Gisele Bündchen Marries Joaquim Valente in Private Florida Ceremony
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has officially tied the knot with longtime partner Joaquim Valente, confirming a new chapter in her personal life. The Brazilian fashion icon and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor were married on December 3 in Surfside, Florida, according to marriage records obtained by PEOPLE. The news was first reported by Page Six.
As per a report from TMZ, the couple exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony held at their home, attended by close family members only. Representatives for Bündchen have not yet issued an official statement regarding the wedding.
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente Welcome Baby Before Wedding
The marriage follows another major milestone for the couple. Earlier in 2025, Bündchen and Valente welcomed their first child together, a baby boy. The supermodel, now 45, confirmed her pregnancy in October 2024, with sources close to her revealing the couple was “thrilled” to expand their family.
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and are focused on creating a peaceful, loving home for their family,” a source previously told PEOPLE.
The newborn joins Bündchen’s two children — son Benjamin Rein (15) and daughter Vivian Lake (12) — whom she shares with former NFL quarterback Tom Brady.
From Friendship to Romance
Bündchen and Valente’s relationship dates back to June 2023, though they were first seen together publicly in November 2022 during a family trip to Costa Rica. At the time, Bündchen denied any romantic involvement, explaining that Valente was simply her martial arts instructor.
However, their bond gradually evolved. In February 2024, insiders confirmed that the pair’s close friendship naturally turned into a romantic relationship.
“They started out as friends first. Gisele is very private and wanted to take things slowly,” a source shared.
Another insider revealed that Valente played a crucial role in supporting Bündchen during her divorce from Tom Brady, which was finalized in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
“Joaquim was a huge comfort for her. He’s kind, grounded, and inspiring,” the source said.
A Shared Journey and New Beginning
Sources close to the couple say they share similar life experiences, having both left Brazil at a young age to build successful lives in the United States. They reportedly enjoy Miami living, global travel, and a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
“Gisele is in a great place emotionally. She’s happy and enjoying life, and Joaquim fits perfectly into that,” an insider added.
With a growing family and a quiet wedding now behind them, Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are embracing married life away from the spotlight — on their own terms.
