Gisele Bündchen Marries Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Joaquim Valente in Florida 3 Years After Divorce from Tom Brady
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are married!
The Brazilian fashion model and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor tied the knot in a ceremony in Surfside, Florida, on Dec. 3, according to marriage records reviewed by PEOPLE. TMZ was first to report the news.
A rep for Bündchen did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Bündchen, 45, and Valente previously welcomed a baby boy together in early 2025, according to reports. A source close to Gisele confirmed her pregnancy to PEOPLE on Oct. 28, 2024, saying the pair are “happy for this new chapter in their life.”
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told PEOPLE in a statement at the time.
Their baby — which is the model’s third child — joins her son Benjamin Rein, 15, and daughter Vivian Lake, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.

Bündchen has began dating the Jiu-Jitsu instructor since June 2023. The pair were first spotted together in November 2022, when they visited Provincia de Puntarenas (a province located on Costa Rica’s coast) with her two kids.
The model originally denied a romantic relationship with her trainer, but a love connection later blossomed between the pair. In February 2024, a source confirmed Bündchen and Valente’s relationship to PEOPLE and noted that their friendship turned into something more romantic.
“They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other,” a source said at the time.
A second source echoed the first, noting that Valente “was a huge comfort” for Bündchen “while she went through her divorce” with Brady. She and the former NFL star filed for divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
“Joaquim is a great guy,” the inside added. “He is down to earth, kind and inspiring. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It’s been very natural for her to date Joaquim.”
“They come from similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil very young. They have both created amazing lives for themselves in the U.S.,” the insider explained to PEOPLE. “They both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living. Gisele’s in a great space. She is happy and very much enjoying life. Joaquim is perfect for her.”
