Love is in the air, and so are rumors that Tom Brady‘s former wife, Gisele Bündchen, and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, are romantically involved with each other. According to several sources, the pair were allegedly caught red-handed kissing last week.
These spicy rumors have been in the air since the model’s divorce from Tom Brady, which occurred in 2022. She and the NFL star have reportedly made co-parenting work in their favor. An insider had this to say about their new-found relationship: “Their children spend equal amounts of time with both parents, which works out great all around.”
The former Victoria’s Secret model and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor have struck down the steamy rumor repeatedly, but the reports claiming that they are an item have been quite persistent.
One source on the side of the romance stated: “[They’ve been] discreetly seeing each other since the summer.”
However, another, who believes it is all mere buzz supported by empty evidence and nothing more, said: “[Joaquim] and his two brothers are Gisele and the kids’ martial arts teachers. They are not dating.”
Gisele Bündchen, herself, is very fond of Valente. She is enjoying Jiu-Jitsu, a method of self-defense. In a personal post, she touched the hearts of many, with soul-warming words.
The model expressed her gratitude, and thanks for the Valente brothers by saying: “I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox, the better. I feel stronger, more confidence, and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you, @ValenteBrothers, for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun.”
In the post, Bündchen made it clear that she believes that self-defense is an essential skill for all people, “specially for us women”. She also said that Jiu-Jitsu made her the best version of herself and aided her in the self-reflection process.
She ended by saying: “It felt very much in line 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 myself … then I was hooked. I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything. They have become great friends, and Joaquim especially.”
Many are happy that the model has decided to find love again. However, according to reports, Brady believes that the romance with Valente started years ago, before the divorce.
