Gisele Bundchen & Joaquim Valente Break Up After Being Mocked At Tom Brady’s Controversial Roast

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, have reportedly ended their relationship. The breakup may have been triggered by the aftermath of Tom Brady’s recent celebrity roast, which Bundchen allegedly believes put a “target” on Valente’s back.

When Bundchen initially confirmed her relationship with Valente, she was adamant that she had never cheated on her ex-husband, Brady, with her new beau. However, the topic of her infidelity resurfaced at the roast, which also included jokes that “affected” Brady’s children.

The supermodel reportedly felt her past wounds from the split with Brady had been reopened once again, and she had expected her ex-husband to prevent a disrespectful portrayal of their marriage. The insider also shared that Bundchen was hurt when she saw Brady defend his former football team’s owner, Robert Kraft, from a joke at the roast yet remained passive amid jabs aimed at her. This act reinforced Bundchen’s belief that Brady continues to prioritize football over family, a belief that was rumored to have contributed to their split after 13 years of marriage.

Bundchen recently expressed her concerns about the many misconceptions surrounding her personal life in an interview with the New York Times, where she stated, “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… Of course, for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”

Bundchen emphasized that she never wants to make her life a “tabloid” for the press and further highlighted her desire for privacy in this turbulent time.

In the aftermath of the roast, Brady himself appeared on The Pivot podcast and admitted that he regretted agreeing to do the special because it affected his kids. The seven-time Super Bowl champion explained that he preferred the jokes to be only about him and that they were “so fun” until his children became a topic.

“It’s the hardest part about, like, the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way, and then all of a sudden you realize, ‘I wouldn’t do that again,’ because of the way that affected the people that I care about the most in the world,” Brady said.
