Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s divorce shocked the sports and entertainment worlds in 2022 when they announced it.
For the longest time, the pair seemed like the perfect couple. One was the greatest football player of all time; the other was the most revered model of her generation. It seemed like a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, their union came crashing down.
There were a lot of theories regarding what led up to the split. Some accused Brady of mistreating Bundchen, there was chatter of issues in the bedroom, and some felt Brady’s NFL career was to blame.
One idea that really permeated through the larger cultural zeitgeist, however, was that Bundchen had developed feelings for her children’s jiu-jitsu teacher, Joaquim Valente.
Brady even seemingly hinted at it.

At one point Bundchen vehemently denied the rumors.
“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything,” she told Vanity Fair shortly following her divorce from Brady.
“I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially,” she said of Joaquim and his brothers Pedro and Gui, who run the Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu.
“He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”
This week, the Daily Mail spotted Bundchen passionately kissing Valente during their Valentine’s Day celebration:
So apparently there was something for Brady to be concerned about after all.
Will Brady come out and address this situation at some point? Time will tell.
