Gisele Bundchen is 'deeply in love' with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente
Gisele Bündchen looks ready to take her relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor lover to the next level.
The 43-year-old supermodel was spotted hanging out with her rumoured boyfriend, 35-year-old Joaquim Valente, on Valentine’s Day, and the duo were seen kissing in Miami, according to reports. And now, their relationship is seriously heating up as insiders say Gisele is "deeply in love".
The Brazilian beauty announced her divorce from NFL star Tom Brady in October 2022. The couple, who had been together for 15 years, share two children: 14-year-old Benjamin and 11-year-old Vivian. Although Gisele, who recently lost her mother to cancer, has yet to confirm her new relationship and seems keen to keep it under wraps for the time being. Last summer, rumours of their relationship went into overdrive when the hunky instructor was spotted on multiple trips with Gisele and her kids, to Costa Rica and Brazil.

Back in March, she told Vanity Fair that she and the jiu-jitsu master are just “great friends”.
When asked about the rumours of romance, she said: “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.” She went on to rave about Joaquim and his brothers, Pedro and Gui, who run the Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu studio with him.
"Not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially," she added, saying that she "admires" and "trusts" Joaquim - while remaining adamant there was nothing more there than a friendship.
