It’s actually because of my son that I met Joaquim. I have a friend who told me about the Valente brothers and their martial art school, and since I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction, I thought he might be interested in this.
Gisele also joined jiu-jitsu classes at the Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu Academy after she felt like it was more than self-defence. Through the classes, she started talking to Joaquim, and people started speculating that they were dating.

I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially. He’s our teacher, and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.
According to People, the two had been dating since June 2023. They started as friends, and Joaquim helped the model go through her divorce. In October 2024, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child, and they welcomed their new baby in February 2025.

From the outside, it looked like I had everything, and I was just 22 years old. On the inside, I felt as if I’d hit rock bottom. I was starting my day with a mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream and three cigarettes, and then drinking a bottle of wine every night.
Due to her unhealthy lifestyle, she sought advice from her friend, who suggested that she should consider naturopathy. Gisele listened to her friend and sought a naturopath’s help, who prescribed her a detox.

Gisele said that to her, Leonardo came into her life to show her more about who she was, and she honours him for what he was.
Everyone who crosses our path is a teacher; they come into our lives to show us something about ourselves. And I think that's what he was. What is good versus bad? I honour him for what he was.
The break-up was amicable. As per Vanity Fair, the two still talk as friends and respect each other despite their breakup. She said that they were young and grew together in many ways, but were not meant to be in a relationship, and that she wishes him the best.
Leo is a really wonderful person. We still speak sometimes, and I’m friends with his mom....We know what we had; we were very young, and we grew together in a lot of ways. We were just not meant to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but I respect him enormously, and I wish him nothing but the best.
