There has been plenty of speculation concerning Gisele Bundchen’s love life since her high-profile split from NFL legend Tom Brady last year. There is one name, though, that constantly comes up in conversation… that of Joaquim Valente, Bundchen’s jiu-jitsu teacher.

It was after Valente was papped spending time with Bundchen her kids in Costa Rica that rumors really started to gain momentum, and such rumors have only strengthened by the jiu-jitsu hunk being featured on the models Instagram account on various occasion.

Valente made yet another appearance on the German Brazilian’s profile on Monday, this time in her IG stories. In the various photos and videos she uploaded, the two can be seen sharing a heartwarming embrace after she managed to advance to purple belt in her jiu-jitsu journey.

The model also took the opportunity to thank the Valente brothers for their ‘inspiring’ thirty years of work. “Your discipline and values are inspiring,” she wrote in the caption of the photo with the rest of the martial arts academy. “Thank you for teaching us this amazing art that helps us on and off the mat,” was her final message in a story which contained photos of her two children who are also learning jiu-jitsu.

The romantic rumors are gathering more and more strength. Despite not officially confirming their relationship, there are many who believe that the two are romantically invested in each other.
