Gisele Bündchen, the 44-year-old supermodel, is expecting her third child with her 37-year-old Jiu-Jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. Their love story began on the mat, where Joaquim was initially Gisele’s self-defense teacher. Over the past year, their relationship has blossomed, and Joaquim has become more than just her trainer.
Their bond was forged through their shared love for sports, particularly Jiu-Jitsu. Gisele was a student at Joaquim’s academy in Miami, where he taught her and her children self-defense techniques. Their closeness became evident when Gisele shared a video in February 2022, thanking Joaquim and his brothers for being great teachers. They also spent time together in Costa Rica, where Gisele owns a house, enjoying beach days with friends and her children, sparking rumors of a romance.
In a recent interview with the „New York Times,“ Gisele opened up about her relationship with Joaquim, emphasizing the honesty and transparency that exists between them. This contrasts with her previous marriage to NFL legend Tom Brady, where she felt that he was not fully contributing to their family life. This ultimately led to their divorce in October 2022.
Joaquim, on the other hand, seems to be the right fit for Gisele’s second chapter in life. Since retiring from the runway in 2015, Gisele has embraced spirituality, a lifestyle that she shares with Joaquim. Both natives of Brazil, they enjoy nature, sports, and spending time together on the beaches of Costa Rica. They are focused on creating a peaceful and loving environment for their blended family.
Currently, Gisele is reportedly in the second half of her pregnancy, and preparations are being made for their expanding family. After her divorce from Brady, Gisele renovated an $11 million estate in Miami, with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 610 square meters of space. As she celebrated her 44th birthday on July 20th, Gisele expressed gratitude for the love and support she has received, looking forward to the future with excitement.
