Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente's Private Wedding

12/22/2025, 11:42:10 AM

Intimate Ceremony in Surfside, Florida

Gisele Bündchen married Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor, in a private ceremony on December 3, 2025, at their home in Surfside, Florida. The wedding was characterized as a "small, private non-event," reflecting Bündchen's desire for a low-key celebration away from the public eye. Sources indicate that she is "tired of all the attention" surrounding her personal life and sought to enjoy the day with her family and Valente without the pressures of public scrutiny.

Reasons for Privacy

Bündchen's choice to keep the wedding intimate stems from her current focus on family life and personal happiness. A source close to the couple stated, "Gisele just wants to do things her own way," emphasizing that both she and Valente are "best friends with a lot in common" and are excited about their future together. The couple welcomed a son earlier in 2025, adding to Bündchen's responsibilities as a mother to her two children from her previous marriage to Tom Brady, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13.

Official Statements & Responses

Sources have noted that Bündchen is thriving in her new life in Miami, balancing her family and work commitments. "Her life is filled with her kids, her loving family and work, but it is more manageable," one insider remarked. Another source added that Bündchen is "happy being married again" and that the timing for their wedding felt right.

Tom Brady's Reaction

Tom Brady, Bündchen's ex-husband, did not issue a formal statement regarding the marriage but shared a cryptic Instagram post shortly after the news broke. His post included a selfie with the caption "Yupppppp ?," set to Logic's song "1-800-273-8255," which has themes of emotional struggle. This has led to speculation about his emotional state post-divorce, although sources have indicated that he has accepted Bündchen's relationship with Valente.

Criticism & Opposition

While Bündchen has faced scrutiny regarding her relationship timeline with Valente, she has publicly denied any infidelity during her marriage to Brady. In a March 2024 interview, she addressed the rumors, stating, "This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship."

What's Next

As Bündchen continues to navigate her new marriage and motherhood, she remains active in her professional life, recently appearing at a Vivara event in São Paulo. The couple's focus on privacy suggests they will likely maintain a low profile as they build their life together.
