Gisele Bündchen is repping for moms everywhere on the cover of i-D magazine’s “Mother Issue.”
The Brazilian supermodel, 46, lifts a barbell in lingerie for the accompanying spread shot by Collier Schorr, flexing her biceps in a vintage tee and pins reading “I Feel Good All Over” and “This Smile’s For You” elsewhere in the shoot. She throws up finger guns in an Aritzia leather jacket and beams at the camera in tiny shorts and a “Mother” tee.
Weight training is a newer addition to a wellness routine she has been building for years, alongside yoga, Pilates and jujitsu, Bündchen told editor-in-chief Steff Yotka in the interview.
“I do weights three times a week. I do Pilates once or twice a week. I do yoga two or three times a week. I work out every day because, for me, working out—I don’t see it as something I have to do. I see it as something I get to do,” she said.
Her 18-month-old son has already picked up on the habit. Back in August, Bündchen posted an Instagram shot of the toddler standing between two dumbbells on a yacht, one tiny leg raised to match his mom’s pose.
“It’s so sweet to see how little they are when they start watching and emulating what we do,” she wrote in the caption.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel welcomed her third child, a baby boy, with husband Joaquim Valente in February 2025. She also shares Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, with ex-husband Tom Brady. Bündchen married Valente in an intimate at-home ceremony in November 2025.
Family time now trumps any paycheck for the supermodel.
“I say no to 99 percent of the jobs I’m offered because, when I put it on the scale, I’m like, ‘Am I going to miss my daughter’s volleyball game? Am I going to miss going to the park with my son? Am I going to miss my son DJing?'” she told the magazine.
Bündchen slipped into a Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Envy bra ($59.95), briefs and sheer lace dress for the workout images, a wink to the label that helped make her a household name in the early 2000s.
Speaking to Yotka, Bündchen opened up about how raising her kids has reshaped the way she moves through her days.
“Kids give us this opportunity to live again, to be more present and to experience life again. To do it maybe differently than we’ve done it before,” she said.
The i-D issue, out now, marks her seventh cover for the British fashion magazine. Her first was in December 1998, when the photographer, not Bündchen, was interviewed for the accompanying story.
Bündchen has been selective about her fashion appearances of late. She graced the Summer Issue cover of W magazine in June, her first for the title in 19 years, and remains the face of Marc O’Polo.
The supermodel’s return to Victoria’s Secret styling for the shoot bridges her decades-long career from runway staple to mother of three balancing family and selective work commitments.
Bündchen continues her partnership with Marc O’Polo as her next major fashion campaign rolls out.
