In recent news, supermodel Gisele Bündchen and jiu-jitsu trainer Joaquim Valente have been the subject of rumors surrounding their alleged romantic relationship. According to sources, the couple was even spotted sharing a kiss on Valentine's Day in their Miami neighborhood.
Insiders claim that Bündchen and Valente are deeply in love and spend a significant amount of time together. The supermodel has previously spoken highly of Valente, referring to him as their teacher and someone she admires and trusts. She also emphasized the positive energy he brings, especially when it comes to her children.
Valente has frequently been seen with Bündchen and her family, accompanying them on trips to Costa Rica and Brazil, their native country. However, there are those who argue that labeling their relationship as 'love' may be premature. Another source suggests that the couple has been discreetly seeing each other since the summer.
Valente has been spotted engaging in various activities with Bündchen, such as paddleboarding, strolling on the beach, jogging, and even picking her up from the airport. Following Bündchen's divorce from NFL star Tom Brady, Valente was seen spending time with her and her children on a trip to Costa Rica. However, at that time, sources insisted that he and his brothers were the family's martial arts teachers, not romantic partners.
Though rumors have been circulating about Bündchen and Valente, those close to the model have previously denied any romantic involvement. Bündchen herself has posted cryptic quotes on social media, indicating that opinions and perspectives should not be mistaken for facts or truths.
Throughout 2023, the pair has been spotted together on numerous occasions. An insider has suggested that they have been together for at least a year, often seen leaving each other's places and occasionally walking Bündchen's dog together.
Representatives for Bündchen have not commented on the situation. Last year, the model addressed rumors about her relationship with Valente, expressing gratitude for their friendship and the support they provided for her and her children.
Bündchen and Brady filed for divorce in 2022, with both expressing their love for their children and wishing each other the best in their future endeavors. Since the split, Brady has not been involved in any serious relationships but has been seen intermittently with model Irina Shayk. The former couple shares two children, while Brady also has a child from a previous relationship.
Amidst the speculation, Bündchen recently shared a quote on Instagram Stories about personal transformation and the challenges of healing and letting go. Brady also took to Instagram on Valentine's Day, referring to his children as his 'Forever Valentine's.'
Joaquim Valente teaches jiu-jitsu at an academy in Miami, alongside his brothers. It was at this academy that Bündchen and her family initially began their training in 2021.
