Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Since then, both have been linked to new partners, with Bundchen recently confirming that she is dating Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.
The former Victoria's Secret model told People magazine that the couple have been dating since June 2023 and are taking it slow.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen knew Joaquim Valente for a few years before their divorce. He has been their children's Jiu-Jitsu instructor for many years and last year, Bundchen stated that he had also become her instructor.
Valente has traveled with Bundchen and her children to Costa Rica and Brazil a few times since her and Tom Brady's divorce. At the time, she brushed off dating rumors by saying they were just friends.
