By the way, in Miami yesterday morning, the paparazzi captured Gisele with a telephoto lens.
She was riding a bicycle, wearing a gray sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, and a white baseball cap pulled down low. There was a baby chair strapped to the front seat of the car, and sitting in it was a baby wearing a green coat and a black safety helmet on his head.
What is worth noting is the simple ring on her left ring finger.

The ring on Giselle’s left hand comes from her second husband. And this new husband is not an entrepreneur, not a Hollywood star, not any celebrity you can name.
He is her son’s Jiu-Jitsu coach.

On December 1, 2025, a new couple was added to the marriage registration records of the Miami court: Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente. A few days later, they held a very private wedding in the backyard of their Florida home.
There are no churches, no red carpets, no elaborate blockbusters. A notary officiated, and family and a handful of friends were present, including her two children with ex-husband Brady, 16-year-old Benjamin and 13-year-old Vivian.
No photos were leaked, there was no official announcement on social media, and the confidentiality measures were very good.
It wasn’t until December 19 that the gossip media dug out this record from the public marriage registration file, and the news of Gisele’s marriage was not announced.
Sources told People magazine that Gisele is fed up with the excessive attention on her personal life. A small, intimate wedding was what she wanted.

Another source put it more bluntly:
“She said Joaquim was her soul mate and best friend. She had the man of her dreams, a child and she felt like she lacked nothing.”
Because on February 26, 2009, when Gisele married Tom Brady, it was so luxurious.
A ceremony was held at Santa Monica Catholic Church, followed by another in Costa Rica. Forbes ranks the two as the world’s highest-paid celebrity couple, with a combined net worth of more than $700 million.

After experiencing such a grand wedding, this time it was just a simple one in my own backyard. Whether it was a new partner or a wedding, it seemed to have been “downgraded” in a secular sense.
Even in many media narratives, Joaquim is simply and crudely described as Gisele’s Jiu-Jitsu coach, or her young boyfriend. In a subtle way, this is a marriage relationship with great disparity in status.
But many people who broke the news said that this was the happiest time for Gisele in so many years.

Gisele’s new partner is Joaquim Valente, her son’s jiu-jitsu coach. He was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1988. He is 37 years old and 8 years younger than Gisele.
And Joaquim is not just a simple jiu-jitsu coach.
His maternal great-grandfather was named Estácio Coimbra;He served as mayor of Olinda, governor of Pernambuco state, and vice president of Brazil from 1922 to 1926. He had a very high social status in Brazil.
The origins of their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be traced back to 1953. Joaquim’s maternal great-grandfather sent his father to Gracie Academy, and the Gracie family is the founding family of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Joaquim’s father also became a direct disciple and lifelong friend of one of the founders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Joaquim has been training under Grandmaster Elio Gracie since he was two years old. In 2007, he received a professor’s diploma from Master Gracie. In the past 75 years, only 27 people in the world have received this honor.
Joaquim and his two brothers opened the Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Miami Beach. The list of students includes FBI agents, Secret Service agents, and the Miami Police Department.
This fate began in December 2021. At that time, Gisele took her eldest son Benjamin, who was about to enter puberty, to learn jiu-jitsu. She later recalled that she never thought about practicing at first. But when she took Benny to her first class and chatted with Joaquim, Giselle realized there was much more to it than just self-defense.
Then she signed up herself.
This is where the story begins. What happened next has been followed by gossip media around the world for several years.

On October 28, 2022, Gisele and Brady filed for divorce and completed the judgment on the same day. A marriage of 13 years ended neatly.
Just two weeks later, Gisele was photographed dining with Joaquim in Costa Rica. As soon as the scene came out, public opinion exploded, and she quickly put out the fire.
At that time, some insiders told the gossip media that the relationship between Gisele and Joaquim was a pure friendship and that they were her children’s Jiu-Jitsu teachers. It was impossible for the two to fall in love!
But in January 2023, the two were photographed running together in Costa Rica. In March, a photo of the two on the beach was exposed.
When Gisele was interviewed by Vanity Fair in person, her words were slightly flashy:
“I think that at this juncture, because I am divorced, the media will definitely pick up the pieces. Joaquim is our teacher and someone I admire and trust.”
If this statement is a bit subtle, then in February 2024, “People” magazine quoted insiders’ revelations and gave a final conclusion.
(Giselle and Joaquim)
The source said that they started dating in June 2023 and turned from good friends into lovers. Gisele guarded the relationship very carefully. On Valentine’s Day, the two went on an intimate trip in Miami.
It was not until March 2024 that Gisele herself finally admitted in an interview with the New York Times:
“This is the first time I’ve been in a relationship with someone who was a friend first. It’s very different. Very sincere, very open.”
At the same time, she bluntly and bravely countered the rumors that she had cheated:
“That’s nonsense. Many women are accused of being unfaithful after they work up the courage to leave unhealthy relationships. It’s all too common.”
In October 2024, Gisele confirmed her pregnancy. In early February 2025, a baby boy was born.
Gisele gave the child an undisclosed name, but the middle name was River.
In January 2026, Gisele was photographed wearing a gold letter necklace with four letters hanging on it: J (husband Joaquim), B (eldest son Benjamin), V (daughter Vivian),A. This A is most likely the first letter of the younger son’s name.

On January 28, she posted 15 photos on Instagram to celebrate her son’s first birthday. The baby, dad, brothers, sisters and grandpa all appeared.
The caption read: “I can’t believe it’s been a year since you came into our lives. Thank God for everything.”
After the divorce, Gisele has obviously started a completely different life from before, happy and low-key.

Ordinary life, simple wedding, this is also the most obvious change after Gisele left Brady.In her previous marriage, she had to accommodate the schedule of an NFL superstar and live under endless spotlight and public attention.
But this time, she seemed to just want someone to be with, running barefoot on the beach in Costa Rica and sweating on the jujitsu mat. Accompanying me is a truly “present” husband and father.

But Brady is not idle either.
On December 31, 2025, at a yacht New Year’s Eve party on the Caribbean island of St. Barts, 48-year-old Tom Brady was photographed sticking together with a 25-year-old girl. The two behaved very intimately, and the girl put her hand on Brady’s back, caressing it up and down, and spoke in his ear.

Some media obtained video of the party. The two danced and chatted and revealed that they didn’t leave each other’s side the entire night. Anonymous sources say Brady doesn’t want to leave her side. But another whistleblower insists they are not going any further.
Earle himself said calmly on YouTube: “This may be the best trip in my life. It’s all new friends and new memories.”

The girl’s name is Alix Earle. He is an Internet celebrity with more than 8 million fans on Yangdou. She is very good at establishing a persona on the Internet, taking the route of an “imperfect goddess”.
Earle was born in 2000 to a wealthy builder’s family in the United States. She knows what young people like to watch: they both yearn for a luxurious life and want to see rich people making fools of themselves. Some of the content she posts fits this point very well.
For example, before attending a high-end dinner party, she would show off her acne-covered face without makeup. She would also vomit into the toilet after a hangover, then put on makeup and go out to continue the party. This “Hot Mess” style has attracted many fans.
There is a 23-year age difference between her and Brady. Brady was in kindergarten when she won her first Super Bowl. Brady is almost as old as her 50-year-old dad.

Earle also just experienced a breakup in love.
In December last year, he just posted a video announcing his breakup with his NFL player boyfriend, and then appeared next to Brady. It happened to be the time when the news of Gisele’s marriage was revealed.
When Brady was interviewed by People magazine, he gave an indifferent answer: “I don’t have much time to run my personal life, but I love my work and my children.”
But netizens’ mouths seemed to be filled with poison:
“Brady’s former coach is 73 and dating a 24-year-old, and Brady himself is 48 and has his arms around a 25-year-old.”
“This is completely a typical behavior of a 48-year-old man experiencing a mid-life crisis.”
Some people also brought out the age chart of Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend, claiming that Brady’s previous dating partners would automatically break up when he turned 25, saying that Brady had officially joined the Leonardo DiCaprio club.
Earle has a different style of painting, especially fans, who think Earle is simply a love template. She just broke up with an ordinary player, and then she became acquainted with a legendary quarterback. Is this a perfect heroine script? ! The comment section is full of people who are jealous and envious.
Even Earle’s father said on Twitter that he bought this jacket because he saw Brady wearing the same style. That is, everyone in the family knows how to gain traffic on the Internet.

And Brady, on his side, has been very active on social media recently. Last Sunday, I posted some boring daily photos and selfies online. Netizens felt that I was pursuing Earle, which is a very childish behavior of a high school boy hoping to attract the attention of the opposite sex.
It’s also like the method that high school girls would use 10 years ago to get Crush’s attention…
Some netizens complained that the way he now posts Instagram stories (similar to Douyin’s limited-time daily posts) is too old-fashioned. The style is like that of 13 years ago, a kind of sad feeling of a 50-year-old middle-aged man trying to blend in with the young people…

And all this,Netizens feel more intuitively that it is because Brady may have slightly broken the defense…
The day after news of Gisele’s remarriage began to pour in, Brady posted a post. In the picture, he is wearing a white hoodie with Forever Young printed on it.
The background music is “1-800-273-8255” by Logic. This string of numbers is the number of the American suicide prevention hotline.
The lyrics are: I’ve been depressed, I don’t want to live anymore, I feel like I’m going crazy, I feel like this is not my life.
(Content posted by Brady)
Tens of thousands of messages flooded into the comment area instantly, and netizens automatically imagined the plot.
Some people expressed distressedly that some pain is like this! The one you love the most has moved on. New man, new kids, new wedding. Everything happens as naturally as breathing!
There are also people who are merciless: Your beautiful wife has been begging you for many years to let you retire to spend time with your family. You retired first and then regretted it. She decisively stopped the loss. Go ahead and cry!
However, the media said that Brady had known for a long time that Gisele was going to get married, and they were still in contact because of their children. His attitude is very simple, he is relieved when she is happy. He hopes that she will accept it if he remarries in the future, so he must do it now.
Eleven years have passed since Gisele’s last show on the Victoria’s Secret runway. She and Brady have been divorced for three years. She is no longer the “perfect wife” who made many compromises to maintain their relationship for her husband’s football dream.
Divorce lawyer James Sexton saw Brady’s late-night “defence breaking” post and she said:
“How does Brady want us to feel? Is it to feel sorry for him or to attack Gisele?”
Maybe neither.
In the NFL draft that year, Brady was selected in the 6th round, 199th overall, and almost no one was optimistic about him. However, he turned this ordinary beginning into a historical legend.
Brady has loved football his whole life, but at the end of his life, he discovered that there is an important “game” that cannot be won.
