Heartbroken Gisele Bündchen Not Depressed About Tom Brady Divorce Amid Joaquim Valente Romance: “Time of Transition”

After 13 years of marriage, NFL legend Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s life took a drastic turn that ended in divorce. However, Bündchen refuses to harbor any negative feelings toward herself or for Brady, even after experiencing the “death of a dream.” Her latest interview with Robin Roberts echoes only positivity and gratitude toward life. 

Even though she gets emotional while trying to introspect on her journey this far, she only hints at her commitment to start everything again and experience transition. This indicates Bündchen stepping onto a new path regarding her romantic relationship with Joaquim Valente. 

Bündchen’s gratitude while navigating through change

The clip shared by ABC News shows Bündchen in a deep conversation with the host, Roberts. On being questioned about her previous statement on “death of a dream,” emotion seemed to have taken charge of her. Her voice broke as she said, “Well when you say… sorry guys (voice choked) I didn’t know can I have a little moment. Sorry, but let me just breathe. Okay it’s definitely a time of transition that had to take place and it’s not something that I don’t think, wish for that you know but I think sometimes in life things happen. I feel so blessed because like I wouldn’t change anything in my life I have.”

However, immediately, she controlled her emotions. While grappling with the profound shift in her life, she spoke with unwavering conviction, shedding light on the blessings in her life — her children. She explained, “I learned so much I have my children which are the biggest blessings in my life and now I get to create is a new season, is a new chapter in my life and I get to learn new things and I get to walk my path in a different way.” Hence, with a sense of grace and acceptance, she embarks on a new journey, and even though she does not mention it, it paves the way for her current relationship with Valente, a jiu-jitsu instructor. 

Bündchen’s journey with Valente

In February 2022, Bündchen shared a video of her jiu-jitsu session that exhibited the supermodel’s dedication to various aspects of life. However, November 2022 marked a pivotal moment in her life after she finalized her divorce from the NFL GOAT, Brady. Shortly after that, the public started to join the dots, and rumors began circulating about a potential romance between Brady’s former wife and her jiu-jitsu instructor.

What fueled the speculation was Valente accompanying Bündchen and her children on a vacation in Costa Rica. Even though she refused to confirm her relationship status with Valente, per the sources, the duo has been dating since June 2023. In a previous interview, she revealed that her initial interest in combat sports was not personal, and she was exposed to it after bringing her pre-teen son to Valente’s class.

Having left Brazil early on, it has been speculated that sharing similar backgrounds might have fostered a deep understanding between Bündchen and Valente. Besides delving deep into the philosophy behind martial arts, Valente emerges as the perfect companion who complements her life with her present positive mindset. On the other hand, Brady has also moved on with model Irina Shayk, but he and Bündchen still share responsibilities as co-parents.
