Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel, has found solace in the arms of her new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The couple’s relationship has been heating up, with Valente spending most nights at Bündchen’s Miami home. According to friends, he has been her rock since the passing of her mother. Let’s delve into the details of this blossoming romance.
A Love Story Begins
Bündchen and Valente’s love story first started in June, although they were first seen together more than a year prior. The couple has been keeping their relationship low-key, but recently, they have been more open about their affection for each other in public.
A Seal of Romance
On Valentine’s Day, Bündchen and Valente sealed their romance with a passionate kiss, confirming the rumors that had been swirling since November 2022. Just weeks after her divorce from NFL icon Tom Brady, Bündchen was spotted vacationing with Valente in Costa Rica. The couple has also enjoyed trips to their native Brazil together.
A Supportive Partner
Valente has been a pillar of support for Bündchen, especially during the difficult times following the loss of her mother, Vânia Nonnenmacher. The supermodel’s mother passed away in January, and Valente has been there for her every step of the way. Friends describe him as her rock, helping her navigate the challenges of divorce and grief.
The Brady Factor
As Bündchen moves on with her life, it’s unclear how her ex-husband, Tom Brady, feels about her new relationship. Sources close to Brady reveal that he is currently focused on his children and work, not seeking another marriage. Despite a brief fling with Irina Shayk, Brady’s main priority remains his family.
Bündchen’s Cookbook and Home Renovations
Amidst her blossoming romance, Bündchen is also busy with her upcoming cookbook, “Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul.” The supermodel is promoting the cookbook before its release next month. Additionally, she is overseeing the renovation of her $11.5 million Indian Creek mansion, which she purchased after her divorce. Interestingly, Bündchen has been spotted spending time at Valente’s more modest apartment in an upscale building.
A Shared Passion for Jiu-Jitsu
Bündchen and Valente share a common interest in jiu-jitsu. Valente is a jiu-jitsu instructor, and Bündchen has been practicing the martial art with him. Valente and his brothers, Pedro Valente and Gui, have been practicing jiu-jitsu since childhood and now teach at the Valente Brothers facility.
A Brazilian Connection
The couple’s shared Brazilian background has brought them closer together. Both Bündchen and Valente left Brazil at a young age and have built successful lives in the United States. They not only enjoy life in Miami but also share a passion for healthy living.
Looking Towards the Future
As Bündchen focuses on her relationship with Valente, her children remain a priority. She shares custody of her two children, Benjamin and Vivian, with Brady. According to a source, the children are adjusting to the new dynamic and enjoy spending time with Valente. Bündchen’s friends and family are thrilled to see her happy and believe Valente is a perfect match for her.
