Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen has reportedly given birth to her second child with husband Tom Brady, a daughter named Vivian.
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her husband Tom Brady have welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Vivian Lake, reports the Boston Globe . Bündchen confirmed that she was five months pregnant in August during an interview aired on Brazilian TV. The new arrival is a sibling for three-year-old Benjamin Rein.
Speculation that Bünchen was expecting first arose when the couple made a tactile appearance at this year's Met Ball, with Brady spotted protectively placing his hand over his wife's stomach. It was also reported that Bündchen had requested that the designer of the gown she wore to the event, Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, adapt her dress to accommodate a few extra pregnancy pounds.
It is the third child for her husband, American football player Tom Brady, who also has a five-year-old son, John, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The 32-year-old, who is the world's highest paid model, has previously said that she is keen to have a big brood. Luckily the couple have just completed work on a $20 million super-mansion in California that has more than enough space for the Brady bunch.
There's no word on whether Gisele opted for an at-home water birth as she did with her first child, although no doubt she'll reveal all the details - and her spectacular post-baby body - in an elegantly-lensed shoot and accompanying interview with Vogue in the coming months.
UPDATE: Gisele has just posted the following message and photograph on her Facebook page
"We feel so lucky to have been able to experience the miracle of birth once again and are forever grateful for the opportunity to be the parents of another little angel. Vivian Lake was born at home on December 5. She is healthy and full of life. Thank you all for your support and well wishes. We wish you and your families many blessings."

Following her first pregnancy, Bündchen appeared in a lengthy feature in the US edition of the fashion bible talking about her super-human, earth-mother birthing techniques. As well as revealing she meditated throughout instead of relying on medication, she said "It was the most amazing experience of my life, feeling him come through my body." She also claimed that it didn't hurt "in the slightest" - we're not sure we believe that one, though.
