Pregnant Gisele Bundchen, Boyfriend Joaquim Valente Spotted in Miami
Pregnant Gisele Bündchen and boyfriend Joaquim Valente were spotted out and about together for the first time since news broke that they are expecting their first baby together.
They were seen at lunch in Miami with Bündchen’s children, Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. (Bündchen is also stepmother to Brady’s eldest son, Jack, 17, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.)
Valente looked casual in a black T-shirt, shorts and sneakers while the supermodel, 44, went for an incognito look in a white baseball cap. Bündchen also donned a large white button-down shirt — which hid her baby bump — and gray cargo pants. She accessorized with a beige, woven bag and brown flip-flops.
The joint outing comes one week after Bündchen’s pregnancy was revealed. Bündchen was first seen with a baby bump while running errands solo on Halloween. She wore a little black dress that revealed the outline of her growing belly.
Following the happy news, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the couple were overjoyed.
“Gisele and Joaquim have been living together for over a year now, and expanding their family is something they’re very excited about,” the insider told Us. “Once the divorce was finalized, they moved in together very quickly and have been linked at the hip ever since.”
Bündchen was friends with the jiu-jitsu instructor for several years. Their relationship turned romantic in the summer of 2023 — several months after Bündchen and Brady broke up.
The retired NFL star, 47, and Bündchen announced their divorce in October 2022 following 13 years of marriage.
“We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together,” Brady wrote via Instagram at the time. “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve.”
After she and Valente started dating the following year, an insider told Us that they grew closer as Bündchen worked through the split.
“Joaquim was there for Gisele through her divorce, as a friend, and they turned romantic this past summer,” a source told Us in February, adding that Valente and Bündchen share “similar lifestyles,” prioritizing their health.
The following month, she denied rumors that she cheated on Brady. “That is a lie,” she told The New York Times in March. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful. They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
She emphasized that she had a friendship with the trainer before dating — a new experience for her. “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she told the NYT. “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.”
