Gisele Bündchen and Shakira have found success in their careers. The model and the singer have some things in common, as they both prioritize spending quality time with their families and have decided to make Miami their home. The pair are going through different life chapters, with Shakira starting her long-awaited tour and Gisele recently welcoming her new baby with her romantic partner Joaquim Valente.

While their life stages are very different, the two stars are celebrating these milestones with lavish purchases. Gisele and Joaquim celebrated the arrival of their baby boy, River, by purchasing a new yacht. The pair are the new owners of a yacht, the new Schaefer V44, which is priced at around $826,000 to $1,233,000, depending on the model year.

The official account for the yacht company shared photos of the boat during the delivery day, and Joaquim even posed for a photo. "Congratulations to Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente on welcoming their gorgeous new Schaefer V44," the company wrote on social media,  adding, "just in time to celebrate the arrival of their newborn! May this stunning yacht be the perfect setting for making treasured new memories!"

“Shakira comes to a lot of the games,” one mom said to the publication. “She dresses down and totally blends in. You wouldn’t know it’s even her.” Both Shakira and Gisele are known for spending quality time with their kids.
