After 13 years of marriage and raising two children, NFL pro Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen decided to part ways in 2022. Their love story began in January 2007, leading to their wedding on February 26, 2009. Together, they have two children – 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Tom Brady also has a 16-year-old son, Jack, from a previous relationship. Rumors suggest that Gisele is now dating Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor who was initially just a friend. But their connection quickly blossomed into something more. According to sources, Gisele and Joaquim have been seeing each other romantically. Joaquim Valente has been a rock for Gisele during this new chapter of her life post-divorce. What makes their relationship special is the strong foundation of friendship that they had before getting involved romantically. “He has been there for her as she transitions through this new phase of life post-divorce, and it’s been a really nice change for her,” reveals a source. Gisele and Valente share many common interests, particularly their passion for wellness. This shared love for staying active, traveling, and taking care of their well-being has deepened their bond. “They connect on a deep level and have a lot of fun together,” shares the source.
While Gisele didn’t directly confirm the romantic rumors, she did speak about the importance of Valente’s presence in her life. In a March 2023 interview with People magazine, Gisele expressed her gratitude for Valente, highlighting his role as a martial arts instructor for her and her children.
In May of the same year, Gisele and Valente were spotted enjoying quality time together on a Miami beach. The pair seemed genuinely happy and in sync with each other’s company.
