Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has officially begun a new chapter in her life, marrying her longtime partner and jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony held in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, as first reported by TMZ. This development comes shortly after the pair welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in early 2025.
Tom Brady's Cryptic Social Media Reaction
Following the news of his ex-wife's wedding, NFL legend Tom Brady took to his Instagram Stories, sharing a series of posts that quickly captured public attention. One story, in particular, stood out and ignited a wave of concern among his fans. Brady shared the track "1-800-273-8255" by Logic, featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid, a song famously known for addressing mental health struggles and suicidal thoughts.
The lyrics of the song's pre-chorus and chorus, which include lines like "I don’t wanna be alive / I just wanna die today", led many followers to speculate about Brady's state of mind. It is worth noting that Brady later used the same song in another post featuring a photo of himself, leaving his intention behind the initial share unclear.
A Look at Bündchen and Valente's Relationship Timeline
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente's romance blossomed from a deep friendship. They were first spotted together in November 2022, and a source confirmed their relationship began in June 2023. Valente, described by insiders as a "down to earth, kind and inspiring" person, was a pillar of support for Bündchen during her divorce from Tom Brady.
"He was a huge comfort for her while she went through her divorce," a source revealed. The couple's journey expanded with the arrival of their son earlier this year, a pregnancy that was confirmed to PEOPLE in 2024. A source close to the supermodel shared at the time, "They are happy for this new chapter in their life."
Closing the Chapter on a High-Profile Marriage
Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady were one of the world's most celebrated couples. They were married for 13 years and share two children: son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13. Brady also has an older son, Jack, 17, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. Their divorce in 2022 marked the end of a significant era for both, with Bündchen now moving forward with Valente in a relationship that sources say felt "very natural" for her.
While fans dissect Tom Brady's social media activity, the focus remains on Bündchen and Valente, who have chosen to keep their personal life largely private. Their wedding in Florida signifies a fresh start, built on a foundation of friendship and mutual support.
