Gisele Bundchen and handsome boyfriend Joaquim Valente put on a loved-up display as they walk the dogs in Surfside, Florida. In fact, such is the strength of their relationship, Valente has moved into the supermodel’s $11.5 million newly-renovated Miami mansion, debunking false rumors of a split. Breakup speculation around the catwalk queen and her jiujitsu trainer boyfriend, 36, could not be further from the truth, as these exclusive photos show the Brazilian-born lovebirds have taken their romance to the next level by setting up home together. These stunning aerial images reveal the newly renovated dream home, where the two have been staying together, in all its glory having undergone a huge facelift. Nestled in a ritzy neighborhood just across Biscayne Bay from ex-husband Tom Brady’s newly-built mansion, the 43-year-old’s sleek two-storey property boasts a glistening pool, sprawling sundeck and freshly resurfaced balcony off the master bedroom. A new roof and floor-to-ceiling windows were also part of the contemporary makeover, which has spanned 18 months. Further disproving reports that their love affair was over, these aerial shots clearly show Valente’s truck parked in the driveway of the residence. And debunks claims that their affair was “fizzling out” amid stress sparked by public attention and Brady’s brutal Netflix roast. These images prove the duo are still firmly an item although they have been staying low key and not been pictured together in months. Gisele is known to have been traveling to and from her native Brazil in the wake of her mother’s recent death. She had splashed out on the Surfside fixer-upper in November 2022 while NFL legend Brady kept the ambitious new construction they had originally started together just a stone’s throw away on Indian Creek Island, dubbed “Billionaire Bunker”.

When it comes to Tom Brady's thoughts on the relationship, the sportsman was aware of their romance but was reportedly caught off guard when he learned the news about the pregnancy. 

“Tom knew that things were serious between Gisele and Joaquin but he never imagined they would be having a child together,” a source told Page Six. “It just wasn’t something that was on his radar. So when Gisele broke the news to him he was stunned, to say the least.”
