Gisele Bündchen has quietly entered a new chapter.
The supermodel married Joaquim Valente, with the couple tying the knot in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, according to marriage records.
While the celebration was kept out of the spotlight, a source told TMZ that the ceremony was small and deeply personal, taking place at the couple’s home.
How did Gisele Bündchen meet Joaquim Valente?
The 45-year-old first crossed paths with her new husband through her passion for jiu-jitsu, which he teaches. Though she initially dismissed speculation of romance, the bond between them gradually evolved.
Earlier this year, the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
A source told PEOPLE at the time: “Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.”
Friends close to the couple also told the outlet that Joaquim was a steady presence during a transitional period in the model’s life, offering support and calm following her highly publicised divorce from Tom Brady in 2022.
Why did Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady divorce?
Gisele and Tom were married for 13 years and share two children together- Benjamin Rein Brady and Vivian Lake Brady.
Speaking about the reason for their divorce, the Brazilian star told Harper’s Bazaar: “When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.”
“That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It’s a dance. It’s a balance,” she explained.
What do we know about Gisele and Joaquim’s relationship?
Those who know the couple say their connection is rooted in shared values, according to PEOPLE.
Both Gisele and Joaquim left Brazil at a young age and built successful lives in the United States. They share a love of Miami, wellness-focused living and travel, preferring meaningful experiences over public attention.
Unlike many celebrity romances, theirs has unfolded largely away from red carpets and headlines- a stark contrast to her marriage with Tom Brady.
