Gisele Bündchen Shows Off Her New Jiu-Jitsu-Instructor Boyfriend—And Her Abs—Paddleboarding In A String Bikini

If there’s anyone who knows how to confidently rock a bikini, it’s supermodel Gisele Bündchen. Each time the Brazilian bombshell has slipped into a bathing suit, she has provided us with major fashion inspiration. We can’t forget about the high-cut Louis Vuitton swimsuit she wore and the Barbiecore pink bathing suit she donned for the cover of Vanity Fair. And now, Gisele showed off her model figure in a black string bikini while paddleboarding with her rumored boyfriend and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente in Miami.

Gisele and her hunky jiu-jitsu instructor-boyfriend hit the waves in Miami for a paddleboarding date. For the occasion, Gisele wore a black string bikini to show off her abs. The bikini featured triangle cups and a thong bottom to flaunt her toned glutes. She accessorized with a tan sunhat and cool black shades. Gisele styled her honey-blonde hair in relaxed waves that fell past her shoulders. She kept her makeup minimal to let her natural beauty speak for itself.

The supermodel and the martial arts pro were all smiles as they paddleboarded on the water. Joaquim opted for khaki board shorts and no shirt. He accessorized with a baseball hat. This isn’t the first time the duo have been spotted together—they were papped hanging out in Costa Rica in January. Gisele recently addressed her relationship with Joaquim after months of speculation.

“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything,” she told Vanity Fair. The model also raved about Joaquim’s family saying, “I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially.”

Gisele continued, “He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”

The supermodel also denied rumors that she was dating her ex-husband Tom Brady’s friend and neighbor, Jeffrey Soffer, a billionaire. “I have zero relationship with him in any way,” she explained. “He’s Tom’s friend, not my friend. I wouldn’t be with his friend,” she added. “I wouldn’t be with this guy. I mean, puh-leeze. They were saying I’m with this guy, he’s old, because he’s got money—it’s ridiculous.”
