Tom Brady Shares Cryptic Message on Love Amid Gisele Baby News
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are soaking up the sun.
One month after welcoming their baby, the couple stepped out for the first time as new parents for a relaxing day on a boat in Miami, Florida.
For the outing, the supermodel donned a cheetah print one-piece bathing suit and a black skirt while the jiu-jitsu instructor seemed to be tasked with driving the boat, standing shirtless by the wheel with a towel draped around his neck. Also joining them for the ride? Gisele’s 12-year-old daughter Vivian, who she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. (Gisele and Tom are also parents to son Benjamin, 15.)
Gisele and Joaquim’s love story began one year after she ended her 13-year marriage to the former NFL quarterback in 2022.
It’s “the death of my dream,” the fashion icon said of her divorce in a 2023 Vanity Fair cover story. “It’s tough because you imagine your life was going to be a certain way, and you did everything you could, you know? I believed in fairy tales when I was a kid. I think it’s beautiful to believe in that. I mean, I’m so grateful I did.”
And while Gisele and Tom ended their romance on good terms, it wasn’t long before she was sparking romance rumors with Joaquim—who, along with his brothers Pedro and Gui, taught her and her kids jiu-jitsu.
“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything,” Gisele told VF, denying romance rumors. “I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially. He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”

Then, in Feb. 2024, a source close to the situation confirmed their relationship to E! News, with the news of their pregnancy making headlines just eight months later. Even so, the pair has been adamant about keeping their relationship largely out of the spotlight—though Gisele has shared the occasional glimpse into their romance.
"This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first," she told The New York Times in March 2023, though she didn’t directly name him at the time. "It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent."
