From the best we could tell, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady were basically separated and quietly going through a divorce mediation for much of 2022. As soon as Tom decided to play one more year, Gisele was done. She dealt with it all in a pretty straight-forward manner which I admired – she was simply ready to move on and she was tired of being married to such a selfish bonehead. Gisele and Tom finalized their divorce in October 2022. The next month, Gisele was seen out on a date with her jiu-jitsu instructor and friend Joaquim Valente. They’ve basically been together ever since then, although Gisele later claimed that they were just friends for a long time and then it turned into something more. Some people theorized that Gisele started up with Joaquim while she was still married. I honestly don’t know! But In Touch Weekly claims that Gisele and Joaquim are dunzo.
Gisele Bündchen’s romance with her jiujitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, seems to be fizzling.
Joaquim, 36, was last seen at the Brazilian supermodel’s Bal Harbour, Florida, home on April 26, sparking speculation that the couple has put their relationship on pause.
“The spotlight was too much for him,” says a source. “Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting.”
Tom Brady’s Netflix roast certainly didn’t help matters, either. “Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce. He hated that.”
Gisele, 43, was really upset with her ex-husband, 46. “She blames the break on Tom,” says the source. “By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.”
Ah, that’s another reason why Gisele was so mad about the roast – there were jokes about Joaquim and the divorce, etc. I get that and I think it probably was a factor. But the larger issue is surely that Joaquim is “a regular guy” who has no idea how to navigate a relationship with one of the most famous models/celebrities in the world? And if Joaquim is getting cold feet over a Netflix roast… he’s not a keeper. He’s not a ride-or-die. You could do better, Gisele!

That’s a beautiful dog 🥰
It is a gorgeous dog! At least she has a fluffy ride-or-die to hang with.
Has there been a spotlight and a lot of attention? I hardly ever see her name mentioned.
I didn’t think he was getting that much attention? But she does get papped and I could see how an average Joe kind of guy like him would not like that. And after the roast he was just like I am done, I’m not a joke and I’ve had enough of these celebrity shenanigans. It’s a whole different world and people don’t play by the same rules. Even if they weren’t officially dating/messing around before Tom and Gisele broke up, there was clearly an affair of the heart going on, especially given how quickly Gisele moved on.
I think they had an “emotional” affair before it became physical. I do think he got more notoriety after the relationship became news and then the roast gone the way it did. Not long after that, Ivana Trump was taking her kids to him for lessons, which I thought was rather interesting.
I think ‘unwanted attention’ as an argument only shows that whoever is talking might have no idea of why/if they might be headed to break up.
Gisele has mostly laid low since the split, but for news about her purchasing a couple of houses. Perhaps having been pointed at as a suspected homewrecker in relation with a client has earned him a bad professional reputation. But again, breaking up with Gisele in the roast’s aftermath only makes him look guiltier. If they’re really separating, it might well be bc of different lifestyles and aspirations, or bc Gisele is the one done with him.
