The 45-year-old supermodel posted a recap of her year on Instagram, highlighting her journey through motherhood and the "sacred moments" she has experienced with her baby boy since welcoming him in February with husband Joaquim Valente. Her post included photos from her pregnancy as well as snapshots with her son and her husband.
"As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full. This year brought deep lessons and profound growth. Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart," she wrote. "I'm grateful for these sacred moments that changed me in ways words can't fully hold."
She added, "Thank you, 2025. I step into this new year with gratitude, love, and trust for what's next. ❤️🙏🏼✨"
Following the announcement of her baby boy's arrival in February, a source told PEOPLE that his middle name has a meaningful nod to nature. While his first name remains private, his middle name is River. This continues Bündchen's tradition of giving her children water-themed middle names. She is also mother to daughter Vivian Lake, 12, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.
Three months after the birth, Bündchen shared insights into her transition into motherhood with Vogue France, describing how her routine has evolved. "Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm back in control of my routine," she said. "As any new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep—or lack of it—can change everything."
She added, "But once again, I feel truly grateful. Being able to be home with my kids and enjoy every moment with them is priceless."
A source confirmed Bündchen's pregnancy to PEOPLE on October 28, 2024, stating that the couple was "happy for this new chapter in their life" and looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for their family.
Bündchen and Valente recently married in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, 2025, according to marriage records reviewed by PEOPLE. The ceremony was reported as a small, private event at their home.
This year has been transformative for Bündchen as she balances family life, motherhood, and personal growth, treasuring every moment with her newest addition.
