Gisele Bündchen is living her best life in Miami, and she's making it clear that her ex-husband Tom Brady's romance with Candice Swanepoel is the last thing on her mind. Sources close to the Brazilian supermodel tell People that she feels completely at peace with her new chapter, focused on her family with husband Joaquim Valente and their baby born in early 2025.
After 13 years of marriage to Brady, Bündchen has moved on with grace. She married jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente late last year, and together they're raising their newborn alongside her older children, Benjamin and Vivian. The model, who turns 46 this year, says motherhood at this stage feels like a gift—one that lets her choose her own path without worrying about public opinion.
Her Miami life: family first, career second
In Florida, Bündchen has built a routine that revolves around her kids. She's been open about turning down up to 99% of job offers to avoid missing volleyball games, park afternoons, or quiet moments with her little ones. It's a deliberate choice that reflects her new priorities.
“I feel fulfilled,” she recently shared, adding that outside opinions no longer define her lifestyle. That sense of freedom is evident in her social media, where she posts everyday scenes—like exercising on a yacht deck while her baby mimics her moves—that resonate with her followers.
Her calm stance toward Brady's new relationship is a far cry from the drama that often surrounds celebrity splits. Instead, she's rooting for him to find happiness, just as she has. “She wants the father of her children to be happy,” a source said, noting that Bündchen holds no ill will.
A lesson in resilience and values
For Bündchen, being a positive role model is paramount. She uses her platforms to highlight the importance of quality time and solid values in raising children. Her approach is simple: actions speak louder than words. By showing up for her kids every day, she's teaching them what truly matters.
This isn't the first time the supermodel has navigated a high-profile breakup with poise. After her divorce from Brady, she focused on healing and building a new life. Now, with Valente by her side, she's found a partnership that feels more aligned with her current self.
While Brady and Swanepoel make headlines, Bündchen remains above the fray. She's not engaging in any back-and-forth, nor is she seeking attention. Instead, she's enjoying the simple pleasures of motherhood in Miami, a city that has become her sanctuary.
Her story is a reminder that moving on doesn't have to mean bitterness. For Bündchen, it's about embracing the present and letting go of the past. As she often says, “Life is about choices,” and she's choosing joy, family, and authenticity.
