Joaquim Valente may have his name in the headlines often due to his relationship with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, but that hasn't stopped him from finding success in his own field. The Barry University graduate started training in jiu-jitsu and other martial arts forms at a very young age — and continued following that passion until it became his profession.

Gisele Bündchen has officially expanded her family with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. The Brazilian model, who is already a mom to two kids with ex-husband Tom Brady, welcomed her third child — and first with Joaquim — in early 2025.

It’s been over two years since Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen quickly and quietly finalized their divorce following months of speculation that there was trouble brewing for the couple. The supermodel soon moved on with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente — a fact many of the most brutal jokes on The Roast of Tom Brady centered around — and they have now welcomed their first child together.
