As for the surprise nuptials, Bündchen and Valente said “I do” in an intimate ceremony at home—and, according to sources, this “small, private non-event” was Bündchen’s dream wedding.
“Gisele is tired of all of the attention on her private life, but [she and Valente] are both so happy being together, and being new parents it was what they wanted to do,” a source told People at the time. “They are best friends with a lot in common and are so excited about everything.”
