Gisele Bündchen and her beau Joaquim Valente are apparently still going strong and setting relationship goals—even for their dog.
The dynamic duo was spotted flaunting their affection for each other in public, just like every other couple who loves the spotlight. This comes after rumors swirled that they had split due to the fallout from the Tom Brady roast special back in May.
In the latest paparazzi snaps scooped up by Page Six, the supermodel and her jiu-jitsu trainer-turned-boyfriend were seen in Surfside, Florida, on a sunny Saturday afternoon. They weren’t just walking her dog—they were redefining what it means to walk a dog, with their loving glances and sweet gestures making the pup look like the third wheel.
An insider spilled the beans to InTouch Weekly, saying that the “spotlight was too much” for poor Joaquim. “Joaquim’s just a regular guy. He’s not used to all this Hollywood hullabaloo,” the source revealed, probably while adjusting their sunglasses and sipping on a smoothie.
“People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce,” the insider added. “He hated that.” Who wouldn’t? Imagine being the punchline in a joke you never signed up for! If Joaquim wanted to be in the spotlight, he’d have gone to Hollywood instead of the dojo.
So, for now, it looks like Gisele and Joaquim are still rolling together—both on the mats and in life. And as for their dog, well, he’s just happy to be along for the ride.
