EXCLUSIVE: Gisele Bündchen arrives at jiu-jitsu instructor — and reportedly beau — Joaquim Valente’s gym in Miami after a trip to Brazil…after picking her up at the airport

She seemingly denied they were an item in an interview from earlier this year.

But Gisele Bündchen stayed close to the job of handsome jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente during a Saturday outing.

The 43-year-old model and ex-wife of Tom Brady was spotted arriving at Valente’s gym in Miami rocking a workout-ready ensemble.

Despite her protests, she and the martial artist seemed closer than ever after he took the unusual step of picking her up at Miami International Airport when her flight arrived in the early morning hours on Friday.

She looked fresh and ready the next day when she was seen climbing out of her SUV in a white top that emphasized her toned arms.

Gisele contrasted the top with low-profile dark blue leggings that emphasized her long, slender legs.

She closed out the athleisure ensemble in gray sneakers and she carried an aquamarine water bottle and a gray handbag draped over her shoulder.

The Brazilian beauty had her long dirty blonde hair tied in a ponytail and she had a natural face.

After a vacation in her native Brazil, she started to focus on fitness again.

Joaquim also happens to be from the South American country.

While Gisele indulged in the joys of Brazil, her ex-husband Tom traveled across Africa with their daughter to celebrate his 46th birthday.

In a recent interview with Vogue BrazilGisele reflected on the difficulties of getting a divorce to the attention of the public.

“Breaking up is never easy, especially when there’s a whole media speculating every step of the way,” she told the magazine.

“I have always trusted that every situation, no matter how challenging, has something to teach us and happens for our growth.”

Since November, rumors have been swirling about Gisele and Joaquim, fueled by their frequent public sightings together, including during trips to Costa Rica.
