Gisele Bundchen, the supermodel and activist, has long lived in the public eye. From her fashion choices and runway appearances to her advocacy work, she has remained a constant presence in the spotlight. However, that level of attention has also come with its downsides. It appears that Bundchen is now ready to step away from the “always being extra” expectations that often come with fame.
This shift is why Gisele is making a conscious effort to keep her life low-key and out of public view. According to sources, she is “tired of all the attention.” That desire for privacy extended to her relationship with Joaquim Valente, including their wedding. Even dating the jiu-jitsu instructor marked a move toward a more private life.
Gisele Bundchen didn’t want ‘anything over the top’ for Joaquim Valente wedding, per source
Gisele Bundchen married Joaquim Valente on December 3, 2026, in a ceremony that was intentionally small and private. A source close to the 45-year-old model said that this approach was exactly what she wanted. The source added that “a small, private non-event” aligned perfectly with her idea of a dream wedding at this stage of her life.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the source explained that Bundchen has grown weary of constant public scrutiny. They added that she and Valente are content focusing on their life together. They are excited about what lies ahead. As new parents, they reportedly felt this quieter approach suited them best.
The source said that Bundchen currently centers her life around her work, family, and children. “She is happy being married again, happy being a mom, and happy in her environment. It is an enviable position!” the source said. Reportedly, Bundchen is now prioritizing doing things on her own terms.
