Recent reports have shed light on the evolving relationship dynamics between Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, and her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. Speculation arose following Bündchen and Valente being identified as a couple, described as being 'deeply in love.' While initial reports suggested a dating timeline starting in June, subsequent sources emphasized a slower, friendship-based progression.
Amidst divorce proceedings between Brady and Bündchen in October 2022, Valente's presence on family trips to Costa Rica and Brazil raised eyebrows. However, insiders clarified that his role was primarily to provide jiu-jitsu training, alongside his brother, with whom he traveled. These interactions were characterized as platonic at the time.
Contrary to earlier claims, Bündchen and Valente reportedly had a conversation in July 2023 that solidified their romantic relationship. The public acknowledgment of their status came when they were spotted kissing on Valentine's Day in Miami. Bündchen had previously addressed rumors of a romantic involvement with Valente, emphasizing their teacher-student relationship and mutual admiration.
Valente's presence in Bündchen's life has been noted in various activities, including paddleboarding, beach strolls, jogging, horseback riding, gym sessions, and airport pickups. Meanwhile, Brady's romantic status remains less defined, with sporadic sightings alongside Irina Shayk and socializing with Leonardo DiCaprio.
The former couple, Brady and Bündchen, share two children, in addition to Brady's child from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen has expressed gratitude for the Valente brothers' support and friendship, highlighting their positive influence on her and her children.
