According to sources close to the couple, Valente played an important role during Bündchen’s divorce proceedings from Tom Brady. “Joaquim was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce,” an insider shared with People magazine. The former couple officially filed for divorce on October 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
By February 2024, multiple sources confirmed their blossoming romance and noted they “started out as great friends first.” The pair bonded over shared values, with insiders noting they come from similar backgrounds, both having left Brazil as young people to create successful lives in the United States.
What Makes This Relationship Work for the Supermodel?
Friends and sources close to Bündchen praise Valente as the ideal match for the accomplished model. “Joaquim is a great guy” one insider told People, describing him as “down to earth, kind and inspiring.” The source noted that Bündchen “was hesitant about dating after the divorce” but found it natural and comfortable to pursue a relationship with Valente.
The couple shares numerous compatible interests and lifestyle choices. Both love Miami but enjoy traveling, appreciate healthy living, and value similar family structures. An insider explained their connection: “They both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living. Gisele’s in a great space. She is happy and very much enjoying life. Joaquim is perfect for her.”
“They come from similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil very young. They have both created amazing lives for themselves in the U.S.”
