It's been confirmed that Gisele Bündchen is expecting and "ecstatic,"! She is due early next year. No word yet on the sex of the baby.
Speculation has grown since pictures showing the supermodel in Brazil this week surfaced showing what seems to be a perceptible bump. Bündchen and New England Patriots quarterback husband Tom Brady were married twice this Spring – first in a ceremony in Los Angeles Feb. 26, then exchanging vows before friends in early April at Bündchen's Costa Rica home.
"Gisele will be an excellent mother, she's always wanted kids." Gisele says, "Family is everything. I think family is the base to everything. I think that is one of the things I’m most grateful for. I have a lot to be grateful for but I think that's definitely number one."
Another source close to the couple says, "You know Gisele and Tom are just enjoying themselves, being married and just doing their thing.... Gisele has been talking about it with friends. She says she's ready for a family."
This is their first child together; Tom has a son, John, with ex Bridget Moynahan.

Angelina Jolie Graces Harper Bazaar's July 2009 Cover
Looking beautiful gracing the cover of Harper Bazaar's July 2009 Cover, Angelina Jolie seems to have it all. She's an Oscar winning film career, a Mom to six beautiful children, and a high-profile romance with Brad Pitt. She was also recently named "The Most Powerful Celebrity in the World".
In the new cover story for Harper's Bazaar, writer Naomi Wolf explains why we're all
facinated with Angelina Jolie.
She's a lover!
People were fascinated when Jolie snagged one of the most handsome men in the world. "She took for her own pleasure the male seen as the most desired of the tribe," Wolf writes. "Brad Pitt, who is always ranked at the top of indexes of male beauty and virility."
She's a mom!
Wolf says that we're fascinated by her six children. "Jolie revealed a new, and fairly radical, vision of single motherhood that made the relationship seem tender, glamorous, and complete."
She's an activist!
Jolie's philanthropy captures headlines. "Her intense work on behalf of stricken women and children worldwide solidified her status as an unconventional role model," Wolf writes, "and the rapid adoption of additional children turned the Jolie-Pitt story into one of family devotion and global idealism."
She's a pilot!
Wolf says that Jolie's pilot's license adds to her mystique. "Flying a private plane is the classic metaphor for choosing your own direction," she writes. "Usually, that is a guy thing to do, yet there was Jolie, with her aviator glasses on, taking flying lessons so she could blow the mind of her four-year-old son."
Naomi also writes that she believes Angelina will continue to capture the public interest. "I for one will keep watching," she writes, "since Jolie's image is not just a mirror of one woman but also a looking glass for female fantasy life."
Melissa Joan Hart Loses 42 lbs.
Melissa Joan Hart graces the cover of People Magazine in a bikini and opens up about loosing 42 lbs. Melissa has two kids, 3-year-old Mason and 14-month-old Braydon, and was attacked on the Internet for not losing the baby weight immediately.
In the interview with People, Melissa says, "Everyone still thinks I'm huge. But I'm not anymore! There are enormous pressures put on you in Hollywood." But after seeing how her own mother bounced back after having 7 kids and what friend Jaime Pressly looked like after having her son, the former 'Clarissa' star jumped into action saying, "I realized I didn't have to be heavy just because I have kids."
To get back in bikini shape, Melissa worked with nutritionist Derek Johnson at New Metabolism, www.newmetabolism.com, to change her diet and hit the gym with her trainer Mark Harari at Pulse Fitness Studio. It took her 14 months of work to get back into tip top shape.
Ironically, she is planning to open up her own candy store named Sweethearts in Los Angeles, though she has promised to eat only the frozen yogurt. This issue of People Magazine is out on newsstands Friday.
