as she celebrates her 45th birthday
Gisele Bundchen posted a sweet snap with her baby boy on Wednesday. The Brazilian model, 45, shares the five-month-old with her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend Joaquim Valente. The baby boy looked adorable as he sat on Gisele's lap in a sweet photo taken outside in Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil. Gisele's son - whose name has not yet been publicly revealed - joined her as she celebrated her 45th birthday with family members. 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. The supermodel shared another photo in which she held her young son harnessed to her chest as she explored the wilderness while gazing at a picturesque waterfall. Gisele also shared a sweet snap of a symbolic birthday card given to her on behalf of her son, which read 'Happy Birthday Mom!!!' and included a signed footprint. Another photo from Gisele's nature outing showed her grasping the arm of a young girl, who appeared from behind to be her daughter Vivian, whom she shares with ex Tom Brady. 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. Gisele wrote in her caption: 'Haven't been around here much, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the warm birthday wishes. '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 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.

South Africa lifts ban on Brazilian poultry imports after bird flu contained
South Africa has lifted its import ban on live poultry and poultry products from Brazil after the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Rio Grande do Sul was officially contained. The Department of Agriculture confirmed that effective 4 July 2025, poultry trade with Brazil may resume after a bilateral meeting between veterinary authorities from both countries, where revised Veterinary Health Certificates (VHCs) were agreed upon. "The positive outcome is a direct result of the dedicated efforts of our officials. With this resolution, imports can resume, which will significantly contribute to enhancing food security for all citizens," says Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen. Brazil declared free of HPAI The department said stamping-out measures were applied at the affected breeder premises in Montenegro, followed by a 28-day waiting period and disinfection, in line with World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) protocols. Brazil declared itself free of HPAI on 18 June 2025. However, as a precautionary measure, poultry products packed between 1 May and 18 June 2025 will remain restricted from entry into South Africa. The department said it remains vigilant and will continue monitoring the situation closely. Any new developments indicating a potential spread of the outbreak could lead to a review of the decision. "This development underlines the department's commitment to science-based decision making and the importance of maintaining open, transparent and technically sound channels of communication between trading partners," Steenhuisen adds. For updates and official notices, the public is encouraged to follow the department's verified platforms.

Teen attack at Brazil school kills child, injures two more
Police officers stand guard at the entrance of the Municipal School Maria Nascimento Giacomazzi after a 16-year-old teenager entered the school, killed a child, and wounded two people in Estacao, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Photo: AFP / ANDREI NARDI / GRUPO SIDERAL DE A 16-year-old boy killed a child and injured two other people during an attack at a school in southern Brazil, authorities said. The attack - which took place at the Maria Nascimento Giacomazzi school in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul - involved two children, an eight-year-old girl and nine-year-old boy, as well as a 34-year-old teacher who tried to intervene in the assault. The male child did not survive his injuries, but the female child and teacher were in stable condition, police said. Law enforcement did not confirm the weapon used in the attack, but Estacao Mayor Geverson Zimmermann told reporters the victims suffered stab wounds. He added that the suspected attacker was known to teachers at the school and had been undergoing "psychological treatment." Zimmermann said security at the school had been reinforced recently, with fences added and increased personnel, after a recent increase in attacks at educational centers. In April 2023, four children between the ages of four and seven were murdered with an axe at a daycare center in Bluemenau, in the southern state of Santa Catarina. Two months later, two teenagers ages 16 and 17 died when a man opened fire at a school in the southern Brazilian state of Parana. The worst attack at an educational institution in Brazil took place in 2011, when 12 children died after a man opened fire at a kindergarten in Realengo, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, before he took his own life. - AFP
