An insider explains Gisele Bündchen’s intentions behind her low-key wedding to Joaquim Valente.
This weekend, reports emerged about her wedding People confirming that the wedding took place on December 3 in Surfside, Florida.
The event took place as discreetly as the model had planned, small and intimate.
“Gisele didn’t feel the need to share the wedding with anyone outside her family,” the insider said. “It just reflected where she is in her life.”
The couple, who welcomed a baby boy earlier this year, got married in a low-key ceremony at their home.
“After the baby was born, it felt natural to get married. It wasn’t about pressure or outside expectations. It was something she wanted for personal reasons and for her family. She is very, very happy,” the source added.
The insider noted that Bündchen’s life in Florida with Valente, 38, reflects a slower pace and a renewed focus on her children, son Benjamin Rein, 15, and daughter Vivian Lake, 12, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Tom Brady.
“She is focused on family, family life and creating a peaceful environment for her children,” the Brazilian model’s source added.
Bündchen and Valente started dating in June 2023, although they were first spotted together during a trip to Costa Rica in late 2022.
The source added that the couple is aligned in terms of values and lifestyle. “His calm, low-key approach fits perfectly with where she is now. They are focused on family, balance and well-being,” the insider said.
