Gisele has been in a relationship with Joaquim since June 2023. She divorced Tom in 2022.
Joaquim, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, owns a jiu-jitsu studio in Miami with his brothers Pedro and Gui Valente.
They first met in December 2021 when Gisele was looking for jiu-jitsu training for her son and then decided to take classes as well.
In the meantime, Page six reports that Gisele’s friends don’t expect the couple to get married “anytime soon.”
Gisele’s friends reportedly think the couple will “just live together” for now.
There is currently no talk of a marriage, the source says.
“There’s a huge difference between them in terms of net worth,” the insider said. “As far as Giselle is concerned, there is no point in tempting fate.”
Gisele was recently reported to have a net worth of $400 million.

In early July, the lovebirds enjoyed a summer vacation to Costa Rica with her two children.
She told Dust Magazine: ‘At first I didn’t even think about it. But when I brought [her son Ben] When I went to first grade and started talking to Joaquim, I realized it was much more than self-defense.”
She added that the jiu-jitsu philosophy interested her the most: “It felt very aligned with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of becoming myself.’
The duo sparked romance rumors when they were spotted together in Costa Rica in November 2022, two weeks after her divorce from Tom Brady was finalized.
Gisele denied they were in a relationship. Despite the questionable timeline of their relationship, Bundchen has denied cheating on her husband of 13 years.

“That’s a lie,” she told the New York Times in late March, explaining that she “doesn’t want to turn my life into a tabloid.”
“This is something that happens to many women who are blamed for having the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and labeled as unfaithful,” Bundchen explains.
After months of romance, Bundchen confirmed her new relationship earlier this year, although she did not mention Valente.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone who was a friend of mine,” Bündchen told the NYT. ‘It’s very different. It’s very honest and very transparent.’
The couple first became romantically involved on Valentine’s Day when they were photographed sharing a kiss during a date in Miami. Page Six reported at the time that the couple is ‘deeply in love’.
A separate source also told People: “They have been dating since June. They’re taking it easy.’
