Gisele Bündchen’s recent marriage has sparked fresh debate within her inner circle, with reports suggesting family members are uneasy about the financial imbalance between the supermodel and her husband.
Bündchen, one of the world’s highest-paid supermodels, was previously married to NFL star Tom Brady before their divorce in 2022.

Gisele Bündchen’s family is reportedly concerned about her decision to marry jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, citing the vast gap between the supermodel’s wealth and her husband’s finances, according to a Page Six report.
Sources told Page Six that Bündchen’s inner circle warned her against marrying “a penniless guy” despite her estimated $400 million fortune, urging her instead to live with Valente before tying the knot. The couple, who share a son born in February 2025, quietly married in November.
While Valente runs a jiu-jitsu academy in Miami with his brothers and counts celebrity clients among his students, sources say Bündchen’s family felt she rushed into marriage due to pressure and her traditional values. The couple reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement, though sources claim it contains loopholes that could allow a financial settlement in the event of a divorce.
Bündchen, one of the world’s highest-paid supermodels with major contracts and global brand endorsements, divorced former NFL star Tom Brady in 2022. Representatives for Bündchen and Valente did not respond to requests for comment.
