Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente reportedly ended their relationship due to the scrutiny over their romance following the much-talked-about “roast” of Tom Brady on Netflix.
An anonymous source told InTouch Weekly last Thursday (13) that “the spotlight was too much” for Joaquim, who was Gisele’s jiu-jitsu instructor before they started dating last year.
“Joaquim is a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting,” the source told the site. Although it is not clear exactly when the two split, they haven’t been seen together since the end of April.
The source also said that things only got worse after Brady’s special on Netflix, which included several jokes about the couple’s romance. “Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking if he was the reason for the divorce. He hated that.”
Gisele reportedly blamed Tom, whom she divorced in 2022, for the breakup with Joaquim. “By agreeing to do the ‘roast‘, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back,” the source said.
During the Netflix special, comedians Kevin Hart and Nikki Glaser repeatedly brought up Bündchen and Valente’s romance. “Just the thought that your ex-wife’s new boyfriend could kick your ass while eating hers,” Glaser joked during the live broadcast.
Bündchen and Brady confirmed their separation in October 2022 after 13 years of marriage. Just one month after finalizing the divorce, Bündchen and Valente were seen together in Costa Rica with her children.
At the time, sources reported that their relationship was “strictly platonic and professional,” as Valente was the family’s jiu-jitsu instructor. In February 2024, Page Six exclusively revealed that their relationship had become romantic.
