Despite the fact that her photos have gone popular on the internet, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen is not seeing anybody since her divorce from her ex-husband Tom Brady. On Saturday, November 12, the 42-year-old actress was photographed with jiu-jitsu teacher Joaquim Valente before heading to Koji in Costa Rica’s Provincia de Puntarenas.
A source informed Bang Showbiz about the outing:
“Any allegation that Gisele’s connection with Joaquim Valente is anything other than platonic and professional is absurd.” It is not only entirely wrong, but also ludicrous!”
For the occasion, the couple dressed down. Gisele was dressed in a cropped blouse and black jeans, while Valente was dressed in a gray t-shirt and shorts.
Apparently, this is Gisele’s new boyfriend: Joaquim Valente. He is a jiu-jitsu instructor in Miami.

Everything you need to know about Gisele Bundchen’s trainer, Joaquim Valente
According to Us Weekly, Joaquim Valente was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and attended school there from 1990 until 2007. The following year, he relocated to Florida and enrolled at Barry University. Valente earned a criminology degree four years later. He celebrates his birthday on November 6, according to Page Six, although his age is unknown at the time of writing.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Joaquim Valente is a professor at Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu, which is based in Miami Beach. He co-owns the business with his brothers Pedro and Gui. Joaquim Valente and Gisele Bundchen originally collaborated for one of Dust Magazine’s 2021 editions. In February 2022, the 42-year-old supermodel posted a video on her Instagram account exhibiting his studio while training in self-defense methods.
She noted in the caption of the post:
“I feel that having additional tools in our toolbox is beneficial. Since I began training in self-defense, I’ve felt stronger, more confident, and more powerful. I believe it is a vital talent for everyone, but especially for women. Thank you for being such great lecturers and making training so enjoyable. I am excited to continue progressing. Let’s get started!”
A source told Page Six that Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim were “strictly platonic and professional” during their recent outing.
“For the last year and a half, Joaquim and his two brothers have taught Gisele and the children martial arts. Jordan and Joaquim accompany the family when they travel since the children are homeschooled.”
According to Us Weekly, Joaquim Valente has also taught agents from the Secret Service, the FBI, and the Miami Police Department. Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady’s relationship has been rough since September 2022, when the two were said to have a major altercation. Many news agencies stated that the cause for their dispute was Brady’s decision to leave the NFL. The couple had kept their romance private until last month when they announced their much-anticipated divorce on social media.
