Joaquim Valente is Bundchen’s jiu-jitsu coach, and hence, they share a close relationship. But this is what Bundchen had to say when asked about the rumors of them dating. Bundchen said, “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything. He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.” Conclusively, she’s officially denied all the rumors between them, but the pictures and the amount of time they’ve been spending together point otherwise.
