According to marriage records reviewed by People, the wedding took place on December 3. However, the couple managed to keep the news private for months. TMZ later reported that Gisele and Joaquim exchanged vows at their home in an intimate ceremony attended by only a small group.
The pair were first linked romantically in November 2022, when they were spotted vacationing together. They began dating in June 2023 after their friendship turned into something more.
“Joaquim is a great guy,” the insider told People. “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.”
Earlier this year, the couple welcomed a baby boy together, further solidifying their growing family. At the time, the source shared their happiness about the future, saying: “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.”
Gisele is already mom to son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. The former power couple announced their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. At the time, Tom wrote on Instagram: “In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”

Gisele later explained the split by saying: “The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always.”
Now, with a new marriage and expanding family, Gisele appears focused on peace, privacy, and fresh beginnings.
