Gisele Bundchen ‘adores’ handsome jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente: ‘They have a deep relationship’

Gisele Bundchen is at the center of a whirlwind of rumors about the status of her relationship with her handsome jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, with whom she has vacationed in Costa Rica several times.

said a source People that ‘Gisele adores and trusts [Joaquim] and she’s been spending a lot of time with him’, but the duo are not in a ‘traditional dating scene’.

The speculation about Gisele, 42, and Joaquim comes after the supermodel finalized her divorce from NFL icon Tom Brady, whom she reportedly parted with over his refusal to quit the sport.

Now, a source has revealed that Gisele and Joaquim “have a deep personal relationship, and he is a teacher to her and the children.” Whether or not it will ever become more than that is on the table.

Another source stated that Gisele was “happy and doing great” but was “focused on her kids, her health and her job.”

Gisele and Joaquim were spotted together in Costa Rica last week, just days before Tom’s Tampa Bay team’s disastrous 31-14 loss to the Cowboys on Monday, and he refused to rule out retirement for the second time.

During his last sighting with Gisele, Joaquim was wearing a gray top and shorts when he joined the Vogue cover star for a run, two months after the couple were first seen in the country with their two children with Tom: Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, which quickly sparked romance rumors between the pair.

However, a source close to Gisele furiously denied that they were in a relationship at the time, insisting that the date was anything but romantic and maintaining that Joaquim was nothing more than a close family friend.

“He’s been his kids’ jiu-jitsu teacher for years,” the source claimed. “There is no truth to the rumors that they are dating.”

Gisele and Joaquim seem to have a very old history, and they even participated in a photo shoot for Dust Magazine together with Joaquim’s brothers, Pedro and Giu Valente, last year.

An informant recently said People that Gisele is “very loaded with her career in the next few months” in the wake of their divorce. She “she’s busy making decisions and she feels happier and calmer than she has in a long time.”

Brady first retired in January 2022 while with the New England Patriots, but he walked away just 40 days before announcing he would return to the Buccaneers for the 2022 season.

Family: The couple share custody of their two children, Vivian and Benjamin. Tom also has a third son, John, 15, from his relationship with Bridget Moynahan. They are shown in February 2022, after he announced that he was retiring, but changed his mind a month later.

The NFL superstar and the Brazilian supermodel confirmed their separation on October 28 after weeks of speculation.

Gisele filed for divorce because she felt her partner “wasn’t as caring as he should have been.”

‘That is what [Gisele] I wanted: to be heard. And he wasn’t listening to her,” the source told the site.

While Bundchen, a native of Brazil, was raising his two children, the athlete was “busy following his passion.” Brady also shares his 15-year-old son Jack with his ex Bridget Moynahan.

Second round? Brady’s team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, suffered a disastrous 31-14 loss to the Cowboys on Monday, and he refused to rule out retirement for the second time.

Someone familiar with the quarterback said: “When he’s in the middle of a season, [Brady] he does what most NFL players do: live, breathe, eat and sleep football,” adding, “Tom is more like that than anybody.”

Another source responded: ‘He was always there for her and the kids. Even during soccer.

“He is an anomaly because he has played for so long. Yes, he worked like any other father, but he always spends a lot of time with his family.

Brady dodged questions about free agency and what the future holds for him on Monday, choosing to end his postgame media duties with a monologue praising the reporters in the room.

‘I just want to say thank you guys for everything this year. I really appreciate all of their efforts,’ Brady said, following Tampa Bay’s 31-14 loss to the Cowboys.

Marital problems: A source told People magazine that Tom “wasn’t as attentive as he should be” with Gisele before the split. They are photographed in September 2016.

In a statement posted on Instagram, the athlete called his and Gisele’s decision to end their relationship “painful” but vowed to put their children first so they “get the love and attention they deserve.”

Gisele added in a post of her own: ‘My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart.

“We will continue to be co-parents to give them the love, care and attention they so deserve.

‘The decision to end a marriage is never easy, but we have grown apart. Of course, it’s hard to go through something like that.

The supermodel concluded by stating that she “wish” her ex “the best” and said that she was “blessed” by the “time they had together”.

Brady had a chaotic season, both on and off the field, culminating in his first losing season.
