Gisele Bündchen Makes Public Debut With New Boyfriend After Tom Brady Divorce

Gisele Bündchen has been focusing on herself ever since divorcing NFL legend Tom Brady in late 2022. She just released a new cookbook, Nourish, and is enjoying her new relationship with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. While their romance has largely been kept under wraps, the couple just stepped out in public for the first time together. 

On March 27, Bündchen celebrated the book’s release with Valente at an event in Miami. According to Page Six, Bündchen gave a touching shoutout to Valente and spoke about her personal life in a wide-reaching Q&A. She thanked Valente for being such a great influence on her and noted that her love extends to his whole family. 

His siblings Pedro and Gui Valente, with whom he runs Valente Brothers jiu-jitsu school in Miami, taught Bündchen about “food spacing and food combining” as a way of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle. When the event was over, Valente reportedly went up to the stage to greet his girlfriend. 

Bündchen and Valente were first seen together in Costa Rica in November 2022, just one month after her divorce from Brady was finalized. They were just friends at the time, and Bündchen has adamantly denied rumors that she cheated on the Super Bowl champion before their split. The two were first romantically linked in June 2023. 

Between focusing on her health, her work, and her relationship, Bündchen has been keeping quite busy since moving to Miami. Only time will tell if the Victoria’s Secret Angel becomes a jiu-jitsu master.
