If you've followed the stunning style transformation of Gisele Bündchen, you'll likely know that the model and wellness advocate hardly seems to age. She's been open about her love of yoga and meditation, tenets that have also appeared in print in her 2018 book, "Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life." And she wrote about her food philosophy in her 2024 book, "Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul." All of this healthy living seems to be working for the Brazilian beauty. But she's not the only one. The same goes for her twin sister, Patricia Bündchen, who is also aging like fine wine.
If Bündchen's Instagram is anything to go by, the duo, born in July 1980, appears to be very close, and both twins are incredibly beautiful. Yes, Bündchen is another one of the celebrities with gorgeous sisters; in fact, she has five in total. But the following photos show the sweet bond she has with her twin in particular.
Patricia and Gisele Bündchen take after their beautiful mother
In July 1980, Vãnia Nonnenmacher gave birth to two of her six daughters in Horizontina, Brazil. She and husband Valdir Bündchen named the twins Gisele and Patricia. The baby girls, pictured here with their mother, had two older sisters, and she would go on to have two more daughters after the twins. Gisele has frequently shared how close she is with her family, including her mother, who passed away from cancer in 2024.
The Bündchen twins were dressed alike as children
Gisele Bündchen religiously posts Instagram tributes to her parents on their birthdays, often adding throwback pics from her childhood in Brazil. This sweet one comes from the early '80s and shows Gisele and Patricia with their dad, Valdir. Adorably, the twins are dressed in the same dresses. One fan even noted the resemblance between the former Victoria's Secret model and her father. "You [absolutely] take after your daddy in appearance," the comment read.
Gisele Bündchen's love of healthy living is infectious
If you were to ask Gisele Bündchen if you should be doing yoga every day, she'd probably say yes. She's a big believer in daily meditation, as well as exercise and movement, including yoga. We're unsure if twin sis Patricia Bündchen, affectionately known as Pati, is a meditation and yoga devotee as well, but this pose suggests she is. The supermodel posted this sweet pic of the duo in 2017 with the caption, "Happy birthday super Pati! Thank you for being my best friend since the day we were born. Love you with all of my heart!!!"
Gisele Bündchen always posts a tribute photo for her twin
To celebrate her and her twin sister's July birthday, Gisele Bündchen regularly posts an Instagram tribute to Patricia Bündchen. In 2019, she posted this pic with the caption, "Happy birthday to my other half! Today separated physically, but always connected at heart. I miss you so much. I wish you all the love and happiness in the world! I love you!" Pati reportedly lives in Brazil with her family, while her supermodel sister is based in Miami, Florida, with her three children and husband Joaquim Valente.
Like Gisele Bündchen , Pati is also a mom
In July 2023, Gisele Bündchen posted this photo to Instagram with the caption, "I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to congratulate and send good vibes on our birthday. I am so lucky I got to spend it with my twin sister and our girly girls. I feel blessed to be surrounded by so much love." Patricia Bündchen is reportedly a mother of two, while Gisele has two boys, and one girl, Vivian, who is pictured sitting across from her mother. The now-teenager was born to Bündchen and ex Tom Brady in December 2012.
Gisele Bündchen's twin works with her
Patricia Bündchen has managed twin sister Gisele Bündchen's modeling career for years. She also helps run her business interests in Brazil, including charitable causes. In July 2024, the model posted a snap of her and Pati blowing out birthday candles to celebrate their 44th birthday. Though fans have pointed out that they don't look terribly alike for twins — they are fraternal, not identical, after all — their enviable twinning beachy waves are impossible to miss in this pic.
Patricia Bündchen has praised Gisele's bravery
In 2009, Patricia Bündchen told Vanity Fair of sister Gisele Bündchen, "Her willpower made her successful." This is why she was able to thrive in the sometimes-dark side of the modeling world. Pati added that her sister has always been brave since childhood and ready to stand up for her sisters if needed. This protective bond was obvious in Gisele's July 2024 birthday carousel on Instagram, which showed one photo of them embracing and holding their heads close.
Patricia Bündchen has also dabbled in modeling
In December 2025, just weeks after Gisele Bündchen secretly married Joaquim Valente, she attended an event for Brazilian jewelry line Vivara. But she didn't have her new husband as her plus one; she brought twin sister Patricia Bündchen instead, who looked stunning in a white tank-style gown, showing off her modeling potential. Though Gisele may be the known model in the family, Pati appeared on a 2001 cover of Harper's Bazaar alongside Gisele years ago, proving that she's also gorgeous model material.
The Bündchen twins are distinctly different in a few areas
Patricia and Gisele Bündchen, pictured celebrating their 45th birthdays in 2025, are fraternal twins, meaning they don't look exactly alike. There's one area where that's been more poignant than others: their height. Gisele revealed in interviews that she is taller than her sister, and it meant she was teased as a 14-year-old. But despite their different statures, the two do share similarities, as their 45th birthday photo shows. The facial structure and noses definitely came from the same gene pool!
Despite being geographically apart, the twin sisters remain close
Although Gisele Bündchen has had a stunning post-divorce transformation after her split from Tom Brady, she has credited her family for being her rock and foundation to support her in difficult times. In January 2026, she posted a carousel of pics, including this one of her and Patricia Bündchen taking a cozy selfie. From the Luz Alliance Gala benefitting the Brazil Foundation, which the pair planned and hosted in 2023, to supporting each other through the death of their mother, their sense of sisterhood is clearly unshakeable, and this photo makes it clear.
