Gisele Bundchen’s Family Thinks Her Wedding to ‘Penniless’ Joaquim Valente Was ‘a Mistake’
Yahoo••entertainment
Key Points:
- Gisele Bündchen married her Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente on December 3 in Florida, despite her family’s concerns about his financial status.
- Bündchen, worth an estimated $400 million, divorced Tom Brady in 2022 and met Valente through their children’s jiu-jitsu classes.
- The couple welcomed a son in February 2025, which influenced their decision to marry, although her family advised her to cohabit instead.
- There is a prenuptial agreement in place, but Bündchen’s family worries it contains loopholes that could lead to a significant financial settlement for Valente if they divorce.
