Bündchen 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."

After 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."
