IN PHOTOS: Gisele Bundchen continues to spend time with close jiu-jitsu instructor in Costa Rica

Gisele Bundchen has been living her life ever since finalizing her divorce from NFL legend Tom Brady. The couple, who were married for 13 years, recently split in 2022 and have since been busy with their individual lives.

While Brady played out his last season as an NFL player with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bundchen has been busy reconnecting with her past passions. She has frequently been spotted in Costa Rica alongside her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

The latest images show a bikini-clad Bundchen alongside Valente in blue, a friend, and two dogs. The former Victoria’s Secret Angel and jiu-jitsu trainer have not confirmed whether or not they are dating.

Joaquim Valente and Gisele Bundchen first worked together on one of the issues of Dust Magazine back in 2021. The 42-year-old former supermodel then shared a video of the two on Instagram showcasing his studio while practicing self-defense.

Brady has been spending time with his family and kids and even recently adopted two kittens for his daughter Vivian. He even had this to say regarding the matter.

Tom Brady might not be “done after all" with his playing in the NFL, according to @RichEisenShow who talked to people in Indy.

"Folks are saying keep an eye on Miami."

Back in October last year, the two decided to part ways and even issued an official statement. Soon after, the QB announced his retirement from the game after a season where he never quite looked like the same player.

Back then, the former Buccaneers star decided to retire only to ultimately unretire within 40 days. This reportedly did not sit well with Bundchen.

The couple soon announced that they were going to go their different ways. The two, though, have maintained a cordial relationship with each other and even have joint custody of their kids.
