Supermodel Gisele Bündchen married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in December 2025, approximately ten months after the couple welcomed their son. The supermodel celebrated her husband's 39th birthday on November 7, 2026, sharing a loving message on Instagram. Their relationship reportedly began in late 2022, just two weeks after Bündchen's divorce from Tom Brady was finalized.
Joaquim Valente, along with his brothers Pedro and Gui, runs the Valente Brothers jiu-jitsu studio in Miami, Florida. The brothers, who are also from Brazil, have been practicing and teaching Brazilian jiu-jitsu for decades. Gisele has credited her training with Valente for her increased strength, confidence, and empowerment. She previously met Valente during a photoshoot for Dust magazine in 2021.
In October 2025, news emerged of Bündchen's pregnancy, and their baby boy, with middle name River, was welcomed by February 2026. Father's Day in 2026 saw Bündchen publicly honor Valente as an incredible role model for their children, highlighting his embodiment of values such as love, humility, integrity, and discipline.
