Gisele Bündchen celebrates husband Joaquim Valente's birthday
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen shared a rare public tribute to her husband, jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, on social media to celebrate his birthday. In an Instagram post, Bündchen expressed her affection, writing, “Today a great man was born, @joaquimvalente. How lucky I am. I love you so much!”
Bündchen and Valente, who live in Miami, Florida, married in a private ceremony in December 2025. The couple has a son, River, born in February 2025. This child is Bündchen's third, following her children, Benjamin and Vivian, from her previous marriage to former NFL player Tom Brady.
Valente, a native of Rio de Janeiro, operates a jiu-jitsu academy in Florida. The couple has maintained a relatively private lifestyle since their relationship became public in 2023.
