Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente call it quits over Tom Brady’s Netflix roast, claims source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Gisele Bundchen, 43, and Joaquim Valente, 34, have reportedly called quits on their relationship and the Brazilian supermodel blames her ex-husband Tom Brady for this split.
Gisele and her jiu-jitsu trainer beau have not been photographed together since April, which fueled speculation of their separation.
Recently, an insider close to the couple shared with InTouch Weekly on Thursday, June 13, that Valente felt the “spotlight was too much” following Brady’s Netflix roast.
Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente have reportedly split
The insider shared that Valente, who was Gisele’s jiu-jitsu instructor before their relationship turned romantic, is just a “regular guy” and the sudden surge in attention felt too much for him.
“The spotlight was too much for him,” opined the insider before adding, “Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting.”
They further added that Brady’s Netflix roast - where several jokes were aimed at the couple’s romance - is also responsible for the separation.
The source shared, “Joaquim became part of the joke. People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce,” before adding, “He hated that.”
They also revealed that Brady’s ex-wife was displeased with the NFL star’s roast.
“She blames the break on Tom,” revealed the source, before adding, “By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.”
Tom Brady mocked in Netflix roast
On May 5, Brady was the subject of the Netflix special ‘The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady’, where the quarterback was mocked for his professional career and his divorce from Gisele.
Comedian Kevin Hart led the roast by first mocking him for choosing to "unretire" to play one final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per People.
Hart said, "Gisele gave you an ultimatum," and added, "She said you have to retire or you're done. But when you have a chance to go 8-9 you gotta do it."
He went on to shade her relationship with Valente, saying, "You know who also f**ked their coach? Gisele, she f**ked her karate coach," and added, "Tom, how did you not see this coming? Eight karate classes a day?"
After Hart, more of Brady's roasters came after the former NFL star about his marriage.
