A new chapter for Gisele and Joaquim
Bündchen and Valente's relationship blossomed from a foundation of friendship. The duo was first seen together in November 2022, shortly after Bündchen's divorce from Brady was finalized. Their bond deepened over shared interests, including a passion for wellness and martial arts, with Valente being a Jiu-Jitsu instructor. By June 2023, their relationship had evolved into a romantic partnership, leading to the announcement of their pregnancy in October 2024. A source close to the couple noted, "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."
Throughout her pregnancy, Bündchen maintained a low profile, choosing to keep the news private for as long as possible. In the months leading up to the birth, she was occasionally spotted with Valente, including moments where she showcased her baby bump during beach outings in Costa Rica. The couple's decision to cherish these intimate times away from the public eye underscores their commitment to family privacy.
Gisele's journey through motherhood
As a mother, Bündchen has always prioritized the well-being of her children. With Benjamin and Vivian, she has emphasized the importance of a balanced lifestyle, incorporating healthy eating and mindfulness practices into their daily routines. Her approach to parenting reflects her broader philosophy of holistic health, a perspective she shares with Valente. The couple's shared values are expected to play a significant role in how they raise their new child.
