Gisele Bündchen, who is now dating jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, is enjoying this new chapter of life.
As The Blast reported, Gisele had a dramatic split from retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, which they officially announced in October 2022. Ever since, the media has followed their every move, finding out that Gisele has moved on from her ex and started a new relationship with Joaquim.
In addition to focusing on her new romance, Gisele Bündchen continues to work on her mental health and stay active.
Gisele Bündchen Hits The Beach For A Round Of Tennis

The supermodel hit the beach in Miami, sporting a black crop top, black tennis skirt, and black baseball cap, as she played a friendly match of tennis alongside one of her friends.
Tennis is something that Gisele has incorporated into her life a lot lately. Earlier this year, she was seen hitting a tennis ball back and forth with her daughter, Vivian, as she sported a pair of gray leggings and a gray crew neck.
Her latest tennis matchup comes months after an insider told People Magazine, “[Gisele is so] busy with her life that she doesn’t have time to dwell on the negatives out there. " The source explained that she feels “secure and happy."

The supermodel wasn’t shy about breaking a sweat during her recent tennis workout, pulling her long locks into a ponytail and rocking a black baseball hat.
Fitness has been important to Gisele for years. She even shared her wellness routine with fans earlier this year. “I like to exercise outside: surfing, swimming, horseback riding, volleyball," she told the Wall Street Journal. "When I’m on holiday, I do more of that.”
Gisele told the outlet that she kicks off her mornings with “lukewarm water with a little lemon and Celtic salt.” For breakfast, she sticks to eggs, avocado, omelets, or frittatas, but “sometimes” opts for a smoothie. “I always make an almond paste to have some protein in there,” she said.

Earlier this month, she was spotted playing beach tennis with her new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, whom she started dating following her divorce from retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
“I think there are easier days than others, and I can only control what I do,” Gisele told Robin Roberts about how she is handling life post-divorce. "Where my heart is now is where I am right now. I’m living my truth, and I’m not apologizing for it."
Once the ultimate Hollywood power couple, Gisele and Tom decided to go their separate ways after endless rumors about their troubled relationship. Despite the breakup, they’re still dedicated to co-parenting their kids, Benjamin and Vivian, while both work on their own paths to emotional healing and personal growth.
"Sometimes, I get pushback, especially because now they’re in two different homes and there are two different ways," the supermodel told Harper's Bazaar. "But I feel like I owe it to my kids, because of what my mom taught me."

Gisele Bündchen and her new beau, Joaquim Valente, have a history that goes beyond their recent romance.
The pair were friends long before things turned romantic, vacationing together in Costa Rica back in November 2022 and January 2023. They’ve been an item since June 2023, but it wasn’t until March 2024 that Gisele publicly confirmed their relationship.
When speaking with The New York Times, the supermodel revealed, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”

“They’ve been dating since June. They’re taking it slow,” a source revealed to People Magazine. “They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other.”
“They started out as friends,” another insider told the outlet. “He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.”
“Joaquim is a great guy,” that same source added. “He is down to earth, kind, and inspiring. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It’s been very natural for her to date Joaquim.”
