Gisele Bündchen continues to show off her post-split glow! Since announcing her divorce from Tom Brady in October 2022, she’s rocked epic ensembles on the red carpet and soaked up the sun in Costa Rica on several occasions with her Jiu Jitsu instructor (and rumored boyfriend) Joaquim Valente.
While many have suspected Valente to be Bündchen’s new flame after finalizing her divorce, insiders reportedly told The Daily Mail that the supermodel, 42, is actually romantically linked to billionaire hotel magnate Jeffrey Soffer.

Gisele Bündchen & Jeffrey Soffer Are Romantically Linked, Insiders Say
Soffer, 55, is a friend of Bündchen’s ex Brady, 45, the publication notes, and also the former husband of fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson. According to a “well-placed” insider that spoke with the outlet, “Gisele has been spending time with Jeffrey Soffer.” The source added, “They’ve been seeing each other for several months now and meet secretly about once a week.”

Soffer and Brady have been “friends for years,” the source says, and in January, they were both photographed hanging out in Miami, and Brady and Bündchen’s daughter Vivian, 10, tagged along. Brady and Bündchen were married from 2009 to 2022, and also share one son Benjamin, 13, while Brady is also dad to the 15-year-old Jack, who he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan.

Who Is Jeffrey Soffer?
Bünchen’s supposed new love interest is a developer and hotelier who owns several luxury properties, including Miami’s legendary Fontainebleau Hotel. Today, The Daily Mail writes that Soffer is “worth an estimated $2.2 billion, with private jets, a superyacht and expansive properties at his disposal.”
He was married to Macpherson, 58, from 2013 to 2013 and share five children— two from Macpherson’s previous marriage to French financier Arpad Busson, 60, and three from Soffer’s prior relationship.

Bündchen Denies Dating Soffer In Vanity Fair Interview
When sitting down with Vanity Fair for an interview published last week, Bündchen addressed the Soffer dating rumors and quickly shut them down. “I have zero relationship with him in any way,” Bündchen told the magazine. “He’s Tom’s friend, not my friend.”

She also called the rumors “absurd.” She also stressed that she hasn’t seen Soffer in months, and would never date someone who was friends with her ex. “I wouldn’t be with [Brady’s] friend,” Bündchen said of Soffer. “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.”

What About Joaquim Valente?
Although Bündchen has been spotted with her hunky Jiu Jitsu instructor multiple times on what appear to be dates in Costa Rica this year, sources close to her have adamantly denied that the two are dating. The Daily Mail writes that insiders insist that Valente, 34, is just her close friend and fitness partner, nothing more.

On March 15th, the model uploaded a sunny selfie while sitting among plants, and seemed to cryptically address the Valente dating rumors in her caption. She wrote, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” (Interesting…)
