In a graceful yet clear response to recent breakup rumors, Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente were seen enjoying a family day out in Miami over Father’s Day weekend. The couple, who have been the subject of media speculation, appeared together on paddle boards with Gisele’s children, Benjamin and Vivian, from her marriage to NFL legend Tom Brady.
On June 16, the 43-year-old supermodel and her jiu-jitsu trainer boyfriend were photographed, clad in summer gear, leading a paddle boarding session with her kids. This family outing, documented by TMZ, seems to subtly debunk the swirling rumors of a split.
Interestingly, Tom Brady, 46, was not part of this outing. Instead, he celebrated Father’s Day by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post featuring his children. “And THANK YOU, to these kids for giving me the gift of being a father, a joy that I could have never imagined until you came into my life,” Brady wrote. “I hope that I can give you all that my dad gave me… unconditional love and support.”
In addition to Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, Tom also shares a son, Jack, with his ex-partner Bridget Moynahan. Despite the end of their marriage, it’s evident that Brady remains a devoted father.
Last week, reports suggested that Gisele and Joaquim had ended their romance, which began in mid-2023. These rumors were partly fueled by Tom Brady’s recent Netflix roast, where several comedians made pointed jokes about his former marriage to Gisele and her current relationship.
One of the most talked-about comments came from comedian Kevin Hart. At the event, Hart joked, “Fked that karate man,” about Gisele’s relationship with Joaquim. Hart went on to question how Brady, noted for his strategic intelligence on the football field, didn’t foresee the new relationship. “Eight fking karate classes a day. Eight karate classes a day, and she’s still a white belt,” Hart quipped.
Hart’s jokes didn’t stop there. He also suggested that Gisele had given Brady an ultimatum—retire from football or risk losing his family—something Gisele has previously denied. “Let me tell you something. When you got a chance to go eight and nine, and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you gotta do [it],” Hart added. “You know what that’s called, Tom? That’s called Real St. Fk them kids.”
Despite the humor intended at the roast, the nature of these comments undoubtedly added fuel to the rumor mill. However, the recent outing in Miami seems to indicate that Gisele and Joaquim are very much together, focusing on family time amidst the speculation.
As an entertainment journalist with over three decades of experience, it’s clear that public figures like Gisele and Tom navigate their personal lives under intense scrutiny. Yet, moments like these a family outing captured under the Miami sun—provide a glimpse of normalcy, showing that beyond the headlines, they strive to maintain a semblance of ordinary family life.
For readers and fans, it’s a reminder that while celebrity lives can often appear tumultuous from the outside, they share many of the same joys and challenges as everyone else. And for Gisele and Joaquim, their Miami paddle boarding day was a peaceful assertion of togetherness amid the noise.
