Gisele Bündchen Shines at End-of-Year Gala Following Recent Wedding
Supermodel Gisele Bündchen radiated a newlywed glow as she attended Vivara’s annual year-end dinner on December 19, mere weeks after secretly tying the knot with Joaquim Valente on December 3.
“Blooming night with @vivaraonline,” the 45-year-old posted on Instagram, congratulating the event’s organizer, Marina, for a celebration that was described as stunning. Bündchen wore a striking golden gown featuring cutouts and paired her look with gold earrings and rings. She completed her ensemble with a rosy-pink lip and loose waves in her hair.
At the gala, held at the Brasileira Cinema, Bündchen shared snapshots with friends, capturing the evening’s vibrant floral-themed tablescape. Hours prior, Us Weekly confirmed the model’s marriage to Valente, 38. The couple began dating in the summer of 2023 after Bündchen’s divorce from NFL star Tom Brady. They share two children: son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13.
Reflecting on her relationship with Valente, Bündchen shared with The New York Times in March 2024, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first. It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.” She also addressed rumors of infidelity regarding her past relationship with Brady, stating, “That is a lie. This is something that happens to a lot of women who get blamed when they have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship.”
In October 2024, sources revealed that Bündchen and Valente were expecting their first child together. When informing her children about the pregnancy, Bündchen also made sure to notify Brady, respecting their co-parenting dynamic.
Bündchen welcomed her third child, a son—name not disclosed—in February. Speaking about her postpartum experience in a May interview with Vogue France, she expressed gratitude for being home with her children and emphasized the impact of sleep on her routine.
“I love being with my family, especially when we can do outdoor activities together. Spending time with them is what makes me happiest,” she said.
Most recently, Bündchen made her red carpet return at fashion events in Qatar, celebrating innovation in the industry. Sharing her excitement on social media, she highlighted the importance of community in uplifting emerging designers, remarking on the energy and creativity that filled the room.
