Marriage is not in the cards for supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente.
On October 28, 2024, anonymous sources close to the couple confirmed that they are expecting a child, due in early 2025. With news of Gisele’s pregnancy, many anticipated that the couple might soon tie the knot.
However, close friends of Bündchen spoke exclusively to Page Six on October 29, 2024, shedding light on the couple’s marital plans. Despite the upcoming arrival of their baby, Gisele and Joaquim are not focused on marriage. A source shared,
“Don’t expect Gisele to marry her baby daddy, Joaquim Valente, anytime soon. For now, they plan to simply live together”.
Discussing why marriage is not on the table for Bündchen and her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend, an anonymous friend revealed the key reason behind the model’s decision. Alluding to their financial disparity, the source said,
“There is a huge difference between them net-worth wise. There is no point in tempting fate as far as Giselle is concerned”.
Gisele Bündchen And Joaquim Valente Excited For The Arrival Of Their Baby
Gisele and Joaquim had carefully kept their pregnancy news private until October 2024. When the news finally broke, it was revealed that the Brazilian beauty was almost five to six months along.
On October 28, 2024 a source close to the couple shared with People magazine their preparations as soon-to-be parents. As this marks Gisele’s third child, she has different plans for this pregnancy. The source revealed,
“She’s several months along and planning a home birth. 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”.
Bündchen has two other children with her ex-husband, NFL star Tom Brady, a son, Benjamin Rein Brady, and a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady.
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente first met in December 2021 when the latter was hired to teach jiu-jitsu to the model. Their relationship blossomed into romance in June 2023, just a few months after Gisele’s divorce from Brady. Since then, the couple has been enjoying a happy relationship.
Netizens Express Disapproval Over Gisele’s Decision Not To Marry Joaquim
Many social media users have voiced their disapproval of the Victoria’s Secret model’s choice to forgo marriage with Valente before the arrival of their first child. Some even questioned her intentions, with comments such as,
“Wondering why she isn’t marrying him”.
“She probably doesn’t want to share her money!”
One commentator speculated that her decision to avoid marriage might be tied to financial considerations regarding child support from her ex-husband. They wrote,
“If she remarries does she lose out on support from Tom Brady?”
Another harshly negative comment read,
As Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente prepare to welcome their new addition, it remains to be seen how their relationship will evolve in the future. For now, the couple seems content to focus on their growing family.
