Gisele Bündchen Is ‘Secure and Happy’ Amid Joaquim Valente Split Rumors

If you harbored any lingering doubts about Gisele Bündchen dumping Tom Brady’s after he tried and failed to retire from the NFL, well, worry not. She’s doing great.

Though there have been reports that the Brazilian supermodel and cookbook author split from her Jiu Jitsu instructor boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, the pair were recently photographed on an intimate stroll, and now, sources are saying Bündchen’s basically never been better. The former Victoria’s Secret angel “blossomed” since her Brady-ectomy, a source told People, adding, “She is secure and happy, and so busy with her life that she doesn’t have time to dwell on the negatives out there.” Translation: LOL, be well, bye.

Gisele Bündchen and Brady split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage and share a son and daughter. A year after the divorce, Bündchen told CBS News Sunday Morning, “I look into my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I wouldn’t have any other life.” As for the divorce, she revealed, “I mean, it’s not what I dreamed of and what I hoped for. My parents have been married for 50 years, and I really wanted that to happen. But I think you have to accept, you know, sometimes that the way you are in your 20s, it’s sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart.” She continued, “He’s the father of my kids. So I always wish him the best, and I’m so grateful that he gave me wonderful children, and I think when a door shuts, other doors open.”

The woman who is, by some calculations, the highest-paid supermodel of all time, recently wore a jungle cat printed body suit by Celine on a magazine cover, in case you were wondering what other doors she’s walking through. And Tom is like…well, there was the roast? He’s in Better Help commercials? Eh, you know what, may we all have a nice summer.
