Joaquim Valente may be the luckiest man on the face of the Earth.
We learned (via Page Six) later this week that Valente exchanged vows in Sunrise, Florida on December 3 with Gisele Bündchen … arguably the most beautiful woman in the world.
According to TMZ, the couple got married at their home in a small ceremony.
Bündchen and Valente began dating in June 2023 following her previous divorce from football legend Tom Brady.
The former newlyweds welcomed a baby boy together in early 2025, a source told People Magazine at the time:
“Gisele and Joaquim are excited about this new chapter in their lives and look forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.”
In March 2024, Bündchen talked about her love with Valente … others she believes she cheated on Brady as well, although Gisele says this is “false.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who was my friend first,” said the model in an interview with the New York Times. “It’s very different. It’s very honest, and it’s very transparent.”

He is a jiu-jitsu instructor with a degree in criminology who has worked with Bündchen and her family for years.
He has an estimated net worth of $1 million and $5 million.
His Instagram account is private.
Gisele shared a rare photo of Valente on his birthday in November 2025. You can see it below and it included the caption: “Happy birthday @joaquimvalente! I love you!”
(Instagram)“Joaquim is a great guy,” People Magazine said inside months ago. “He is a down-to-earth, kind and encouraging person. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It was natural for him to fall in love with Joaquim.”
This person added:
“They come from similar backgrounds. Both left Brazil very young. Both have created amazing lives for themselves in the US. Both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. Both enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Gisele is in a good place. She’s happy and enjoying life a lot. Joaquim is good for her.”
As mentioned above, Bündchen gave birth to Valente’s son in February. The couple has not yet revealed the name of their little one.
He also has son Benjamin Rein, 15, and daughter Vivian Lake, 12, and Brady.
“Now that my baby is sleeping through the night, I’m back in control of my schedule,” said Gisele in an interview with Vogue France in May.
“As any new mom knows, it’s amazing how much sleep—or lack thereof—can change everything!
