Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente are married! The Brazilian fashion model and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor tied the knot in a ceremony in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, according to marriage records reviewed by PEOPLE. TMZ was first to report the news. A representative for Bündchen did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Bündchen, 45, and Valente previously welcomed a baby boy together in early 2025, according to reports. A source close to Gisele confirmed her pregnancy to PEOPLE on October 28, 2024, saying the pair are “happy for this new chapter in their life.”
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” a source told PEOPLE in a statement at the time.
Bündchen and Valente have been dating since June 2023. The pair were first spotted together in November 2022, when they visited Provincia de Puntarenas, a province located on Costa Rica’s coast, with her two kids.
Initially, the model denied a romantic relationship with her trainer, but a love connection later blossomed between the two. In February 2024, a source confirmed Bündchen and Valente’s relationship to PEOPLE, noting that their friendship had turned into something more romantic.
“They started out as great friends first. She’s very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other,” a source said at the time.
A second source echoed these sentiments, noting that Valente “was a huge comfort” for Bündchen “while she went through her divorce” with Tom Brady.
Bündchen and the former NFL star filed for divorce on October 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
“Joaquim is a great guy,” the insider added. “He is down to earth, kind, and inspiring. Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It’s been very natural for her to date Joaquim.”
