Meet Gisele's New Beau: Joaquim Valente's Story

Gisele Bündchen, the supermodel, is expecting a baby with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente. They are ready for this new phase in their lives. This little one will join big siblings Benjamin and Vivian. A bit about Joaquim: he is from a family of jūjutsu experts. Three generations have practiced this martial art under the guidance of Hélio Gracie. Joaquim started learning jūjutsu before he could walk! That's impressive.

Joaquim is also well-educated. He studied criminology in Miami and even got a special diploma from Grandmaster Hélio Gracie. Now, he lives in Miami. Gisele and Joaquim started out as great friends. They even trained together in jūjutsu. Gisele has been learning from him and bringing her kids too. Isn't that cool? Their relationship is low-key, but they're happy and taking things slow. It's nice to see Gisele in a good space.
