Gisele Bündchen was seen for the first time since the death of her beloved mother Vânia Nonnenmacher, who died of cancer at the weekend at the age of 75.
Days after sharing an emotional Instagram tribute in which she described her mother as “an angel on earth,” the 43-year-old supermodel appeared somber as she walked with her 11-year-old daughter Vivian and their German Shepherd.
As they strolled through their Surfside, Florida, neighborhood on Wednesday, the mother of two appeared to comfort her youngest child by hugging him and kissing him on the cheek.
The duo didn't stray far from their $11.5 million mansion, directly opposite her ex-husband Tom Brady's estate, as they headed out for some fresh air.

At one point, Bündchen let her pooch off the leash to play a game of fetch.
After retrieving a tennis ball, the pup walked past the Vogue cover girl and Vivian, who wants to become a “professional equestrian.”
For her relaxed outing, the former Victoria's Secret Angel wore a light gray crewneck sweater, black leggings and sneakers.
She kept her head bowed and wore a baseball cap over her golden locks, which were slicked back into a low ponytail.
Like her mother, Vivian chose exercise on her last outing.
The teen was wearing a light blue “Ski Lodge” hoodie, black pants with stripes down the sides and white tennis shoes.
Their walk came after the best-selling author returned home from an early workout at the gym earlier in the day.
On Tuesday, Bündchen took to Instagram to pay tribute to her late mother, who raised her along with five sisters.

“You were an angel on earth who always helped everyone around you,” she said of the loving mother and retired bank employee.
“I’m so grateful to be your daughter and to have learned from you.”
“Thank you for being the best example of love, strength, compassion, courage and grace.”

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Gisele revealed that she and her ex-husband Tom Brady, 46, have different parenting approaches, a point that occasionally causes tension with their own children.
“Sometimes I get resistance, especially because they live in two different houses now and there are two different paths,” the model explained.

“But I feel like I owe it to my children because of what my mother taught me.”
In her poignant letter, Gisele said: “I will forever cherish the beautiful memories we shared and live by the values you taught me,” she said.
“You will live forever for the many lives you have touched.” Thank you for giving me five best friends for life. Your love will always guide us.'
