Gisele Bundchen and husband Tom Brady are expecting their first child
According to a report in People magazine, the couple will welcome an addition to their family early next year.
While speculation has been buzzing for weeks about Bundchen’s growing baby bump, reps have refused to comment on the matter.
But sources told the magazine that the expectant mother is “ecstatic” at the news and that she will make “an excellent mother.”
“She’s always wanted to have kids,” the source said of the 28-year-old supermodel.
Bundchen expressed her appreciation for family earlier this year, saying it is “the base to everything” in her life.
“I think that is one of the things I’m most grateful for. I have a lot to be grateful for but I think that’s number one.”
