Inside Gisele Bündchen's relationship with Joaquim Valente

Gisele Bündchen has announced that she is expecting her third child with jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. 

The lovebirds - who began dating in June 2023 - revealed to People that they were expecting as they admitted that they are looking forward to 'creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.'  

The supermodel, 44, began a relationship with the pro trainer, 35, following her divorce from Tom Brady, and this will be her third child and his first.

Despite having initially kept their romance under wraps, the couple could no longer hide their love for one another and by March 2024, she confirmed their relationship and gushed about their 'transparent' affection for each other. 

Now, months after she let fans in on her true feelings for the trainer, Gisele and Joaquim once again showed that they were meant to be as they revealed that they are set to welcome their first child together.

A source close to the star told the outlet: 'Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family.' 

The star is already mom to son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11 from her marriage to NFL GOAT Tom. 

DailyMail.com has contacted the supermodel for comment. 

Following their heartwarming announcement, FEMAIL has taken a look back at their relationship timeline. 

May 2024: Gisele hits back at Netflix following jabs at her relationship

The supermodel revealed she 'was deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family' on Netflix's The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady.

The roast included jabs at her relationship with Joaquim.

'As always, [Bundchen's] priority is to support her children who were affected by the irresponsible content that was broadcasted,' the source said to People.

One shock joke saw comedian Nikki Glaser referencing Valente's martial arts prowess, saying: 'How much would it suck for Tom... omg, just knowing your ex-wife's new boyfriend could beat your a** while eating hers.'

The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady, which was part of the Netflix Is a Joke Fest, was streamed live, with the streaming giant touting the special as the first-ever roast to be live-broadcast, unedited.

Nikki's other jabs included: 'Tom, the only thing dumber than you saying "yes" to this roast was when you said, "Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu."'

Nikki added, 'You have seven rings... well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back.'

March 2024: The supermodel reveals that she is dating someone who makes her heart flutter 

After months of being romantically linked, Gisele confirmed her new relationship in the interview, although she didn't name Joaquim. 

'This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,' the supermodel told NYT. 'It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent.'

Their confirmation of their relationship came just after she denied cheating on her husband of 13 years. 

'That is a lie,' she told the New York Times in late March, explaining that she doesn't 'want to make my life a tabloid.'

'This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,' explained Bündchen.

She added, 'They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family. Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.'   

The interview came days before she and Valente made their public debut as a couple at the Miami launch of her cookbook Nourish.

February 2023: Gisele and the pro trainer are surrounded in romance rumors as they are seen sharing a steamy kiss 

The couple was first romantically linked on Valentine's Day as they were photographed sharing a kiss during a date in Miami. 

Page Six reported at the time that the couple is 'deeply in love.'

A source told People that they 'have been dating since June,' adding: 'They're taking it slow.'

Another insider said 'they started out as friends' and had a lot in common, both moving from their native Brazil at a young age. 

'He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce,' the source said. 'Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.'

Meanwhile a source told TMZ the pair actually began dating in 2021. 

Another source told DailyMail.com in February that her former husband 'has accepted' the fact that Gisele  is dating Valente.

'If she wants to have people think she has been dating Joaquim only since June, so be it, but they have been together longer and they aren't taking it slow,' the insider said. 'Tom has accepted it.'

They noted that Tom and Joaquim 'are not friends' but the seven-time Super Bowl champion 'has to find the good in him and does believe he is a good guy.'

'If Joaquim ever becomes a father figure to his kids, Tom will be able to adapt,' the source added. 

In late February, Page Six reported that Valente had 'frequently been seen' leaving Gisele's $9 million Miami mansion 'early in the morning' ever since her mother Vânia Nonnenmacher died of cancer in January.

A source previously told People that the pair is not in a 'traditional dating scenario,' explaining they 'have a deep personal relationship, and he is a teacher to her and the kids. Whether or not it will ever become more than that rests on the table.'  

November 2023: Gisele, Tom and Joaquim head on a family vacation 

In November, she took her and Tom's children on a family vacation to Costa Rica with Joaquim, when a source told DailyMail.com they're just friends.

'He's been her kids' jiu-jitsu teacher for years,' the insider said. 'There's no truth to the rumors that they're dating.' 

The trip marked their second year traveling to Costa Rica with Valente. 

Gisele shares son Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11, with Brady, to whom she was married from 2009 to 2022.
