Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, were recently spotted enjoying a romantic date night in Miami. The Brazilian supermodel, 43, and the jiu-jitsu instructor, 36, were joined by friends at the Mediterranean restaurant Aba Miami. During the dinner, Bündchen appeared happy and affectionate, putting her arm around Valente several times.
Bündchen took the lead with the menu and ordered for the table, selecting delectable appetizers such as crispy short rib hummus, Caesar salad, and crispy potatoes. Despite being recognized by a few guests, she was able to enjoy her meal without interruption.
Earlier, the couple was seen inspecting Bündchen's new property under construction in Miami. They were observed staying close to each other as they explored the worksite.
Bündchen, who shares two children with her ex-husband Tom Brady, denied rumors of infidelity with Valente. She emphasized that leaving an unhealthy relationship should not lead to unfounded accusations of cheating.
The couple met in December 2021 and sparked romance rumors after public outings in November 2022. Bündchen initially described Valente as their teacher and someone she admires and trusts. Their friendship evolved into a romantic relationship, confirmed by insiders in June 2023.
Bündchen, who has been a stepmother figure to Brady's son from a previous relationship, described her divorce as painful. The split between Bündchen and Brady occurred after a reported disagreement over Brady's decision to briefly unretire from football.
Since the separation, Brady has been enjoying single life and dating Irina Shayk on and off since last June. Meanwhile, Bündchen and Valente are reported to be deeply in love, according to sources close to the couple.
