Gisele Bundchen‘s post-divorce life doesn’t seem to be going smoothly. The iconic model ended her 22-year marriage to Tom Brady in October 2022. Both parties have moved on, with Bundchen being linked to her jiu-jitsu trainer, Joaquim Valente. However, it seems the new romance isn’t thriving so well after the Brazilian native recently had a public emotional outburst.
Gisele Bundchen Fights Back Tears After Interaction With Police Officer
Gisele Bundchen had a pretty rough day and couldn’t seem to contain her emotions. The former Victoria’s Secret angel had a run-in with the law on Wednesday. A police officer pulled over her Mercedes G-Wagon in Surfside, Florida. Bundchen was driving the vehicle herself. It is unsure what prompted the stop, but there was a lot of back-and-forth between the model and the officer. As seen in a video obtained by TMZ, Bundchen, who donned a white tank and a face cap, got handed a ticket. It seemed to tip her off the edge.
Soon enough, Bundchen wipes her tears from her face and looks visibly upset. Unfortunately, onlookers witnessed the emotional breakdown, something the 43-year-old was aware of. The presence of witnesses seemingly triggered Bundchen, who tried to fight her tears but failed woefully.
Details of the traffic stop are unknown, but earlier in the day, the Taxi star hung out with her rumored lover. The paparazzi spotted Bundchen and Joaquim Valente walking side-by-side as they inspected her Miami home, which is currently under renovation. The pair dressed sporty for the outing, as though they had just finished a workout, per Daily Mail. It is unknown if Valente was in the vehicle when the traffic stop occurred.
Inside Gisele Bundchen & Joaquim Valente’s Relationship
Bundchen and Valente’s romance first made rounds in late 2022, just weeks after her divorce from Brady was finalized. For the longest time, their relationship was perceived as probably just professional. However, all that changed when they were seen kissing in February 2023.
Despite what seems like a confirmation of their budding romance, the model has stayed away from discussing her relationship with Valente. She only briefly touched on the topic during an interview with Vanity Fair, saying:
“He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”
Much is still very unknown about Bundchen’s romance with the jiu-jitsu instructor. However, her recent outburst might be a sign that there is trouble in paradise. Only time will reveal the truth.
