Gisele Bundchen oozes NYC chic heading to The View… as she continues Joaquim Valente romance after CRYING about Tom Brady divorce

Gisele Bundchen was the picture of New York chic as she dashed around Manhattan on Thursday to tape an appearance on The View.

The 43-year-old model makes the rounds in advertisements for her new cookbook Nourishwhich should be released next week.

Sweeping her silky caramel locks into a high ponytail, the Brazilian bombshell wrapped her slender figure in a camel overcoat.

Gisele was dressed to impress for The View, avoiding the morning chill in a sleek black turtleneck tucked into a trendy faded denim skirt.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel lent herself a little extra stature by deftly rocking atop a towering pair of black leather stiletto boots.

Her next big TV appearance comes after she broke down in tears while being interviewed about her divorce from Tom Brady, whom she left in October 2022.

Shortly before the tearful interview, a source told DailyMail.com that Tom had “accepted” Gisele’s current romance with her steamy jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente – despite the fact he thinks they had been together for “years” now.

Previous reports indicated that Gisele and Joaquim had only been together since last June, but the source revealed that Tom thought otherwise.

“If she wants people to think she’s only been dating Joaquim since June, so be it, but they’ve been together longer and they’re not taking long,” the source claimed last month, but added that “Tom agreed.” he.’

The insider added: “Tom and Joaquim aren’t friends – but Joaquim is with his kids, so Tom has to find the good in him and believes he’s a good guy. If Joaquim ever becomes a father figure to his children, Tom will know how to adapt.

As claims about Gisèle and Joaquim’s relationship timeline went viral online, she could be seen crying on camera about the divorce.

Earlier this month, a preview was released of a special interview Gisele recorded with veteran presenter Robin Roberts.

Gisele – who shares children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with Tom – described the collapse of her marriage as the “death of a dream”.

During the interview, she broke down in tears and asked the crew if she could take “a moment” before continuing.

When Robin asked, “Would you be able to open your heart to someone again?” Gisèle hesitated and said at length: “Ummmm”.

The answer she finally gave was, “Where my heart is now is where I am right now.” I live my truth and I make no apologies for it.

Although Gisèle and Joaquim had sparked romance rumors for several months, they only made their escapade public on Valentine’s Day, when they were spotted kissing passionately outside near at home in Miami.

Before that, the two spent a lot of time in each other’s company, including on getaways to Costa Rica.

When they were first linked in November 2022, some of Gisele’s friends flatly denied she was dating Joaquim, insisting the two were just friends.

“He’s been his kids’ jiu-jitsu teacher for years,” a source told DailyMail.com. “There is no truth to the rumors that they are dating.”

However, the two have done little to quell speculation: Last August, Gisele was spotted receiving a late-night pickup at Joaquim Airport.

Gisele initially took a dismissive attitude toward the rumors, saying in the April 2023 issue of Vanity Fair: ‘I think at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure they’ll try to attach me to anything.’

She and Tom married in February 2009 and welcomed two children together: Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11.

The power couple announced their divorce in October 2022 after a whirlwind of reports that their marriage was on the verge of collapse.

Gisele was reportedly furious with Tom’s shock decision to “not retire” from the NFL – just a month after giving up football to spend more time with his family.

“Obviously I have my concerns, it’s a very violent sport, I have my kids and I would like him to be around more. I’ve definitely had those conversations with him over and over again,” he said. she declared. She shortly before their separation was made public.

“But at the end of the day, I think everyone has to make a decision that’s right for them.” He must also follow his joy,” added Gisèle.

Tom initially announced his departure from the NFL during the 2022 offseason – only to make a dizzying about-face and return to professional football a month later.

He officially retired earlier this year after his marriage broke up, and he has stayed out of professional football ever since.
