Gisele Bündchen has quietly embarked on her next chapter of life, tying the knot with her fiancé Joaquim Valente in a private, intimate ceremony.
The supermodel, known for her iconic career and high-profile marriage to football legend Tom Brady, has now officially become a wife for the second time.
The ceremony took place at their home in Surfside, Florida, according to a marriage license viewed by the Daily Mail.
The license was issued on December 1, and the couple exchanged vows two days later, on December 3.
Despite the hush-hush nature of the event, a few family members reportedly attended, making it private but not entirely secret.
From Jiu-Jitsu Academy to Lifelong Partnership
Bündchen and Valente first crossed paths in December 2021 when she and her children began attending classes at the Valente Brothers jiu-jitsu academy in Brazil.
Valente, who initially worked as the family’s jiu-jitsu instructor, quickly became more than a friend.
By June 2023, reports suggested the two were dating, though they kept their relationship under the radar.
In February 2024, Bündchen publicly confirmed their romance while discussing her cookbook, Nourish, with the New York Times, describing Valente as a friend first and emphasizing the honesty and transparency in their bond.
She also clarified that their relationship began only after her divorce from Brady was finalized.
A Growing Family
The wedding comes just after the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, on February 5, 2025.
While the couple hasn’t officially announced his name, sources suggest his middle name might be River — continuing Bündchen’s pattern of water-themed middle names for her children, following Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake from her marriage to Brady.
Valente reportedly couldn’t be happier about their marriage after sharing the joys of parenthood together.
Bündchen herself is also a mother to Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, from her previous marriage.
Back to Brazil in Style
Following the Surfside wedding, Bündchen returned to Brazil, where both she and Valente were born, to attend a Vivara jewelry event in São Paulo.
She sported a long-sleeved dress that cleverly concealed her left hand, leaving fans guessing whether she was flaunting her wedding ring.
Though the home ceremony was kept mostly private, insiders told TMZ that some close family members did attend, making it a warm, personal celebration rather than a public spectacle.
Love and Privacy in the Spotlight
Gisele Bündchen’s love story with Valente unfolds against a backdrop of intense public scrutiny.
Her divorce from Tom Brady in October 2022 was swift, reportedly finalized the same day after months of behind-the-scenes negotiations.
Despite the public interest in her personal life, Bündchen has maintained a remarkably low profile with Valente, only gradually sharing glimpses of their relationship.
As the supermodel embraces marriage, motherhood, and her personal life in Brazil, fans are left to celebrate a new chapter that blends privacy, love, and family.
With her new role as a wife and mother to three children, Bündchen seems poised to enjoy the quiet, joyful moments that have so far defined this chapter of her life.
