Gisele Bundchen’s Divorce From Tom Brady Is Good For Her As She Is Happier With Her New Partner, Joaquim Valente
After being sighted vacationing in Costa Rica with Joaquim Valente, Gisele Bundchen seemed to be ready to move on from her relationship with former NFL player Tom Brady.
After rumored arguments over the quarterback’s choice to come out of retirement in his 40s, the Brazilian Bundchen and the New England Patriots star filed for divorce in October 2022.
She was sighted in the tropical country of Costa Rica with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Valente, and her children from her previous relationship with Brady. It appears that she is currently getting cozy with a new man.

The four of them were seen eating lunch together on Wednesday, November 22. She was wearing black high-waisted shorts and a ruffled bra top, while Valente was dressed in black shorts and a navy blue top.
They were also seen on the beach the morning before, so it appears that the group spent many days in the nation, which is located 3182 miles from her Florida home and 3589 miles from Rio de Janeiro, the capital of her native Brazil.
The couple has been close for a number of years; Gisele Bundchen receives instruction from Valente in the marital arts discipline, and the couple is seen exercising together in Miami during the summer, indicating that Valente is a trustworthy confidant for the model.

Bundchen and Valente had traveled to Costa Rica and were seen paddle-boarding in Florida earlier in the spring, so they are no strangers to traveling near the equator.
For what reason is Bundchen taking jiu-jitsu training?
Within the MMA community, the technique is well-liked for its usefulness in grappling, kicking, and striking. Additional advantages include improved hip and shoulder mobility, training for endurance, stability and control, and strength in the upper body.
Although Bundchen admitted she was initially skeptical, she has since completely embraced the idea and is urging her kids to do the same.

“Initially I wasn’t even considering it for myself, to be honest with you,” She explained her motivation for practicing jiu-jitsu to Dust magazine in 2022. “But when I brought him to the first class and started talking with Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense and became interested in the philosophy.
