Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has exchanged vows with her partner, Joaquim Valente, in a quiet, private ceremony at their Florida home, according to multiple reports. The couple, who welcomed their first child together earlier this year, opted for an intimate gathering with close friends and family to mark the occasion.
Private Nuptials at Home
The wedding took place on December 3, 2025, at the couple's residence in Surfside, Florida. Celebrity news outlets, including TMZ and the New York Post's Page Six, confirmed the nuptials occurred just two days after the pair obtained their marriage license. A source close to the couple described the event as a small and private affair, a stark contrast to the highly publicized nature of Bundchen's previous marriage to NFL legend Tom Brady.
"He is thrilled they finally tied the knot after having a kid together," the source told Page Six regarding Valente's reaction to the marriage.
A Blossoming Relationship and Growing Family
Bundchen and Valente's relationship evolved from a professional connection into a romantic partnership. Valente, who runs the Valente Brothers jiu-jitsu studio with his siblings, was initially hired as a martial arts instructor for Bundchen and her children four years ago. While they denied dating rumours for some time, their friendship eventually deepened.
"They started out as great friends first," a source told People magazine. "She's very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other."
The couple welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in February 2025. His name has not been publicly revealed. This is Bundchen's third child; she shares son Benjamin, 15, and daughter Vivian, 12, with ex-husband Tom Brady. Bundchen and Brady finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage.
Embracing a Private Life
In recent months, Bundchen has signalled a shift towards a more private, family-focused life. In a Mother's Day social media post in May, she shared a photo holding her newborn while reflecting on the beauty of unshared moments.
"I've been quiet over here but very busy living life," she wrote to her nearly 23 million followers. "Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived. Lately, I've been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present."
The couple was first romantically linked in November 2022, shortly after Bundchen's divorce was finalized, when they were spotted on a trip to Costa Rica with her children. At the time, sources insisted they were not dating, emphasizing Valente's role as the family's martial arts teacher. It appears their shared commitment to family and wellness laid the foundation for their lasting partnership.
