Gisele Bündchen’s family has reportedly expressed concern over her decision to marry her jiu-jitsu instructor and father of her child, Joaquim Valente, due to their significant financial disparity. Sources indicate that loved ones warned the supermodel about marrying someone with considerably less wealth while she maintains a $400 million fortune. Though Valente operates a Miami academy and trains celebrity clients, his earnings pale in comparison to Bündchen’s historic modeling contracts and business ventures.
Family members allegedly advised her to cohabitate rather than formalize their relationship, citing Valente’s limited financial standing. However, Bündchen reportedly felt marriage was appropriate since they share a child. The couple secretly wed in November after welcoming their son earlier this year.
While a prenuptial agreement exists, insiders claim it contains loopholes that could entitle Valente to a financial settlement if they divorce. Bündchen’s concerns reportedly contrast with her traditional values and close family ties – she maintains strong relationships with her father and five sisters, describing them as her best friends despite occasional disagreements. The supermodel’s previous marriage to NFL star Tom Brady ended in 2022; they share two teenage children. Representatives for both parties declined to comment on these claims.
