Gisele Bündchen, who is pregnant with her third child, was recently photographed at a beach in Costa Rica with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. But here’s something interesting about their outing – it’s the exact place she had a second wedding ceremony with her ex-husband, football star Tom Brady.
The supermodel was very beautiful in a black bikini and a sheer white cover-up. She was just as beautiful as ever while walking along the beach with Joaquim, a Brazilian jujitsu instructor.
Here’s what we know about their Costa Rican getaway so far.
Costa Rica Beach Getaway
Gisele has always loved Costa Rica. The beach she visited is where she and her ex-husband once owned a stunning beachfront property. During their 13-year marriage, which ended in late 2022, Gisele and Tom would come to Costa Rica several times.
The beachfront property is where they would go for some unwinding, especially in Tom’s case, following a very tough football season. The charm of Costa Rica still seems to be a special place for Gisele, even at the start of this new chapter in her life.
During her previous interview, Gisele shared how she adores Costa Rica, which has become her “home away from home.” The “Pura Vida” lifestyle inspires the idea of bringing her kids to this country; she feels that it might just give her the simple and normal life that she wanted her kids to experience just as she had during her own childhood years in Brazil.
Looking Fabulous
Even with a baby on board, Gisele is looking fantastic. Her sheer white cover-up in this two-piece bikini had her standing tall and great for the hot day. For a very casual look, she paired olive green flip-flops with her oversized cat-eye sunglasses. Makeup was fresh and simple, while her peachy lips helped draw out the natural loveliness in her face.
Meanwhile, Joaquim was looking just comfortable, with an olive-green T-shirt, camouflage shorts, and black flip-flops. His very casual style fits the leisurely feel of their beach escapade in Costa Rica. They look great together.
Who Is Gisele’s New Boyfriend?
Gisele’s new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente, leads a much more private life than her ex-husband, Tom Brady. He is a Miami-based jiu-jitsu instructor, and like Gisele, he is Brazilian. According to reports, the two met through the Valente Brothers martial arts academy. Gisele trained here in self-defense after her divorce. Joaquim, along with his brothers Pedro and Gui, runs the academy, which trains a variety of high-profile clients.
The romance of Gisele and Joaquim started surfacing around late 2022. Some spotted them over a romantic dinner in Costa Rica. Since then, the two were often spotted together, sometimes even accompanied by Gisele’s children, Benjamin and Vivian.
It’s not hard to figure out what brings them together. Besides sharing Gisele’s Brazilian heritage, they both love fitness and martial arts. One of the most intriguing facts about Joaquim is that, besides being an accomplished martial artist, he has a degree in criminology.
Babymoon
At five or six months pregnant, Gisele appears to be savoring a babymoon in Costa Rica. A babymoon is a peaceful retreat for expectant parents to relax and connect before their baby arrives. It’s similar to a honeymoon but emphasizes the couple’s relationship as they prepare for parenthood.
A babymoon is centered around relaxation, and Costa Rica is an ideal destination for this. The serene beaches allow you to unwind completely, accompanied by the soothing sound of the ocean.
So, expectant parents, you surely deserve that much-needed break before your little one arrives. You don’t have to go far, but if you want an exotic escapade, then Costa Rica is the place to head to. It’s simply an awesome place to just unwind and spend quality time with your partner.
