Gisele Bündchen is celebrating husband Joaquim Valente with a heartfelt Father's Day tribute.

The supermodel, 45, shared an Instagram carousel on Sunday (June 21) filled with family photographs.

One image showed the couple and their baby son standing together in front of a rainbow on a beach. Another image showed Valente, 38, and the baby together on a blue mat wearing matching jiu-jitsu uniforms.

The carousel also featured Valente with Bündchen's older children, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady, including daughter Vivian Lake, 13, hugging him around the neck and son Benjamin Rein, 16, posing back-to-back with him in a playful height comparison photo.

“Happy Father’s Day @joaquimvalente ! Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency,” Bündchen captioned her Instagram post. “You are an incredible role model. We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.”

Bündchen also included a throwback photo of her father, Valdir Bündchen, surrounded by five of his six children.

Her post also read, “And dad, thank you for your unconditional love, wisdom, and support through every stage of my life. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. [red heart emoji]”
