Gisele Bündchen, the supermodel and ex–wife of Tom Brady, was recently spotted in Costa Rica with her jiu–Jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. This sparked rumors of the two being on romantic terms in November 2022. The couple was seen having dinner together and later strolling with Gisele Bündchen’s kids.

Insiders and sources have confirmed that they are not in a romantic relationship and Valente is just a close family friend. However, a lot of people doubt this statement of theirs. On Tuesday, Gisele and Valente were seen on horses during a getaway in Costa Rica, making the rumors more believable.

A source close to Gisele said that the supermodel is “supercharged about her career in the next few months. She is busy making decisions and feels happy and more settled than she has in a long time.”

The source also added that Gisele and Valente have a deep personal relationship, that of a teacher and student. But no one knows if it will ever be more than that.

Gisele and Brady’s divorce in October 2022 was due to the fact that Brady decided to unretire and continue playing in the NFL. This decision caused a rift between the couple and Gisele wanted to be heard.

Brady on the other hand was too busy with his football career to be as attentive as he should have been.

Despite the reason behind their divorce, Brady and Gisele seem to be in a much better place now. Brady is dealing with questions about his retirement while Gisele has seemingly found peace in her life.
