Gisele Bündchen is celebrating her birthday in style.

The Brazilian supermodel took to Instagram to celebrate her 46th birthday with a series of photos, including one of her lounging in a leopard-print bikini.

"Thank you all for the love and birthday wishes. I feel so grateful for this new cycle that is beginning and for all the adventures that lie ahead," she captioned the post. "May the love and kindness you share return to each of you a thousandfold. ❤️✨"

Other photos in the post showed the mom of three looking up at the sun with her hand on her chest and her eyes closed, as well as a shot of her birthday cake, which was in the shape of a heart.

Her husband, Joaquim Valente, showed her some love in the comments section, writing, "👏🎉✨❤️🥳."

Others joined in to wish Bundchen a happy birthday, with one writing, "Hope you had the happiest birthday 🎂 🎉," and another adding, "Happy birthday my beautiful angel🎉🥳🪽." Fellow supermodel, Heidi Klum also sent her well wishes, writing, "Happy Birthday G🐐❤️."

The celebratory post comes just a few days after Bundchen shared photos from her recent family getaway to Tahiti, which included snaps of her older children Benjamin Rein, 16, and Vivian Lake, 13, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tom Brady, 48, and rare photos of her with her youngest child who she shares with Valente.
