Gisele Bundchen's baby Benjamin follows in the footsteps of his mum with his first magazine cover

Baby love: Gisele Bundchen gazes adoringly at her two-month-old son Benjamin on the front cover of Brazilian magazine Quem


As the world's highest paid supermodel, Gisele Bundchen has graced magazine covers all over the globe.

So it is only fitting that her newborn son Benjamin has already landed his first cover shoot at the tender age of nine-weeks-old.

The baby boy was pictured for the first time on the front cover of Brazilian magazine Quem.

The photo taken of Bundchen gazing adoringly at her son on a snowy day in Boston was taken on January 27.

Little Benjamin is pictured wrapped in a cosy blue snowsuit and matching blue hat.

It was taken shortly after Bundchen, 29, returned to work, just six weeks after giving birth.

Last week, Bundchen boasted she didn't need any painkillers and Benjamin's birth 'didn't hurt in the slightest'.

The Brazilian beauty delivered Benjamin in a water birth in the Boston townhouse she shares with husband Tom Brady on December 8.

Speaking to Brazilian TV channel Fantasticoshe, she said: 'It didn't hurt in the slightest. The whole time, my head was so focused - every contraction, the baby is closer, the baby is closer. So, it wasn't like, "Oh, what pain." It was, "With every contraction, he is getting closer to me."'

As well as making new mothers jealous with her painfree labour, Bundchen also said she didn't need to buy maternity clothes while pregnant because her baby bump was so small.

She said: 'I kept myself in good shape throughout the pregnancy, feeding on a healthy diet, meditating and doing exercises such as yoga and kung-fu.

'I gained a little, but I kept using almost the same clothes, with minor adjustments to close in the belly.'

While Bundchen was ready to model again for Brazilian clothing firm Colcci, she said she didn't do anything to loose weight for the shoot, the pounds just fell away naturally.

She explained: 'I have not had time to return to exercise. In the first months it's all about the baby. But little by little I recovered the form.

'It helps that I have not gained much, have had natural childbirth and breastfeeding.'

As well as Benjamin, Bundchen is also stepmother to Brady's two-year-son John Edward.
Bündchen and Brady started dating in December 2006 - just weeks after the American football player ended his three year relationship with Sex and the City star Bridget Moynahan.

Just a two months into his relationship with Bündchen, Brady was surprised to learn Moynahan was pregnant with his child and she gave birth to John in August 2007.

Speaking of her role as stepmother to toddler John, Bündchen said last year: 'I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it’s not like because somebody else delivered him, that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 per cent.
