Gisele Bündchen Enjoys A Horse Ride With Her Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Amid Tom Brady's Blow Up

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente have been spotted together once again, but this time atop horses. The duo has been seen several times over the past months after Bündchen finalized her divorce from her husband of 13 years, Tom Brady.

The former couple divorced months after Brady decided to return to the football field after his retirement announcement early last year. Bündchen and her instructor Valente, have since been seen together on several occasions.

Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor Valente were recently spotted horse riding. They were photographed on Tuesday during a Costa Rica getaway. Bündchen had a huge smile on her face while riding next to Valente while the instructor looked on.

The model had on a green tank top paired with blue jeans for the ride with her hair down. Valente, on his end, wore a blue shirt with jeans and a blue baseball hat worn backward.

Rumors of a romance between the duo started in November 2022 after they were seen having dinner with each other in Costa Rica. A source, however, told Page Six that they were "strictly platonic and professional" at the time.

They added, "Joaquim and his two brothers have instructed Gisele and the children in martial arts for the past year and a half," the insider said, while another source shared that he travels "with the family when they're out of town because the kids are homeschooled."

Earlier this week, People Magazine reported that Bündchen and Valente have a special relationship that has grown since her divorce from Brady. According to a source for the news outlet, the two are very close to each other but have not yet determined what kind of relationship they have.

The insider said, "They said, "Gisele adores and trusts [Joaquim] and has been spending a lot of time with him, but I don't think it's a traditional dating scenario. They have a deep personal relationship, and he is a teacher to her and the kids. Whether or not it will ever become more than that rests on the table."

The insider said Bündchen really liked staying in Costa Rica, and the model is committed to keeping fit and active while she ventures back into the modeling industry.

Months after finalizing her divorce from Brady, Bündchen is back to modeling. The mother of two was a part of Louis Vuitton's colorful campaign earlier this year in collaboration with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. The modeling gig is Bündchen's first since the model and Brady ended their 13 years of marriage late last year.

The luxury brand shared a video of the Brazilian supermodel on Instagram posing with the new bags on display. She was topless in the photo with the two backs clutched to her chest and a pair of blue jeans. Rolling Stones' "She's Like a Rainbow" could be heard in the background while colorful dots whizzed around Bündchen.

Other models featured in the campaign included Bella Hadid, Natalia Vodianova, Christy Turlington, Karlie Kloss, Devon Aoki, and Liya Kebede. Louis Vuitton's press release read, "Blending the creativity of Yayoi Kusama and the savoir-faire of Louis Vuitton, the new collection reinterprets the Maison's iconic pieces, infused with the artist's signature motifs."

"Celebrating art, audacity, and craftsmanship, Kusama's painted dots, metal dots, infinity dots, and psychedelic flower enliven the universe of Louis Vuitton," it continued.

While Bündchen is seemingly having the best time since the divorce, the same can't be said for Brady. The athlete made headlines earlier this week for giving an expletive-filled response to a question about his football career. The incident happened in the latest episode of Let's Go! SiriusXM podcast, released on Monday.

Jim Gray, the host, asked Brady what he had planned if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could not reach the playoffs over the weekend. He said, "Tom, you're leaving everybody guessing. You said you'll take your time. Do you have any type of a timetable as to what you might want to do regarding your football career?"

Brady, seemingly frustrated at being put on the spot, responded, "If I knew what I was f**king doing, I'd have already f**king done it." He added, "I'm taking it a day at a time."
