Gisele Bündchen recently spoke with The New York Times about her breakup with Tom Brady and finding new love with Joaquim Valente. She recalled feeling depressed and vulnerable after her marriage with Brady ended in 2022, especially as she faced accusations of betrayal despite Brady being seen with other women.
Bündchen clarified that she doesn’t want her life to become tabloid fodder and strongly denied any infidelity, emphasizing that the stereotype of the adulterous wife is unfair. She explained how many women are unfairly blamed when leaving unhealthy relationships and must deal with judgment from their communities and families.
Regarding her relationship with Valente, they have been together since June, initially as friends before their romance blossomed. Valente, an experienced jiu-jitsu instructor, provided crucial support during Bündchen’s divorce. Bündchen praised Valente’s honesty and transparency, highlighting how he was a natural progression from friendship to romance.
While Bündchen remains reserved about their relationship, insiders reveal that they share many similarities and have a strong connection. Meanwhile, rumors of Brady’s flirtation with Irina Shayk seem to have fizzled out, with no recent sightings together.
Overall, Bündchen’s openness about her struggles and newfound happiness with Valente reflects a journey towards healing and resilience after her high-profile divorce.
