Supermodel, Gisele Bundchen's family has not yet accepted her second husband, Joaquim Valente, due to the huge wealth gap between them.
Gisele Bundchen is a famous Brazilian model and activist. She is one of the highest-paid supermodels in the world with a huge wealth. In November 2025, Gisele Bundchen quietly married Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente after her divorce from Tom Brady in 2022. However, it seems her family has not yet accepted the marriage because they think there is a significant wealth disparity.
In November 2025, Gisele Bundchen tied the knot with Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente. Before the marriage, the couple had welcomed their first child. According to reports, her family has not yet accepted her second marriage, primarily due to the couple's significant wealth disparity.
As per a source close to the family, they warned the supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, who is 45 years old, that she was making a huge mistake. The report further claims that the supermodel was influenced by the model's traditional values, which talked about marriage after having a child together. They wanted the couple to live together before getting married. The source shared:
"Her family warned her that marrying a penniless guy when she is worth millions is a mistake. Her family told her to just live with him, but between Valente's pressure and her being a traditionalist, she felt since they have a child, they might as well marry."
It is worth mentioning that Gisele Bundchen and her second husband, Joaquim Valente, co-own a jiu-jitsu academy in Miami and have many celebrity clients. However, her second husband, Joaquim Valente, has a huge wealth difference as compared to the supermodel's net worth, which is estimated to be around USD 400 million as of 2026. She has built a massive empire for herself since 2001. It includes modelling contracts, luxury campaigns and huge business ventures.
It is worth mentioning that Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente signed a prenup, but it is not the level of protection the supermodel's family wanted, as they think the model might land in trouble even if they ever decide to separate. According to a source, there will be a financial settlement from him. The insider told the outlet:
"There is a prenup, but with some loopholes that mean if they divorce, there will be a financial settlement for him."
It is worth noting that the supermodel has not given it much thought, as she and Valente are deeply committed. A source close to Valente revealed that she is thrilled as they finally tied the knot. For the unversed, the couple welcomed their first child in February 2025.
Talking about Gisele Bundchen, she has a huge family, including her father, Vladir and five sisters — Raquel, Graziela, Gabriela, Rafaela, and fraternal twin Patricia. For the supermodel, her family holds a lot of place in her heart. In May 2023, she shared that her family is everything to her and that her sisters are her best friends, even if they sometimes disagree. The siblings share a great bond despite differences of opinion, especially after the demise of their mother, Vania, in January 2024, after a long battle with cancer. It is worth mentioning that Gisele Bundchen was earlier married to retired NFL star, Tom Brady. The two were together for 13 years until they parted ways in 2022. The ex-couple is blessed with two older children, Benjamin and Vivian.
