Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente's Relationship Timeline "Joaquim was there for Gisele through her divorce, as a friend, and they turned romantic this past summer," a source exclusively told Us last February. They grew close thanks to their "similar lifestyles" as both are "dedicated to fitness and nutrition," the insider added at the time. "Gisele loves being with someone who is from Brazil, they both have a shared history that she hasn't had with anyone she's dated," the source continued, noting Valente is "amazing" with her kids. Bündchen also sang his praises in an April 2023 cover story with Vanity Fair. "I'm so grateful to know [Joaquim and his siblings], because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially," she said. "It's so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy."
