Gisele Bündchen has quietly entered a new chapter.
The supermodel got married Joaquim Valente, with the couple tying the knot in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, according to marriage records.
While the celebration was kept out of the limelight, a source said TMZ that the ceremony was small and deeply personal, taking place at the couple's home.
How did Gisele Bündchen meet Joaquim Valente?
The 45-year-old first crossed paths with her new husband through her passion for jiu-jitsu, which he teaches. Although she initially dismissed romance speculation, the bond between them gradually evolved.
Earlier this year, the couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy.
A source told PEOPLE at the time: “Gisele and Joaquim are happy with this new chapter in their lives and they look forward to creating a calm and loving environment for the whole family.”
Friends close to the couple also said that Joaquim was a steady presence during a transitional period in the model's life, providing support and reassurance after her highly publicized divorce from Tom Brady in 2022.
Why did Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady divorce?
Gisele and Tom were married for 13 years and share two children together – Benjamin Rein Brady and Vivian Lake Brady.
Speaking about the reason for their divorce, the Brazilian star told Harper's Bazaar: “When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes on, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make.”
“That doesn't mean you don't love the person. It just means that in order to be authentic and truly live the life you want to live, you have to have someone who can meet you in the middle, right? It's a dance. It's a balance,” she explained.
What do we know about Gisele and Joaquim's relationship?
Those who know the couple say their connection is rooted in shared values, respectively PEOPLE.
Both Gisele and Joaquim left Brazil at a young age and built successful lives in the United States. They share a love of Miami, wellness-oriented living and travel, preferring meaningful experiences over public attention.
Unlike many celebrity romances, hers has largely unfolded away from red carpets and headlines – a stark contrast to her marriage to Tom Brady.
