Gisele is “madly in love” with her boyfriend, the source said, adding that her friends “haven’t seen her like this before.”

Gisele Bündchen’s boyfriend Joaquim Valente has won over the two children she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady, daughter Vivian and son Benjamin.
Insiders have shared with Us Weekly that his two oldest children, Benjamín, 14, and Viviain, 11, “really like” Joaquim.
Gisele has been dating Joaquim since June 2023. She divorced Tom in 2022.
Joaquim, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, owns a jiu-jitsu studio with his brothers Pedro and Gui Valente in Miami.
They first met in December 2021, when Gisele sought jiu-jitsu training for her son and then decided to take classes as well.
Meanwhile, Page six reports that Gisele’s friends don’t anticipate the couple getting married “any time soon.”
Gisele’s friends reportedly believe the couple will simply “live together for now.”
At the moment there is no talk of marriage, says the source.
“There is a big difference between them in terms of net worth,” the source said. “There’s no point in tempting fate when it comes to Giselle.”
More recently Gisele was said to have a net worth of $400 million.

In early July, the lovebirds enjoyed a summer vacation in Costa Rica with their two children.
She told Dust Magazine: ‘At first, I wasn’t even considering it for myself. But when I took (his son Ben) to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized it was much more than self-defense.’
She added that the philosophy of jiu-jitsu was what interested her the most: “It felt very in line with what I believe in and seek in my life, and how I have a path to develop and become the best version of myself.”
The duo sparked romance rumors when they were spotted together in November 2022 in Costa Rica, two weeks after her divorce from Tom Brady was finalized.
Gisele denied that they had a romantic relationship. Despite the questionable timeline of their relationship, Bundchen has denied cheating on her husband of 13 years.

“That’s a lie,” he told the New York Times in late March, explaining that he doesn’t “want to make a tabloid of my life.”
“This is something that happens to many women who are blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as unfaithful,” Bündchen explained.
After months of being romantically linked, Bundchen confirmed her new relationship earlier this year, although she did not name Valente.
“This is the first time I’ve seen someone who was a friend of mine,” Bündchen told the NYT. ‘It’s very different. “He is very honest and very transparent.”
The couple were first romantically linked on Valentine’s Day when they were photographed kissing during a date in Miami. Page Six reported at the time that the couple is “deeply in love.”
A separate source also told People: ‘They have been dating since June. They are taking it easy.
