Who is Gisele Bündchen dating?
On Nov. 14, 2022, several outlets spotted Gisele out to dinner in Costa Rica with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, who reportedly lives in Miami. The duo was having dinner at Koji in Provincia de Puntarenas with Gisele's kids Benjamin and Vivian in tow. Also in attendance was Joaquim's co-trainer Jordan, according to Page Six.
Despite the pair looking cozy together, multiple sources are claiming that rumors of a romantic relationship are "totally false." A source told Page Six, "Joaquim and his two brothers have instructed Gisele and the children in martial arts for the past year and a half." The source added that the relationship between Joaquim and Gisele is "strictly platonic and professional.”
A second insider told the outlet, "Jordan and Joaquim travel with the family when they’re out of town because the kids are homeschooled."
Eagle-eyed fans might recall seeing Joaquim on Gisele's Instagram page on Feb. 23, 2022, when she explained that taking up self-defense was "empowering" especially as a woman.
Another source told Fox News Digital of the romance rumors, "None of it's true. This is the kids' and Gisele's longtime martial arts teacher. There's no truth to any dating rumors."
A third source told TMZ that the vacation included a total of "six adults and eight kids," saying that Gisele wasn't on vacation with the Valente brothers alone, and that she has "many friends" in the area who joined in the fun.
It sounds like despite the rumors, Gisele was on a family outing, not a date. Hopefully, when she does choose to move on, fans will be the first to know! In the meantime, she has reflected about her marriage and divorce.
Gisele wouldn't change anything about her life.
In an interview on CBS News airing Sept. 24, 2023, Gisele opened up about her relationship with her ex. She noted that despite how things turned out, she wouldn't change anything about her life.
In fact, Gisele says that she wishes the father of her children the best, and believes that while a lasting marriage like her parents have is a beautiful thing, people can grow apart.
Ultimately, the beauty adds that when one door closes, another opens. Could she be referring to her love life? Her fans will have to wait and see.
