Gisele Bündchen didn’t start dating Joaquim Valente until June 2023, but apparently Tom Brady isn’t buying when it actually began.

According to TMZ Sports, Brady’s camp is alleging that the supermodel started her relationship with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente much earlier than the reported start date of June 2023.
“They should add 2021 after June. Then the headline would be accurate,” a Brady source told the outlet.

Sources have told Page Six the model has fallen for Joaquim, adding: “They’re deeply in love.”

A second source shared: ‘They started out as friends. He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.’

The insider said: ‘They come from similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil very young. They have both created amazing lives for themselves in the US. They both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living.
‘Gisele’s in a great space. She is happy and very much enjoying life. Joaquim is perfect for her.’
This news comes less than one year after Gisele denied talk she was dating the fitness instructor. Despite her denying everything, Gisele and Joaquim were regularly photographed together, paddleboarding, strolling on the beach, in the gym, and picking each other up from the airport.

Rumors of a relationship started to swirl when Joaquim was pictured holidaying with Gisele and her children in Costa Rica just two weeks after her divorce from Tom.

Brady and Gisele were married for 13 years before they split in October 20222.
