Supermodel Gisele Bundchen made a rare red carpet appearance in Miami, Florida, on Thursday, offering a glimpse of her wedding band from new husband Joaquim Valente. The 45-year-old Brazilian runway icon, whose ex-husband Tom Brady has recently been embroiled in romance rumours, served as the guest of honour at the launch event for Garnier's Fructis Diamond Sleek product line.
Stunning Red Carpet Look
As an ambassador for Garnier, Bundchen showcased a noticeable sun-kissed glow to her complexion while modelling a sparkly silver rhinestone dress paired with matching heels. The curve-clinging frock featured delicate spaghetti straps and an elegant layered skirt, accentuating every inch of her gym-honed physique. Her golden blonde hair was swept up in a sleek high ponytail that cascaded down her sculpted back.
Bundchen kept accessories to a minimum, allowing her yellow gold wedding band to take centre stage as she posed for photographs. Throughout the evening, she was seen engaging with various attendees, including chatting with the event's DJ Natalia Roth, cosying up to Garnier's global brand president Marc Baland, and mingling with influencer Camila Coelho.
Secret Wedding Details Revealed
Bundchen and Valente secretly tied the knot in early December 2025, obtaining their marriage license on December 1 before officially marrying two days later during a private ceremony at their Surfside, Florida residence. A source close to the couple told Page Six that Valente was "thrilled they finally tied the knot after having a kid together," while separate insiders claimed to TMZ that close family members had been invited to the intimate nuptials.
The couple first crossed paths in December 2021 when Bundchen and her children began training at Valente's jiu-jitsu academy. Their romance was confirmed in 2024, with Bundchen briefly discussing their relationship during an interview with The New York Times. "This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first," she explained. "It's very different. It is very honest, and it's very transparent."
Family Life and Previous Marriage
Bundchen and Valente are parents to a one-year-old baby son whose name has yet to be revealed publicly. The supermodel's wedding to Valente came three years after her divorce from former husband Tom Brady, with whom she shares 16-year-old son Benjamin and 13-year-old daughter Vivian. The former couple were married for twelve years before their October 2022 separation.
Regarding Brady, the NFL superstar has been dating around in recent years, sparking romance rumours with various women. In January, the 48-year-old was linked to TikTok star Alix Earle after they were seen having a flirty exchange at a New Year's Eve party. Weeks later during Super Bowl weekend, footage obtained by the Daily Mail showed Brady getting handsy with Earle at an exclusive party, further fuelling dating speculation.

More recently, Brady surprised fans when he was reportedly seen hanging out with Yael Cohen Braun, the ex-wife of Scooter Braun, at a birthday party for former NFL star Tony Gonzalez. According to Page Six, Brady and Yael were "huddled up at the bar together" during the star-studded bash held at the Los Angeles home of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The legendary quarterback is said to have left the lavish celebration with Yael, adding more fuel to the romance rumours.
Back in January, Brady opened up about the toll his divorce from Bundchen had taken during an appearance on The Herd. "My last season was tough," he explained, referring to his final year with the NFL before his official retirement in 2023. "I was going through a lot of just a personal family issue, and it was a challenge, and it was a very... It just took a lot out of me in terms of my ability to continue to play."
The sports star added, "And I had 23 years of it, so I didn't feel like I was missing anything retiring. I felt like, okay, this is time. I always had a goal, 45. I was 45 years old. I wanted to spend time with my kids. I felt like, 'Okay, now it's time for me to be at all my kids' games.' They've been to enough of their dad's games."
