On Saturday, the model, mom and activist rang in her 44th birthday by jetting off to a tropical destination with her twin sister, Patricia, and soaking up the sun for a few days! In a post on Instagram,Gisele recapped the trip with a roundup of photos featuring her and her twin.
"Grateful to be celebrating one more year around the sun with my super sis. Thank you everyone for all the love and birthday wishes. Feeling blessed to be surrounded by so much love. Looking forward to what is ahead🙏❤️," the Brazilian-born supermodel captioned her post.
The first pic in the carousel sees Gisele and Patricia -- who have four other siblings, Rafaela, Graziela, Gabriela and Raquel -- smiling and embracing while sitting at a table together. Other photos show the twins on a boat looking out at an island and hugging on a beach in front of a gorgeous sunset.
The birthday celebration comes after a rocky few months for the former Victoria's Secret model. While reports widely circulated that she split from her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, she has seemingly put those rumors to bed as she was spotted packing on the PDA with the jiu-jitsu instructor in June. Just a few weeks ago, Page Six also shared photos of Gisele and Valente on vacation in Costa Rica with her children.
A more serious point of contention in her life as of late has been the aftermath of her divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady. In May, Brady -- often branded as the GOAT -- was the subject of a Netflix roast titled The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady , where nothing (or very little) was off limits.
During the live event, comedians and athletes took the stage to poke fun at Brady and crack jokes about everything from his failed marriage toGisele -- which lasted from 2009 to 2022 -- to internet speculation over his sexuality.
"Tom Brady: five-timeSuper Bowl MVP, most career wins, most career touchdowns -- you have seven rings... well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back," said comedian Nikki Glaser at one point during the roast.

"I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn't like the way that it affected my kids," said Brady, who shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with the supermodel. He is also dad to Jack, 16, with his ex, Bridget Moynahan .
Brady added, "So, it's the hardest part about the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize I wouldn't do that again because of the way it affected the people that I care about the most ... Like I said, when I signed up for that I love when people were making fun of me."

After the roast, one person close to the model shared that Gisele was still reeling from the barrage of jokes directed at her and her boyfriend.
A source told ET , "Gisele was upset and hurt by some of the jokes about her, her relationship with [boyfriend] Joaquim [Valente], and her marriage to Tom during his roast." The source added, "Her main concern is always her children and family and she wants to protect them. She found some of the jokes to be distasteful and disrespectful."
Here's hoping she and Brady have put it in the past and that her birthday marks the start of a clean slate!
