Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has found love again with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, embracing a new chapter in her life. At 44, Gisele announced her pregnancy with her first child with Valente, a 35-year-old Brazilian athlete, just two years after her high-profile divorce from NFL star Tom Brady.

According to Life and Style magazine, Gisele’s relationship with Joaquim felt effortless from the start. "Everything seemed natural and organic," a close source shares. After her painful and “toxic divorce,” Gisele wasn’t sure she would ever experience this kind of connection again, but now she lovingly calls Joaquim her "soulmate." The couple is reportedly planning a private wedding in Miami, far from the public eye.

Gisele, who is already five to six months pregnant, intends to give birth in the comfort of her Florida mansion, where she also welcomed her two children, Benjamin (14) and Vivian (11), with Tom Brady. The supermodel is focused on her baby’s health, though she secretly hopes for a daughter, having grown up with five sisters.

Joaquim, who is also from Brazil, has quickly bonded with Gisele’s children. Since 2021, they have trained with him in jiu-jitsu, strengthening their connection. What began as a friendship blossomed into romance during the summer of 2023. Gisele describes their relationship as “honest” and “transparent.”

Before sharing the pregnancy news publicly, Gisele informed Tom out of respect for their children. Tom’s emotional post on social media, featuring a sunset and the song Landslide, fueled speculation about his feelings. An insider reveals that Tom is "furious with himself," questioning whether he could have saved their marriage.

Comedian Jeff Ross, who joked about Tom in a roast earlier this year, quipped, "When’s part two?" However, Gisele didn’t appreciate the jokes. She vehemently denied rumors of infidelity, calling them a “lie.”

Now, Gisele is focused on her happiness and future with Joaquim. “Her relationship with Joaquim has been a breath of fresh air after the divorce,” says a source. “Becoming a mother again is a dream come true for Gisele.”
