Gisele Bundchen 'living a more meaningful life' since marrying Joaquim Valente
Published in Entertainment News
Gisele Bundchen reportedly feels her life is "more meaningful" since getting married.
The 45-year-old model and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente tied the knot during a small ceremony at their home in Surfside, Florida, on December 3, 2025 - three years after they were spotted on vacation in November 2022.
Speaking about the couple, a source told People: "It [marriage] didn't change their day-to-day life in a big way, but it made things feel more meaningful.
"It was a very special moment for them to celebrate with close family and friends. They'll joke about it and say, 'Now we've been married for two months, now three months.' It's still new, but it already feels like they've built so much together in a short time."
Also in 2025, Gisele and Joaquim welcomed a baby boy into the world, and the blonde beauty was thrilled to become a mom for a third time, with her already having son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, with her 48-year-old ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady.
The insider added: "She's incredibly happy. Everything feels like it's come together. The kids are thriving, and she's so grateful to be a mom again.
"She's created a life that feels very peaceful. It's a slower, more intentional pace, and it's exactly what she wants.
"It's an amazing lifestyle for the whole family. It's very focused on wellness. They spend a lot of time outside. They love going for walks, paddleboarding, and just being active together."
Becoming a mom for a third time has resulted in Gisele - the global brand ambassador for Garnier - having a different approach to work.
The source explained: "She still loves working, but it's on her terms now. It has to fit into her life, not the other way around. Family comes first, and she's not chasing anything.
"The opportunities that come to her now feel like a natural fit, and this makes her excited. When Garnier approached her, it truly felt like the right fit."
In 2022, Gisele and Tom announced their split, and the New England Patriots quarterback penned on Instagram: "In recent days, my wife and I finalised our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage.
"We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the centre of our world in every way.
"We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve. (sic)"
Gisele said that she and Tom had "grown apart".
She explained: "The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always."
