Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, were spotted looking cozy during a stroll in Surfside, Florida, despite recent reports of a split due to stress from Tom Brady’s roast. Photos captured by Page Six show the supermodel and her jiu-jitsu trainer enjoying each other’s company while walking her dog on a sunny Saturday afternoon as per page six.
Bündchen, 43, appeared relaxed in a white tank top, low-waist cargo pants, and flip-flops. Valente complemented her casual style with a blue T-shirt and black shorts. The couple’s affectionate behavior, with Bündchen wrapping her arm around Valente’s shoulder and him holding her waist, suggested a strong bond.
The couple’s public display of affection comes on the heels of an insider’s revelation to InTouch Weekly that Valente, a relatively private individual, struggled with the sudden spotlight. The increased attention, particularly after the Tom Brady roast, reportedly took a toll on their relationship. The source indicated that Valente was uncomfortable with the public scrutiny and jokes that emerged, especially those linking him to the end of Bündchen’s marriage to Brady.
During the Netflix roast, comedians Kevin Hart and Nikki Glaser made Valente the subject of their jokes, which did not sit well with him. This public ribbing led to speculation about his role in Bündchen and Brady’s divorce, adding more stress to their relationship. Hart’s and Glaser’s jokes, while intended as humor, reportedly exacerbated Valente’s discomfort with his newfound celebrity status.
The former NFL star’s participation in the roast inadvertently added fuel to the fire. Brady’s decision to join the roast, which included jabs at his former marriage and Bündchen’s new relationship, left Bündchen feeling hurt and betrayed. The source claimed that this incident made Valente a target, further straining his relationship with Bündchen.
Despite these challenges, Bündchen and Valente’s recent outing suggests they are navigating through the turmoil together. Their public unity counters the narrative of a breakup and indicates they are finding ways to manage the external pressures on their relationship.
Bündchen and Brady, who share two children, divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. The former couple’s split and Brady’s involvement in the roast have had a ripple effect on Bündchen’s new relationship, showcasing the complexities of moving on in the public eye.
