Gisele Bündchen’s family was very worried about her marriage to jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente. They said that the huge difference in their wealth, Gisele has a $400 million fortune and Valente has only a small amount of money from running a Miami academy was a big problem. Family members told her to just live with him instead of getting married because they thought marrying a “penniless guy” could be a bad idea. Bündchen went ahead with a private ceremony in November 2025, just a few months after their son was born, despite these pleas.
The couple signed a prenup, but their families are worried that it has holes that could let Valente get a lot of money in a divorce. Sources said that Valente’s pressure, Bündchen’s traditional values, and their child together all played a role in her decision to get married. This comes after her very public divorce from Tom Brady in 2022, with whom she has two kids.
Bündchen and Valente started dating around 2023, after she trained at his academy and they became friends after she broke up with Brady. They had a baby boy in early 2025, which led to the quiet wedding at their home in Florida. The marriage shows that Bündchen is now living a quieter life with her family.
