The Brazilian supermodel turned 46 on Monday and shared a birthday carousel on Instagram on Wednesday, according to Page Six.

She opened the set with a sunlit profile shot and also showed a heart-shaped cake piled with walnuts — and no icing in sight. One frame included a small cameo of her toddler son's arm.
"Thank you all for the love and birthday wishes. I feel so grateful for this new cycle that is beginning and for all the adventures that lie ahead," Bündchen wrote. "May the love and kindness you share return to each of you a thousandfold."

Bündchen and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente married in an intimate home ceremony in November 2025. Their son, whose first name they have yet to share, was born in February 2025.
She also shares Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-husband Tom Brady, who filed for divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
