Gisele Bündchen is speaking her truth! The supermodel recently opened up to the New York Times in a tell-all interview, addressing rumors swirling around her personal life after her split from NFL star Tom Brady in 2022.
Shutting down the Cheating Chatter: Bündchen wasted no time squashing rumors that she cheated on Brady during their marriage. “That is a lie,” she stated firmly.
But is she dating again? The answer is yes! Bünchen confirmed she’s started dipping her toes back into the dating pool, but this time it’s different. “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first,” she revealed. She went on to describe the relationship as “honest” and “transparent.”
Keeping it Mum on the Mystery Man: While Bünchen remained tight-lipped about her new beau’s identity, reports suggest it could be jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, who also happens to be the family’s trainer.
Blasting Sexist Breakup Bias: Bünchen also shed light on why she believes these rumors gained traction in the first place. She pointed the finger at societal double standards, arguing that women are unfairly blamed when they leave unhealthy relationships. “They have to deal with their communities. They have to deal with their family,” she said. “Of course, for me, it just happens to be a little bit amplified.”
Looking Forward, Not Back: Bündchen made it clear she’s not interested in dwelling on the past. “No one really knows what happens between two people, only the two people in the relationship,” she stated.
Earlier this month, Bünchen hinted at her openness to love during an interview with Robin Roberts. “I don’t have a crystal ball,” she admitted, “but, yeah,” leaving the door open for future romance.
Gisele’s New Chapter: Despite the challenges of a high-profile split, Bünchen is embracing this new phase in her life. “Right now, really, my priority is my kids and creating this beautiful sanctuary for our family,” she shared. “It’s a new season, a new chapter,” she said excitedly. “I get to learn new things, and I get to walk my path in a different way.”
