Gisele Bündchen Gives Glimpse at Joaquim Valente Romance for His Birthday
Gisele Bündchen is rocking some major bling following her wedding with Joaquim Valente.
In fact, the supermodel opted to wear a handful of gold rings when she stepped out in São Paolo Dec. 18 for a holiday party with Brazilian jewelry brand Vivara.
Gisele paired her eye-catching baubles with a bronzy, figure-hugging dress from Schiaparelli featuring a plunging neckline adorned with brass buttons. Leaning into the gold theme, the 45-year-old completed her look with the same colored earrings and a cuff bracelet.
The outing comes two weeks after Gisele tied the knot with Joaquim, 38, in Surfside, Fla. According to court records reviewed by E! News, the couple—who welcomed a baby boy together earlier this year—were married by a notary on Dec. 3, two days after their marriage license was issued.
And Gisele's relationship with the jiu jitsu instructor is unlike any of her previous ones. As the former Victoria's Secret Angel, who was married to Tom Brady from 2009 to 2022, shared last year, "This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first."
"It’s very different," she said in a The New York Times interview, without specifically mentioning Joaquim's name. "It is very honest, and it’s very transparent."

And though Gisele has been fostering a spirit of openness with her new husband, she has been adamant about keeping their romance out of the public spotlight. After all, she considers herself to be a "very private person."
"I like staying home," she told IGN in 2004. "I hate talking about my private life."
Still, the runway icon has offered small glimpses into her home life, which includes raising her and ex Tom's kids Benjamin, 15, and Vivian, 13, as well as her 10-month-old.

"Now that my little one is sleeping through the night, I'm regaining control of my schedule," she told Vogue France in May. "As every new mom knows, it's incredible how much sleep, or lack thereof, can change everything! But again, I feel truly grateful: being able to be home with my children and enjoy every moment with them is priceless."
