Despite claims that the duo was not seeing each other, Gisele Bündchen has once again been photographed with her jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente but this time, the pair were going for a jog. The model and Tom Brady announced their divorce late last year after a few weeks of separation brought on by the athlete’s return to the field.
In the meantime, 2023 has seen the mother of two make a return to the modeling scene. Bündchen recently graced the cover of a new Louis Vuitton campaign shared earlier this month.
Earlier on, the model and her two kids, Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake went on a family vacation in the Costa Rica province Provincia de Puntarenas. The family’s instructor, Valente, was also spotted on the trip that took place two weeks after Bündchen and Brady announced that their divorce was finalized.

Gisele Bündchen Shared A Video With Joaquim Valente
After rumors of the duo being a couple started flying, a source close to the model spoke to People Magazine to clarify the situation. They said, “He and his two brothers are Gisele and the kids’ martial arts teachers. They are not dating.”
In February 2022, Bündchen posted a video of her and Valente during one of their classes. There she revealed that since joining his classes, she had started feeling “stronger” and more confident. She wrote, “I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox, the better.”
The model continued, “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. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go!”
The Supermodel And Jiu Jitsu Instructor Were Seen In Costa Rica
Instagram/valentebrothersBündchen and her jujitsu instructor were first rumored to be seeing each other in November after they were spotted eating at a Costa Rica restaurant with the Brazilian model’s two children. Valente’s co-trainer Jordan was also with them that evening.
While Purepeople, a famous Brazilian gossip site, claimed that the duo was dating, an insider via Page Six claimed that the instructor was merely a family friend and the relationship was “strictly platonic and professional.” They continued, “Joaquim and his two brothers have instructed Gisele and the children in martial arts for the past year and a half.”
A second source added, “Jordan and Joaquim travel with the family when they’re out of town because the kids are homeschooled.” A source close to the family claimed, “It certainly looks like Gisele is showing off — and showing Tom what he’s missing.”
Gisele Bündchen And Tom Brady Finalized Their Divorce Last Year
MEGAAfter 13 years of marriage, the famous Brazilian model and Brady ended their union in October 2022. They reportedly started having issues earlier that year after the once-retired NFL star decided to pull out of retirement and get on the field once again.
Reports claimed that the decision had caused no small trouble between the couple, and Bündchen eventually moved into separate quarters. By October, Brady took to social media to announce that they had finalized their “painful” divorce and were now dedicated to co-parenting their children together.
“In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage,” the post read. “We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way.”
