Gisele Bündchen was seen getting cozy with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente after reports surfaced that they had split due to stress from jokes about their relationship at a roast of her ex-husband Tom Brady. The photos obtained by Page Six show the supermodel and her jiu-jitsu trainer walking her dog in their neighborhood in Surfside, Fla., with Bündchen keeping her arms around Valente as they hugged. They dressed casually for the outing, with Bündchen wearing a white tank top and low-waist cargo pants while Valente sported a blue T-shirt and black shorts.
Sources revealed that the spotlight was too much for Valente, a regular guy not used to the attention he was receiving due to his relationship with Bündchen. Things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse after they became the subject of jokes at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast last month. Valente became uncomfortable with the attention and jokes directed at him, including speculation that he was the reason for Bündchen’s divorce from Brady. However, the roast hurt Bündchen because she felt Brady prioritized football over his family.
The roast by comedians Kevin Hart and Nikki Glaser at Brady’s Netflix special included jokes about Brady’s divorce and new relationship with Bündchen’s karate trainer. Brady admitted that he regretted participating in the roast after seeing how it affected his children. He stated that the experience was a good lesson for him as a parent and vowed to be a better parent going forward because of it. The former NFL star shares three children with Bündchen and Jack, 16, with Bridget Moynahan, whom he dated before Bündchen.
Brady and Bündchen divorced in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage, with Bündchen feeling hurt by the roast and Brady putting football before his family. Despite the challenges they have faced, Bündchen and Valente were seen together, showing that they are still going strong despite the rumors of their split. The couple seems to have weathered the storm caused by the roast and are moving forward with their relationship. The incident serves as a reminder of the public scrutiny celebrities face and how it can impact personal relationships. Overall, Bündchen and Valente seem determined to overcome any obstacles and continue to build a happy and healthy relationship together.
