Gisele Bundchen shows off toned body with jiu-jitsu instructor amid romance rumors

After a very public divorce from Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen has not commented on her personal life, but she is certainly making waves. After being spotted together in Miami on Saturday, the 42-year-old supermodel has fans wondering about the state of her relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

Are they friends, or is there more to it than that? The supermodel was out paddle boarding with Valente in a very cheeky black thong bikini that showed off her fit physique. (See the photos and video HERE.) She added a cute straw sunhat and black sunglasses to keep the sun at bay. The athletic duo moved a quite a clip through the water and they seemed to be having a good time together — there were plenty of laughs and smiles throughout their water workout.

Bundchen, 42, showed off her famous figure in a black bikini, while the fitness instructor flashed his muscular physique in olive green trunks. Both the former wife of Tom Brady and Valente made sure to shield their eyes from the sun, as seen in photos, with Bundchen opting for black shades and a hat while Valente wore a trucker cap.

The possible new couple was first linked in November 2022, mere weeks after Bundchen and Brady confirmed their split following 13 years of marriage, when Valente accompanied her and her kids: Benjamin and Vivian, during a trip to Costa Rica Bundchen addressed her relationship with Valente back in 2021, explaining in an interview: “It’s actually because of my son that I met Joaquim.”

“When I brought him to the first class and started talking with Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense. I became really interest [in] the philosophy,” the mother-of-two continued of the passion she felt after learning from her attractive instructor. “It felt very much in line with what I believe in and look for in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.”
