Gisele Bündchen is not dating anyone new, according to a source close to the supermodel, despite recent reports and images to the contrary.
“None of it’s true,” according to the source. “This is the kids’ and Gisele’s longtime martial arts teacher. There’s no truth to any dating rumors.”
According to the most recent reports, Bündchen was spotted in Costa Rica on a date with Joaquim Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor.
The source referred to the headlines as having “a whole new level of disrespect and disregard” for Bündchen.
These images weren’t captured during a romantic outing. In fact, according to the source, there were actually 6 adults and 8 children on the trip in addition to the instructor who was cropped out of the images of Bündchen and Valente.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s children Benjamin and Vivian were born last month, and Bündchen recently finalized their divorce.
Although they claim to not be dating, the Brazilian supermodel has posted pictures with Valente in the past.
Valente is one of three sons who own the Valente Brothers business in North Miami Beach. According to the business’ website, he “moved to Miami in 2007 to study criminology at Barry University. He quickly impressed everyone with his unique technique, outstanding teaching skills and remarkable charisma. Joaquim, like his brothers, had Grandmaster Hélio as his main teacher and trained weekly with the Grand Master. He was also very fortunate to spend many vacations and long weekends living with Grand Master Helio in his ranch. Joaquim played a pivotal role in the development of our curriculums as he was still living in Brazil and could work with Grandmaster Hélio directly.”
In February of last year, she posted a video of herself practicing Jiu Jitsu, thanking the brothers for their direction. “I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense. I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving. Let’s go,” she wrote.
