Gisele Bündchen is closing out the year with gratitude and reflection as she opens up about life after welcoming her newest child. 

The supermodel, 45, shared an emotional message marking the end of 2025, offering a rare glimpse into her life as a mother once again and the personal growth she has experienced in recent months.

In a heartfelt social media post, Bündchen reflected on what she described as a deeply transformative year. 

“As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full,” she wrote, alongside photos documenting her pregnancy and quiet moments with her baby boy. 

“This year brought deep lessons and profound growth. Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart.” 

She added that the experience has been filled with “sacred moments” that changed her in ways words can hardly express.

The supermodel welcomed her son in February with husband Joaquim Valente. 

While the couple has chosen to keep their baby’s first name private, a source previously confirmed that his middle name is River, continuing a meaningful tradition in Bündchen’s family. 

She is also mom to daughter Vivian Lake, 12, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.

In her post, Bündchen expressed gratitude for the quieter rhythm of life motherhood has brought. 

“Thank you, 2025,” she wrote. “I step into this new year with gratitude, love, and trust for what’s next.”

She has previously spoken about how becoming a mother again reshaped her daily routine. 

In an earlier interview, Bündchen shared that once her baby began sleeping through the night, she felt a renewed sense of balance. 

“As any new mom knows, sleep changes everything,” she said, adding that being present with her children is what matters most.

As she enters a new chapter, Bündchen’s reflections highlight a year defined by growth, grounding, and deep appreciation for family.

Miley Cyrus is opening up about the deeply personal inspiration behind her new song for Avatar: Fire and Ash, revealing how her own life experiences shaped the emotional core of the track.

The Grammy-winning singer, 33, wrote the song Dream as One for the third installment of James Cameron’s blockbuster franchise, and she says the message came directly from her own journey of loss, rebuilding, and resilience. 

Speaking about the project, Cyrus explained that the title of the film itself immediately resonated with her life story.

“In the title alone, Fire and Ash, I’ve had my own experience with rebuilding from the ground up,” she shared. 

Cyrus famously lost her Malibu home in the 2018 wildfires, an experience that deeply changed her perspective. That sense of starting over, she said, became the emotional foundation for the song.

The timing of the project also felt meaningful. 

Reflecting on the devastating wildfires that struck parts of Los Angeles in early 2025, Cyrus explained that the song naturally evolved into a message about unity and healing. 

“Lately we’ve all had this idea of being there for each other and stepping in when your people need it,” she said, adding that it’s about community, chosen family and finding strength together.

For Cyrus, that theme mirrors the heart of Avatar: Fire and Ash, which continues the story of Jake and Neytiri as they face new loss and challenges. 

She said the film’s message aligns closely with her own outlook on resilience. “The ability to rise again,” she noted, “is really what this story is about.”

Unlike her usual songwriting process, Cyrus worked differently this time.

She explained that she was able to see the film while it was still in progress, allowing her to shape the music around its emotional arc. 

“I got to feel like I was part of building it,” she said, adding that the experience helped her connect deeply with the story’s themes.

The singer also reflected on how her past has influenced her creativity, referencing the loss of her home as something that ultimately reshaped her outlook. 

She previously called that experience “the biggest blessing” of her life, saying it taught her that growth often comes from hardship.

With Avatar: Fire and Ash now in theaters, Cyrus says she’s proud to be part of a project that celebrates resilience, connection and hope, themes she believes resonate far beyond the screen.

King Charles and Princess Kate share a deeply personal battle with cancer. And now, a newly uncovered historical link shows their families were united in that fight long before either was born.

According to research uncovered by Australian historian Michael Reed and reported by The Telegraph, ancestors of the monarch and the Princess of Wales worked together nearly a century ago to advance cancer research. In 1925, King Charles’ great-uncle, the sixth Earl of Harewood, and Princess Kate’s great-great-great uncle, Sir Charles Lupton, helped establish the British Empire Cancer Campaign’s Yorkshire Council.

The discovery comes as both royals have faced cancer treatment in recent years. Kate is now in remission following chemotherapy, while the King is expected to scale back his treatment in the new year.

Reed found that Viscount Henry Lascelles served as the council’s first president, with Sir Charles Lupton acting as its vice-president. Princess Mary, King Charles’ great-aunt, later took on the role of president until her death in 1965. Their work is being marked with a centenary booklet titled “a century of saving lives,” alongside a commemorative ball at Castle Howard.

“I felt it was very poignant that although the Princess and King Charles’s ancestors were both aristocratic men, they chose to get their hands dirty doing really tough campaigning for a disease which, in 1925, perplexed most leading scientists,” Reed said.

He added, “I think this new knowledge of both their families having an historically strong connection to cancer research will add to both the King and Princess’s determination to continue fighting the disease.”

Earlier this month, the King echoed that commitment in a Stand Up to Cancer message, saying, “I know from my own experience that a cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming,” while urging the public to prioritise early screening.
