Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend Joaquim Valente recently enjoyed a sunny boat trip, just weeks after welcoming their first child together. Bündchen looked stunning in a black bathing suit as she shared a kiss with Valente. The supermodel wore a black one-piece with a flowing cover-up tied around her waist.
News of the couple's new arrival broke in early February. A source close to Bündchen told People magazine that she is doing well and seems very happy and content. The source added that she is focused on her family and has been resting since the baby's arrival.
Bündchen also shares two children with her ex-husband, retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady. The former couple finalized their divorce in October 2022.
Valente first came into Bündchen's life as a jiu-jitsu instructor for her son, Benny. Bündchen's own interest in jiu-jitsu was originally sparked by her son. After being referred to the Valente Brothers academy through a friend, the supermodel told Vogue magazine in 2022, "I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction. I thought he might be interested in this."
The Brazilian beauty started studying jiu-jitsu herself in December 2021. "Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself," she said. "But when I brought [Benny] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense."
After spending time as friends, Bündchen and Valente reportedly became romantically involved in June 2023. A source told Fox News Digital that their relationship progressed from teacher/student to friends, and eventually, after Bündchen's divorce from Brady, something more developed. The source added that Valente is an extremely charismatic person with a great sense of humor, is very intelligent and loving, and is a good person who loves kids.
Bündchen and Brady announced their divorce on October 28, 2022, in separate Instagram posts. They wrote that the decision to end their marriage was not easy, but they had grown apart and wished each other the best.

It's sad to see how quickly people move on after a long marriage.

I'm sure she's still a great mom, even if she's dating again.

I don't think it's fair to judge her for moving on quickly.
KittyKat
She's hardly had time to recover from the divorce, and she's already flaunting a new boyfriend.

I'm starting to think she's more interested in fame and fortune than in real love.

I'll always be a fan of Gisele Bündchen.

I feel bad for Tom Brady. He seems like a genuinely good guy.

She's an inspiration to all women.

Who cares if it's a rebound? She's a single woman who can date whoever she wants.
