Gisele Bündchen went all out for her recent family vacation in Brazil. Last week, the supermodel celebrated her 44th birthday surrounded by loved ones in her homeland, and the festivities are still going strong.
On Sunday, July 28, she took to Instagram to showcase some memorable moments from their trip to the Lençóis Maranhenses national park. While Gisele didn’t specify who joined her, her daughter Vivian seemed to be among the group, along with some friends and family.
From horseback riding to swimming and ATV adventures, the family made the most of the activities this stunning natural paradise offers. In her post, Gisele expressed her love and pride for Brazil in both Portuguese and English, saying, “Sempre sonhei em visitar os Lençóis. Que lindo que é o nosso Brasil!❤️ I’ve always dreamed of visiting Lençóis Maranhenses. Brazil is so beautiful!”
It’s been a challenging couple of years for Bündchen since her split from NFL star Tom Brady, with whom she shares two children, Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11. Brady is also the father of a 16-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Despite the challenges, Gisele seems to be thriving in Brazil. Her Instagram features a stunning shot of her in a swimsuit by one of the lagoons, a warm moment with a family member, and a playful scene with kids splashing in the water. They even had the chance to catch breathtaking views of the coastline and dunes from a helicopter!
Known globally, Gisele hasn’t forgotten her roots; she’s committed to philanthropy and activism aimed at improving the lives of people and the environment in Brazil. Her Instagram bio links to a donation page for a fund created in partnership with The Brazil Foundation, which supports families in need with hygiene kits, food, and financial aid. Her trip to Lençóis Maranhenses reflects her excitement for sharing Brazil’s beauty and the joy she finds with her family.
