Gisele Bündchen, 46, and her husband, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, arrived in coordinating cowboy costumes for a Miami charity gala on October 29.
Lotus House’s annual fundraiser had a “Sparkles and Costumes” Halloween theme and took place at The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood.
The 16th annual event raised $1 million, according to Miami Living. Lotus House provides shelter and support for women, youth and children experiencing homelessness.
Bündchen shared photographs from the celebration on Instagram the following day. “If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that kindness works like a seed,” she wrote.

In a statement released for the event, Bündchen praised the staff and volunteers helping women and children build brighter futures. Kloss spoke about the value of contributing time and resources and showing up for other people.
Proceeds from the evening will support work through Lotus House, the Children’s Village and the National Women’s Shelter Network. In her Instagram post, Bündchen highlighted the network’s reach, saying it connects more than 600 shelters across the country to share knowledge and resources.

Bündchen attended the Children’s Village opening on November 6, 2025, alongside Collins, Gloria Estefan and other supporters. She shared footage the next day, describing a place where children could learn and play while feeling safe and supported.
In 2023, she announced a $1 million gift for its playground and youth programming. Lotus House later credited her contribution in its account of the opening, which also recognized support from Estefan and a $5 million donation from Ken Griffin.
Located across from the Lotus Village shelter in Overtown, the Children’s Village opened with 14 nonprofit partners providing early childhood education, after-school activities, therapy, healthcare and family services.
