Why Gisele Bündchen Thought 'Getting Married' To Jiu-Jitsu Instructor Boyfriend Was ‘Right’ Choice

Gisele Bündchen has found love again, and this time, it’s here to stay.

​The Brazilian supermodel recently got married to Joaquim Valente in a small ceremony at Surfside and is said to be happier than she has ever been.

​News of her marriage to Valente came three years after she finalized her divorce from former NFL Quarterback, Tom Brady.

Following the news of Bündchen's intimate wedding to her Jiu-Jitsu instructor, an insider revealed that the supermodel is “happy to be married again.”

The source explained, “Gisele is happy and in love, and getting married was in her plans — the timing just had to be right. She didn’t want anything over the top or made public so they could enjoy the day, each other and the family.”

​The insider also noted that Bundchen’s life is going smoothly now, as the marriage couldn't have come at a better time.

​“Everything has fallen into place for her, and she is fulfilled. Those close to her are so happy for her. Getting married was right,” the source added, according to People Magazine.​

Despite being happy in her newfound love life, Bundchen has no desire to publicise her marriage to the world.

​The source revealed that she is “tired of all of the attention on her private life, but [she and Valente] are both so happy being together and being new parents."

The informant noted that the lovebirds made a joint decision to keep things super low-key. "They are best friends with a lot in common and are so excited about everything,” the insider said.

​The source added that Bundchen is now focused on doing things her way, without outside influences. As such, she wanted to have a “small, private non-event” to celebrate her marriage, and that was what she had.

​For now, the activist is happy to be a mom and is focusing on her kids. She shares two children with her ex, Tom Brady, and one with her husband, Valente.

True to her word, Bündchen’s desire to remain low-key was reflected in the private wedding ceremony she had a few weeks ago.

​According to The Blast, their wedding took place in early December, and there were only a few close family and friends in attendance. They obtained a marriage license on December 1 and were married two days later.

​The duo didn't publicise their marriage ceremony as they didn't share any photos online. Only those in their inner circle were aware of the event.

​Bündchen and Valente first sparked dating rumors in 2022, but a source later confirmed that they initially started as close friends.

Although the model was hesitant to date again after her divorce from Brady, she found a great connection with Valente and eventually opened up her heart to him.

Despite Bündchen’s initial hesitation to enter a new relationship following her split from Brady, she was able to find happiness again.

Brady, on the other hand, seemed to be going through a difficult time amid Bündchen’s new relationship.

​Shortly after news of her wedding surfaced, the former NFL player shared a cryptic post on Instagram, featuring song choices that suggested he wasn't too happy to see his ex move on.

The Blast reported that he shared pictures of himself on Instagram, with Logic's 2017 song "1-800-273-825" playing in the background.

The song choice raised eyebrows because it is known to contain bleak lyrics about struggling with negative emotions.​

While Brady seemed to be dealing with negative emotions about his divorce, Bundchen was lost in her newfound love life with Valente. Months after welcoming a child with Valente, she splurged on a new home in Miami.

​According to The Blast, the property is a six-bed home with a private spa and high-end amenities. It features a scenic landscape, palm trees, a swimming pool, and a private dock.

​Her new home is reportedly located near her ex-husband’s home, as he resides on Indian Creek Island. She is also neighbors with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, with whom she has been spotted enjoying numerous outings.
