Gisele Bündchen Denies She Cheated on Tom Brady – Gisele Bündchen is openly addressing speculation regarding her separation from former spouse Tom Brady, while also discussing her relationship with Joaquim Valente. During a recent interview with The New York Times to discuss her cookbook Nourish, the 43-year-old supermodel clarified that she did not engage in infidelity with Brady, 46, before their divorce in 2022.
“That’s false,” Bündchen asserted to the publication, refuting allegations that she initiated a romantic involvement with her jiu-jitsu instructor Valente before parting ways with the retired NFL athlete. “I really don’t want to make my life a tabloid,” she added of the allegations. “I don’t want to open myself up to all of that.”
During the interview, Bündchen also acknowledged the unfair criticism she faced after she and Brady ended their relationship. “This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship and are labeled as being unfaithful,” she explained. “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family.”

“Of course for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified,” Bündchen added. Speaking further about her relationships, Bündchen noted: “No one really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship.” As for her latest relationship, Bündchen told the Times, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first.”
“It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent,” she continued. Bündchen and Brady officially filed for divorce on October 28, 2022, following 13 years of marriage. On that very day, the court finalized their divorce, stating their marriage as “irretrievably broken.” Their initial encounter took place in December 2006 through a blind date arranged by mutual acquaintances.
Together, they are parents to two children: their son Benjamin, aged 13, and daughter Vivian, aged 10. (Brady also has a son named John “Jack” Edward with his ex-partner Bridget Moynahan.) Earlier this month, Bündchen discussed her split in an emotional sitdown interview with Robin Roberts.

During the interview, Bündchen said, “I think there are easier days than others, but I think it’s amazing that the kids … they’re super smart children. They know what they can get away with. So I think it’s natural that [our houses] have different rules and then kids just adapt.”
“And they’re going to try to do what they want. And I can only control what I do. And I think for me, now is really about the balance,” the supermodel added. When asked by Roberts, 63, if she’ll be able to “open up your heart again to someone,” Bündchen shrugged, then replied with a small smile, “Where my heart is now is where I am right now. I’m living my truth, and I’m not apologizing for it.”
