AceShowbiz - Following her split from NFL star Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen has embraced a new chapter in her life marked by self-discovery and newfound companionship. The 43-year-old supermodel recently enjoyed a romantic getaway to Costa Rica with jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente.

During their sun-soaked vacation, Bundchen and Valente were photographed spending quality time with her children, Vivian and Benjamin. Valente reportedly became close to the family when he taught Benjamin martial arts.

Following the fun trip, Bundchen returned to Miami. Most recently, she was caught on camera on a morning walk with her German Shepherd named Alfie. She also carried her black-and-white pooch, Fluffy, whom she adopted with Brady back in 2016.

Despite the romantic speculation surrounding their relationship, the duo maintains a close bond based on friendship and mutual respect. Bundchen has stated that Valente is a trusted teacher for her and her children, and their connection goes beyond a traditional dating scenario.

In addition to her personal growth, Bundchen has also prioritized her physical and mental well-being. She has shared her journey of self-love and the importance of prioritizing herself. "I'm living, which is different," she remarked.

Bundchen's physical transformation has been evident in recent outings. She has maintained a healthy lifestyle that includes regular workouts, yoga, and weightlifting. "I work out every day," she said.

Amidst the personal growth and new connections, Bundchen has also returned to work with renewed energy. She recently graced the cover of Vogue and participated in a captivating campaign for a Brazilian footwear brand.

As she navigates her new path, Bundchen emphasizes the importance of perspective and the power of positive thinking. "Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth," she recently shared on Instagram. "We are the co-creators of our own reality, what we believe we create!"
