For years, Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady were considered one of the most famous power couples in the world. Every family photo, public appearance, and holiday celebration became headline news. Now, nearly four years after their split, Gisele’s latest Father’s Day tribute shows just how different her life looks today. The supermodel took to Instagram to celebrate her husband, Joaquim Valente, sharing a rare collection of personal family moments featuring the jiu-jitsu instructor and their young son. Alongside the photos, Bündchen praised Valente for the values he brings to their family, calling him an “incredible role model.”
“Thank you for leading by example, and for the values you embody, love, humility, integrity, discipline, kindness and consistency,” she wrote. “We are all so grateful for you, and we love you so much.”
The post featured several intimate family moments, including photos of Valente spending time with their son as well as sweet interactions with Gisele’s older children, Benjamin and Vivian, whom she shares with former NFL star Tom Brady.
What stood out wasn’t what Gisele said. It was what she didn’t.
Unlike previous years when Brady was often part of major family celebrations, this Father’s Day spotlight belonged entirely to Valente. The tribute offered fans one of the clearest looks yet at the family dynamic Gisele has built since moving on from her highly publicized marriage.
The model and Brady finalized their divorce in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. At the time, the breakup dominated headlines worldwide, with endless speculation surrounding the reasons behind their split. Since then, however, Gisele has largely kept her personal life private, occasionally sharing glimpses of her relationship with Valente while focusing on family and work.
The couple quietly married in late 2025 and welcomed their first child together earlier that year. While they have chosen not to publicly reveal their son’s name, the latest photos show a family that appears settled into its new chapter.
Father’s Day posts are usually simple social media gestures. For celebrity families, though, they often tell a much bigger story. In Gisele’s case, the message wasn’t about looking back. It was about celebrating the present.
And after years of public scrutiny surrounding her marriage, divorce, and new relationship, that’s probably exactly how she wants it.
