Gisele Bundchen & Joaquim Valente currently have ‘no plans for marriage’

Not even a month ago, Gisele Bundchen confirmed that she’s expecting her third child, first with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Gisele is 44 years old and just two years past her divorce from Tom Brady. I still think this pregnancy was probably a surprise for her and Joaquim. While many are focused on how Tom Brady is doing (he’s listening to “Landslide”), we need to go back to Gisele and Joaquim. They were friends first, he was a shoulder to cry on when she was going through the divorce, and it definitely seems like he’s the only person she’s dated post-divorce. But sources want people to know that they’re not rushing into marriage!

Gisele Bündchen and boyfriend Joaquim Valente are staying true to themselves and not letting Bündchen’s pregnancy rush them down the wedding aisle.

“They’re deeply committed to each other, but there are currently no plans for marriage,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, noting that the couple “aren’t talking about marriage” right now.

Although Bündchen, 44, and Valente, 37, have been living together since shortly after they started dating in summer 2023 — and are now expecting their first baby together — they reportedly aren’t in a rush to tie the knot.

“They’re in love and happy,” the insider says. “But right now, marriage is not on top of their to-do list.”

The source noted that both Bündchen and the jiu jitsu trainer are “happy about the pregnancy,” which is their focus.

Although Bündchen’s pregnancy surprised some fans given her recent split from retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, the insider tells Us that her ex-husband is at peace with the news. “He wants to see her happy,” the source says of Brady, pointing out that the former football player, 47, and Bündchen remain amicable following their October 2022 split. “They maintain a coparenting relationship that’s solely focused on their children’s well-being.”

I’m not surprised that Gisele seems reluctant to marry Joaquim. It’s not even about him, it’s about how she probably feels like she just got out of her first marriage and she’s not eager to jump into another one. Many divorced women are not eager to remarry – it’s a real thing, that once they’ve had one husband, they never want another one. Meanwhile, most divorced men remarry very quickly. That’s what has surprised me about Tom Brady – he hasn’t found some young blonde who wants to be a wife/influencer. Usually this situation is reversed – it would be Tom getting a girlfriend pregnant while Gisele enjoys her post-divorce peace.

    Tom is obsessed with himself but I don’t think he’s that. I think he thinks he’s in love with Gisele and that he’s still shocked that she was over it and walked away. He probably thought Gisele was like his mother, loyal and devoted to her husband no matter what. Maybe even like Gisele’s mom.

    I think Bridget is/ was more like this than Gisele. Oh well…you win some you lose some.

    Her hair looks gorgeous in these shots.👍

    Don’t marry Gisele. Keep your coins.

    TB’s first love has and will always be football. In saying that, he will never get over the speed at which Gisele moved on without so much as a backward glance.

    Trying to find a woman, young or his age, who will put up with him not being around emotionally and physically while keeping house is going to be tough.

    As for Gisele, I think Joaquim is going to 100% be a hands on father. Something TB never was.

      As is the case with most top level athletes, artists, musicians, actors etc. Sport and arts are self focusing by definition if one wants to be successful at the top level so either the partner needs to be an outsider willing to be support or it rarely works for long. Having said that, Tom’s partner wouldn’t be doing much given she’d have staff for everything. The main reason most regular men rush to remarry is to have someone do the work that Tom’s hired house staff does. Otherwise they could simply date but then they’d need to do the work themselves.

    Surprise pregnancy isn’t a real thing at 44. You can’t be using BC at 44 and surprise. So they were probably like if it happens great, if not great (maybe no great and G probably wanted to have/provide a baby). Hope they continue to be happy and love their best lives

      I had a surprise pregnancy at 38, it happens.

      • Meredith says:

        I easily became pregnant at 39, but I wasn’t using birth control. And I would not expect, based on ease of conception at 39, the same at 44– those 5 years are likely to involve a huge decrease in fertility. That’s just science.

  5. DeepSigh says:

    This is the playbook of smart women who have married very successful men then divorced. If the new guy isn’t as successful or doesn’t have even more money than her, why on earth would she marry him?

    Please see Elin Nordegren. After Tiger she dated a couple of billionaires and realized she’d been there, done that. She then found a younger,sexy guy and started having babies with him. No marriage. She gets the best of both worlds but she is definitely the one with the coins.

    • Meredith says:

      Even if he was equally rich, once you have kids you need to protect their future inheritance. Remarriage makes that substantially more complicated, although it can be accomplished with lots of lawyering (which isn’t very romantic!)

    • NikkiK says:

      I think Elin is remarried. I think she got married before her fifth child was born.
