More than a Bündchen buddy

GISELE Bündchen and jujitsu trainer Joaquim Valente are in love, according to sources, and were seen kissing on Valentine’s Day in their Miami neighborhood, Page Six has learned.

“They’re deeply in love,” said an insider, adding that the couple stays together regularly. The source said they were locking lips Wednesday night.

Supermodel Bündchen told Vanity Fair in a cover story last year that Valente is “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.”

Valente has been regularly photographed with Bündchen — including multiple trips to Costa Rica (below), as well as the duo’s native Brazil — and her kids since her divorce from retired superstar quarterback Tom Brady in October 2022.

But another source sniffed that the “love” talk is a little overblown. Bündchen and Valente have “discreetly been seeing each other since the summer,” the source said.

The two do decidedly couple-y activities, though. On their family vacation-style travels, Valente has been paddle boarding, strolling on the beach, jogging, riding horses and hitting the gym with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, as well as picking her up from the airport.

When they were first seen together, just two weeks after her divorce was finalized, a source told People that Valente “and his two brothers are Gisele and the kids’ martial arts teachers. They are not dating.”

An insider claimed to Page Six that the pair have been together for at least a year, saying they’ve been seen leaving each other’s places and walking her dog together in South Florida.

Bündchen also told Vanity Fair last year of the rumors about Valente: “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.”
