Gisele Bündchen showed off her toned bikini body while paddleboarding with her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in Miami. Bündchen wore a black string bikini for the occasion with her rumored boyfriend as she showed off her abs. This is not the first time the two have been spotted spending time together. They have also been photographed hanging out in Costa Rica. The former Victoria's Secret model previously addressed her relationship with Valente after months of speculation. "I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I'm divorced, I'm sure that they're going to try to attach me to anything," she told Vanity Fair for the April issue. The model also gushed about the jiu-jitsu instrucor's family saying, "I'm so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially."

It's so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy." At the same time, Bündchen put a hard stop to speculation she was dating her ex-husband Tom Brady's friend and neighbor Jeffrey Soffer, a billionaire developer. "I have zero relationship with him in any way," Bündchen explained. "He's Tom's friend, not my friend." "I wouldn't be with his friend," she continued. "I wouldn't be with this guy. I mean, puh-leeze. They were saying I'm with this guy, he's old, because he's got money – it's ridiculous." Bündchen has worked with Valente for years. In February 2022, the former Victoria's Secret model shared a video on Instagram sparring with the trainer. "I believe the more tools we have in our toolbox the better. I feel stronger, more confidence and empowered since I started practicing self-defense," she wrote at the time. "I feel it’s an important skill for all, but specially for us women. Thank you @ValenteBrothers for being awesome teachers and for making training so much fun. I am looking forward to keep improving."
