Gisele Bundchen’s recent marriage to Joaquim Valente may have been a quiet and intimate affair. However, according to one source, it came with private concerns behind the scenes. While the supermodel has long emphasized the importance of family in her life, insiders claim not everyone close to her felt fully comfortable with the decision.
Gisele Bundchen and husband Joaquim Valente’s prenup has ‘loopholes,’ says source
Page Six learned that Gisele Bundchen’s family allegedly expressed reservations before she married husband Joaquim Valente, her longtime partner and jiu-jitsu instructor. An insider who spoke to the outlet claimed relatives “warned” that marrying someone with significantly fewer financial resources could be a “mistake.”
While Valente is said to run a successful martial arts academy in Miami alongside his brothers and counts high-profile clients among his circle, the same source suggested that Bundchen exists in a vastly different financial and celebrity stratosphere. The model has been one of the highest-paid figures in fashion for decades and is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions.
The source further claimed that Bundchen’s family encouraged her to live with Valente rather than marry him outright. However, they alleged that a mix of traditional values and pressure surrounding their shared child influenced her decision. According to Page Six’s reporting, the couple became parents to a baby boy in February last year. They later reportedly married in a low-key ceremony in November.
Financial protection was also a concern, according to the same insider. Bundchen and Valente are said to have signed a prenuptial agreement. However, the source claimed it contains “loopholes” that could allow Valente to receive a “financial settlement” in case of divorce.
Bundchen has spoken openly in the past about her close bond with her large family. In a 2023 interview with PEOPLE, she described her five sisters as her “best friends.” “My family is everything to me and my sisters are my best friends even if sometimes we disagree,” Bundchen said.
The supermodel was previously married to NFL star Tom Brady, with whom she shares two children, Benjamin and Vivian. Their divorce in 2022 marked the end of a long, very public chapter in her personal life.
