After adding Tom Brady to her list of previous relationships, supermodel Gisele B&uuml;ndchen has sparked a romance with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

Reigning as one of the Internet's most adored couples, Brazilian supermodel <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gisele-bundchen-birthday-iconic-runway-model-moments" title="Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's Most Iconic Catwalk Moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gisele B&uuml;ndchen</a> and NFL superstar <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/tom-brady-gisele-bunchen-reality-tv-show" title="Will Tom Brady's Family Be Reality TV's New Kardashians?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> broke the media's hearts with their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/biggest-celebrity-breakups-2022" title="The 14 Biggest Celebrity Breakups of 2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divorce</a>. Now, there is a new man in B&uuml;ndche's life.
After 13 years of marriage and many nonproductive conversations about Brady <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gisele-bundchen-reacts-tom-brady-nfl-retirement-reversal" title="How Gisele B&uuml;ndchen Feels About Tom Brady's Return to Football" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retiring</a> from the NFL, the couple's relationship status officially changed to "divorced" in October 2022 after B&uuml;ndchen revealed to the media that their "epic fight" was the final straw. Media outlets have also alleged a cheating scandal, but B&uuml;ndchen has vehemently denied claims of infidelity during her marriage to Brady.
While B&uuml;ndchen's reputation proceeds her now as one of the most prominent <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/supermodels-through-the-decades-runway-models-history" title="Looking Back at Supermodels Through the Decades" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supermodels</a> in the world, not to mention her previous ties to an NFL phenomenon, many of Gisele B&uuml;ndchen boyfriends were celebrity personalities far before she became one herself. To say <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gisele-bundchen-best-fashion-campaigns" title="Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's Most Iconic Fashion Campaigns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">B&uuml;ndchen</a>'s dating history excites the Internet is an understatement, recounting her time as an NFL wife, as well as her history of dating actors <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/leonardo-dicaprio-dating-history-camila-morrone-gisele-bundchen-blake-lively" title="A Deep Dive into Leonardo DiCaprio's Dating History" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leonardo DiCaprio</a> and Josh Harnett, as well as surfers, polo players, and Jiu-Jitsu instructors.&nbsp;
Post-Tim Brady, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen is moving on. Keep reading to find out more about her current love interest, Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, and for a refresher on every A-lister she has ever dated.

Jo&atilde;o Paulo Diniz

Gisele Bündchen's first boyfriend, Brazilian businessman João Paulo Diniz.

Before dating Joaquim Valente, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's complete dating history begins with Jo&atilde;o Paulo Diniz, the late Brazilian businessman. 17 years older than B&uuml;ndchen at the time, B&uuml;ndchen began relations with Paulo Diniz at the beginning of her modeling career at only 19 years old. B&uuml;ndchen had just won VH1 Model of the Year Award in 1999 upon kindling her flame with Paulo Diniz, but their relationship lasted no longer than a few months.&nbsp;

Gisele Bündchen's second boyfriend, fellow model Scott Barnhill.

Within the same year she cut ties with Jo&atilde;o Paulo Diniz, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen began dating fellow model Scott Barnhill. Though the two dated for only a few months, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen and Scott Barnhill shot an issue of&nbsp;Vogue&nbsp;together in 1999, and ended their relationship with no bad blood.&nbsp;

Gisele Bündchen's third boyfriend, Brazilian polo player Rico Mansur.

Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's boyfriend history experienced a dry spell from the end of 1999 to 2002, concluding when she began sporting Brazilian polo player Rico Mansur on her arm. Together for a total of six months, Mansur met B&uuml;ndchen during his engagement to Brazilian model and television host Isabella Fiorentino but called it off to pursue B&uuml;ndchen.&nbsp;

Gisele Bündchen with her fourth boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, at the 2005 Academy Awards.

Coming at the longest-lasting <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gisele-bundchen-draftkings-tom-brady" title="Gisele B&uuml;ndchen Has a New Job, and it Has Nothing to do with Fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gisele B&uuml;ndchen</a> boyfriend (before her marriage) was actor <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/leonardo-dicaprio-best-90s-moments-young-heartthrob" title="Look Back at Young Leonardo DiCaprio's Best '90s Moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leonardo DiCaprio</a>, lasting a total of six years from 1999 to 2005. Beginning her relationship with DiCaprio at only 20 years old, B&uuml;ndchen grew up in the public eye amidst her relationship with the Hollywood heartthrob, and while the picture-perfect duo appeared to be the Hollywood power couple on camera, B&uuml;ndchen suffered from severe anxiety throughout their relationship. In her autobiography entitled Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life,&nbsp;B&uuml;ndchen discusses how her relationship with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/leonardo-dicaprio-birthday-facts-titanic-kate-winslet" title="10 Lesser-Known Facts About Leonardo DiCaprio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DiCaprio</a> suffered as she began conquering her anxieties and ditching unhealthy habits.

Gisele Bündchen's fifth boyfriend, American surfer Kelly Slater.

Shortly after her dramatic split with Leonardo DiCaprio, Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's dating history took her away from the red carpet and down towards the sand as she began dating professional surfer Kelly Slater in 2005. After being together for less than a year, B&uuml;ndchen and her surfer boy parted ways in early 2006.&nbsp;

Gisele Bündchen's dating history; Gisele Bündchen's sixth boyfriend, Josh Harnett, right before she started dating Tom Brady.

While Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's boyfriend history recounts a relationship with American actor Josh Harnett, the two were together for merely a blip of time after they were caught making out one night in New York City. Harnett was recovering from a breakup with female heartthrob <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/young-photos-scarlett-johansson-90s-2000s-age" title="Young Photos of Scarlett Johansson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scarlett Johansson</a>, and as her husband-to-be was right around the corner, the spark between B&uuml;ndchen and Harnett quickly fizzled out in late 2006.&nbsp;

Gisele Bündchen with her husband Tom Brady and their three children after the 2021 Superbowl.

Quickly after dating rumors about Gisele B&uuml;ndchen and actor Chris Evans were squashed in 2006, B&uuml;ndchen and NFL superstar Tom Brady were set up on a blind date. After realizing their immediate chemistry, Brady was well on his way to becoming her husband, as the pair were engaged three years later. In an intimate ceremony only weeks after Brady popped the question, the power couple wed, remaining strong in their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gisele-bundchen-tom-brady-wife-cutest-moments-instagram" title="Gisele B&uuml;ndchen and Tom Brady's Cutest Moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marriage</a> for 13 years until their divorce in 2022. The divorce appeared to be inevitable as B&uuml;ndchen allegedly pushed Brady to retire a number of times, which he did until joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a third season&mdash;a decision many believe was a leading cause of the divorce.
B&uuml;ndchen addressed the emotional divorce process in an interview with <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/03/gisele-bundchen-cover-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a>, where she also condemned the speculations made about her role in his retirement and her alleged resentment regarding his career. &ldquo;When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together. As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make," the model said. "That doesn&rsquo;t mean you don&rsquo;t love the person. It just means that in order for you to be authentic and truly live the life that you want to live, you have to have somebody who can meet you in the middle, right? It&rsquo;s a dance. It&rsquo;s a balance.&rdquo;
<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/gisele-bundchen-tom-brady-new-miami-home-exclusive-island-billionaire-bunker" title="Gisele B&uuml;ndchen and Tom Brady Make the Move to Miami" target="_blank" rel="noopener">B&uuml;ndchen and Brady</a> share custody of their two children, Benjamin, 13, and Vivian, 10, not including Brady's first son, Jack, 15, from his relationship with former partner Bridget Moynahan, although B&uuml;ndchen has been involved in his life since he was a child.&nbsp;

One month after finalizing her divorce from Tom Brady, Joaquim Valente and Gisele B&uuml;ndchen were spotted out in public together. The pair were seen enjoying what appeared to be a dinner date on the beach in Costa Rica in November 2022. B&uuml;ndchen openly discussed her platonic relationship with her and her family's Jiu-Jitsu instructor in March 2023, asserting that she and Valente are just friends. &ldquo;I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I&rsquo;m divorced, I&rsquo;m sure that they&rsquo;re going to try to attach me to anything,&rdquo; B&uuml;ndchen told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/03/gisele-bundchen-cover-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanity Fair</a> about reports that the pair were dating.&nbsp;
In February 2024, a source close to the couple confirmed that the pair had been dating since June 2023. &ldquo;Joaquim is a great guy. He is down to earth, kind and inspiring," the source told&nbsp;<a href="https://people.com/gisele-buendchen-and-joaquim-valente-are-dating-source-8597786" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a>.&nbsp; "Gisele was hesitant about dating after the divorce. It's been very natural for her to date Joaquim.&rdquo; In March 2024, B&uuml;ndchen spoke publically about her relationship with Valente for the first time. &ldquo;This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,&rdquo; the model told&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/style/gisele-bundchen-cookbook-diet-relationships.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s very different. It is very honest, and it&rsquo;s very transparent.&rdquo; B&uuml;ndchen and the Jiu-Jitsu instructor have also reportedly bonded over similar backgrounds, with both individuals hailing from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/brazilian-laser-hair-removal-what-to-know-shaving-vs-waxing-lasering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazil</a>, as well as their mutual love of the sport, which B&uuml;ndchen has been training in since December 2021, and was awarded her blue belt within the year.&nbsp;
Following Gisele B&uuml;ndchen's cheating rumors, which surfaced after she was initially linked to Valente, the model clarified her relationship and the lengthy divorce process from her 13-year marriage with Brady. &ldquo;When you love someone, you don&rsquo;t put them in a jail and say, &lsquo;You have to live this life.&rsquo; You set them free to be who they are, and if you want to fly the same direction, then that&rsquo;s amazing," she <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/03/gisele-bundchen-cover-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.&nbsp;
B&uuml;ndchen has also publicly stated that in the months leading up to her divorce, she did not cheat on Brady. &ldquo;This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,&rdquo; B&uuml;ndchen said in the same March 2024 interview with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/style/gisele-bundchen-cookbook-diet-relationships.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.&nbsp;&ldquo;They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.&rdquo;
