Gisele Bündchen is turning on the heat with boyfriend Joaquim Valente.
The pregnant model, 44, was photographed on a romantic getaway to Costa Rica on Thursday alongside the jiu jitsu instructor, 35 and her German Shepard Alfie.
The pair was spotted holding hands on the beach while Bündchen rocked a two-piece bikini and short, white sheer coverup. In a second snap, Valente, who donned a green t-shirt and camouflage swim trunks, leaned in to share a kiss with his other half.
Rounding out the affectionate photos was an image of the supermodel wrapping her arms around the athlete and holding him tight.
As for where the couple were vacationing? Well, Bündchen and Valente spent quality time where she and ex-husband Tom Brady once shared a beachside estate.
Before splitting with the football star, 47, in late 2022 after 13 years of marriage, Bündchen and Brady spent time in Costa Rica each year following football season.
The exes, who share kids Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, even held their second wedding ceremony at the dreamy location.
The Brazilian native first showed off her baby bump last month, sharing a photo of herself at the Lotus House Gala — an organization that marked its 20th anniversary of being “the largest shelter for women and children in America.”
A month earlier, Bündchen was photographed wearing a black wrap dress with her bump on full display, black sunglasses and a nude bag. She wore her hair in a loose braid as she ran errands in Miami after news of her pregnancy broke.
Bündchen’s third pregnancy comes two years after she and Brady finalized their divorce in 2022.
People magazine was the first to report the news that the runway star and the martial arts teacher are expecting a baby.
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told the outlet at the time.
Bündchen and Valente met after Benjamin started taking jujitsu lessons with him at his academy. Bündchen soon followed in her son’s footsteps.
“Initially, I wasn’t even considering it for myself,” she revealed to Dust Magazine in 2022 about beginning studying jujitsu. “But when I brought [my son] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense.”
Romance rumors began to swirl that the now-parents-to-be were dating in November 2022, less than a month after her divorce, when the duo visited the Provincia de Puntarenas in Costa Rica with her kids.
The two denied that they were romantically involved, but by June 2023 they were dating, an insider told People.
“They’re taking it slow,” the source told the outlet in February. “They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.”
Another insider said of Valente, “He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.”
Meanwhile, a source told Page Six that Brady “never imagined” that Bündchen would have a baby with Valente.
“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquim but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” they said. “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least.”
