Gisele Bundchen is pregnant with her third child.
And DailyMail.com has learned exclusively what her pregnancy cravings have been as she nests at her Florida mansion with her partner Joaquim Valente.
‘She is craving a lot of the same dishes she used to eat when growing up in Brazil like grilled ribeye with chimichurri and sautéed greens,’ a source told DailyMail.com.
‘So Gisele is cooking those dishes at home with her kids. A lot of people don’t know this about Gisele, but she is a great cook, she does it with ease and her meals are incredible. She uses a lot of fresh vegetables with spices.’
Turns out she used to cook for her exes Tom Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio.
‘Tom and Leo loved it when she brought home fresh ingredients and whipped up her Brazilian dishes. It is a big part of her overall charm, that she is quite domestic in many ways. She is always the chef in her relationships. Now she is cooking for Joaquim.’

Gisele’s very own cookbook, Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, came out this year
And she is often having her favorite breakfast: banana smoothies. For lunch she loves pesto chicken lettuce wraps.
She is such a great cook she has her very own cookbook.
The literary effort, titled Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, was published in March.
Gisele explained earlier this year: ‘People are always asking me what I eat and how I stay fit. Great food is something I am passionate about, and it is vital for living a healthy lifestyle.’
She added, ‘In Nourish, I share my family’s favorite simple, nutritious, and delicious recipes and some self-care rituals that help me so much in my life especially as a busy, working mom.’
Bundchen also said: ‘There are smoothies, salads, soups, along with delicious ways to prepare vegetables, meats, and of course healthy sweets… there is something for everyone.’
Bundchen and her ex Tom share son Benjamin, and daughter Vivian.
Turns out Joaquim has given her health tips.

‘I used to do cleanses when I was run down, but I’ve found a new routine that gives me tons of energy, has overhauled my gut health, satisfies my sweet tooth, and is easier to execute: drinking a daily smoothie made with sweet fruit.
‘As I learned from the Valente Brothers, different types of food take different amounts of time and enzymes to be processed by our bodies,’ Bundchen wrote in the cookbook alongside a recipe.
‘Therefore, simplifying food combinations can help to simplify digestion.
‘So these smoothies include only three or four ingredients: one “solid” sweet fruit for bulk, the juice of one ‘liquid’ sweet fruit, and sometimes dates for sweetness. This combination blends easily without water, which keeps it nutritionally dense. I also add almonds or unflavored protein powder to make a complete meal. Since I use frozen fruit, the texture is super thick, a bit like ice cream, which my kids and I love.’

And in July she talked about her ‘favorite healthy snack.’
‘Check out my family’s favorite healthy yummy snack that also helps boosts your immune system,’ she began her caption before divulging her ‘secret ingredient’ for elderberry Jell-o.
The beauty added, ‘It is a super easy recipe made with my secret ingredient – @gaiaherbs Black Elderberry Syrup.’
Dressed in a white linen tunic, the mother-of-two — who was spotted working out with boyfriend Joaquim Valente earlier this week — walked her fans through the process step-by-step.
And she is often having her favorite breakfast: banana smoothies. For lunch she loves pesto chicken lettuce wraps. Gisele has explained on Instagram, ‘People are always asking me what I eat and how I stay fit. Great food is something I am passionate about, and it is vital for living a healthy lifestyle’
The treat is made with three simple components — 2.5 cups tart cherry juice, 4 TBSP Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup, and 4 TBSP Unflavored Gelatin.
The former Victoria’s Secret model looked typically beautiful as her wavy, dirty blonde locks fell around her face.
She announced her partnership with Gaia Herbs in September 2023, attending a launch event in New York City at the time.
In a thoughtful social media caption, she wrote, ‘The love of plants and nature has been a big part of our family for generations. My grandmother passed down that knowledge and wisdom to my mother, who introduced me to the benefits of plants starting when I was a little girl.’

She added, ‘Today, I am proud to announce my partnership with @gaiaherbs. Gaia Herbs is a brand I have used for over twenty years, whose products are well known for their purity, potency, and high quality.
‘This summer, I visited their farms and headquarters and witnessed their whole process up close.’
The note continued, ‘I was impressed by the sense of purpose in everyone I met! The dedication and intention they put in from the seed to the harvest and production were incredible.’
Gisele expressed excitement for the collaboration as she noted, ‘Somehow, I feel that I’m returning to my roots, and I am so excited to keep learning more every day about the awesome power of plants and herbs.’
