Gisele Bündchen Honors “Great Man” Joaquim Valente in Birthday Tribute

“I feel so grateful to be part of the Lotus House family and to witness all the love and care that [goes] into changing so many lives,” Bündchen wrote on Instagram following the outing. “I’m so honored to be part of this journey alongside the incredible @lotushouseshelter team, all the volunteers, and everyone who gives their time, love, and support in whatever way they can.”

In addition to sharing pics alongside fellow award honoree Karlie Kloss, the 45-year-old—dressed in a button-down shirt, denim jeans and a sun hat—also posted a group photo with Valente.

And it’s clear that the athlete—donning blue jeans, a gray button-down shirt and a brown vest—couldn’t have been happier to be his wife’s cheerleader as he leaned in close to Bündchen while giving the camera a bright smile.

But he doesn’t just show up for Bündchen when it counts. As the Lessons author emphasized on Father’s Day this past June, he also shows up as the best dad. 

“Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency,” Bündchen wrote in a June 21 Instagram carousel. “You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.”
