Gisele Bundchen had definite ideas about her baby boy Benjamin Rein, quarterback Tom Brady’s son.
“I wanted him to be called River because I wanted something always flowing, immortal,” she says in the new issue of Vogue. “My husband said, ‘There’s no way we’re going to call him River.’ But my father’s name is Reinoldo, so it’s a homage to him. And it’s like water.”
Benjamin was born at home in Boston, in warm water in a deep bathtub that overlooks the Charles River. “I wanted to experience the transformation,” says Gisele. A midwife friend of hers came in from Brazil as did her mother; her husband was there too. Gisele meditated through the birth.

And then she bounced right back into shape. “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.”
