This was surprising news, but not so much if we take into account that, practically always, but especially since her divorce from Tom Brady, at the end of 2022, after 13 years of living together, Gisele Bündchen has sought and obtained a secret about her private life that few celebrities can claim to have achieved. Anyway, the latest thing that emerged about the Brazilian model is that He has since married his partner, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, in an intimate ceremony held at their home in Surfside, Florida.
In fact, they said “yes” several weeks ago. More precisely, as North American specialized media like TMZ either People, The wedding took place last Wednesday, December 3. Although only relatively recently, sources close to the couple confirmed the connection, which was attended only by very close family members and friends who knew about their plans in advance, although, at their request, they allegedly kept everything secret.
Perhaps because their relationship was closely monitored from its beginnings, with even rumors of infidelity that the model had to deny several times until she preferred to adopt a much more reserved position, limiting her own use of Instagram and does not give rise to gossip. This is how their relationship began.

It all started four years ago, when Bündchen was listening to Benjamin Rain, the eldest of her two children with the winner. strategist —his other daughter is called Vivian Lake—, who tells him that she wants to teach ju-jitsu. Gisèle enrolled him at the Valente Brothers school in Miami. Shortly after, in February 2022, It is she herself who uploads a video to the networks in which she appears training with her future partner, stating that it is important for women to know self-defense. At that time, no one suspected what was going to happen.
Something that ends up happening in October. After Gisele claimed that after so many years of putting her career on hold because her husband didn’t want it, Brady’s return to the playing field led to an argument. which, finally, in October, ends with the announcement of their divorce. “Now it’s my turn,” the model said, adding that the separation was inevitable.
From January 2023 to February 2024
The year 2023, after some rumors that Bündchen was dating billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, a friend of Brady’s, begins with the model and Valente going for a run together. At this time, they are said to have “a deep personal relationship”, but whether this leads to something more is “up in the air”. In March, however, they took a trip to the beaches of Costa Rica. and the rumors are becoming more and more certain.

Joaquim especially. “He is our teacher and, more importantly, he is a person I admire and trust.” In August, they were hunted together again, in this case with their daughter Vivian.
After that, Bündchen, then aged 43, decided to break away from the networks: she would only use them one hour a week. And it is precisely for this reason that it will take him a few days to pay a vibrant tribute to his mother in January 2024, when she died at the age of 75. A crucial moment because it will be revealed that Valente is by his side in such a difficult stage, with whom he shares Valentine’s Day in February. “They are completely in love,” a close source said after they were spotted in their Miami neighborhood kissing for the holidays.
From March 2024 to December 2025
