Family members of Vânia, who was a retired Brazilian bank employee, mourned her loss on social media but so far, Gisele Bundchen has not made any post about her mother’s death.

The supermodel and her mother were very close. In July 2022, Gisele had posted on her personal Instagram account a series of photos for her mother’s birthday, in which she wrote:

“I am eternally grateful for everything you have done and continue to do for us. Thank you for always loving us, inspiring us and teaching us so much. Thank you for life! I love you very much”.

Besides Giselle, Vânia had five more daughters with which the supermodel had recently uploaded a rare photo of them.
