Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente’s Dream Brazilian Wedding Plans: ‘It Will Definitely Be a Great Party’
It was a fun day out. Over Easter weekend, Gisele Bündchen and boyfriend Joaquim Valente were spotted enjoying the surf and sun with Karlie Kloss and her husband, Josh Kushner — as well as the pair’s sister-in- law, Ivanka Trump — on a beach in Costa Rica.
But the seaside outing wasn’t an adults-only affair. Also on hand were some of their children, including Gisele’s eldest, son Benjamin, 15.
The next time Gisele, 44, and Joaquim, 37, gather on the sand with friends and family, though, it might just be for their wedding. Life & Style has exclusively learned that the new parents — who welcomed a baby boy in February — are busy planning their dream nuptials in their native Brazil.
“It will definitely be a great party on the beach, with an open bar and dancing until dawn,” reveals an insider. “Friends say Gisele and Joaquim want traditional Brazilian touches, like pinning money to her wedding dress and late night pastries. Being with someone from their own country makes everything so much easier because they think the same way about many things thanks to their shared background.”
When Gisele married ex Tom Brady in 2009, “they held celebrations in California and Costa Rica, but it would’ve been nice to have done something bigger in her home country,” notes the insider. “This is finally her chance.”
And her kids with Tom — Ben and Vivian, 12 — are set to have large roles in the ceremony, spills the insider: “They’ll be involved as much as possible!”
Gisele Bündchen and Joaquim Valente Are Keeping Wedding Plans Under Wraps
Gisele and the 30-something jiu jitsu instructor have been ultra-private about their romance since they began dating following her 2022 divorce from Tom, 47 — and that’s not expected to change.
“They won’t announce anything until after they’re married,” predicts the insider.
Still, there will be lots of celebrating with loved ones. In addition to their South American nups, the duo are said to be hosting a party in Miami, where they currently live.
“Gisele’s a happy bride-to-be, savoring this time with Joaquim,” shares the insider, noting that fireworks are on the agenda for the pair’s supposed Florida shindig. “He’s telling her to plan whatever her heart desires; pals say Joaquim’s content if she is.”
Whether they invite Tom to either event remains to be seen.
“This wedding and marriage will no doubt be difficult for him, but he was preoccupied with football for a lot of the time he and Gisele were together,” adds the insider. “She sacrificed so much for him and his NFL career.”
In fact, friends believed scarred Gisele would never want to get married again after her experience, says the insider, “but Joaquim changed everything!”
