Fans were shocked when Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They were even more taken aback when Gisele started dating her jiujitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, in mid-2023. About one year into the relationship, however, she and Joaquim have reportedly called it quits—and evidently, the Netflix roast of Tom is to blame.

To recap, Tom and Gisele started dating in early 2007 before tying the knot in February 2009. They welcomed two children, a son named Benjamin, 14, and a daughter named Vivian, 11. Unfortunately, the NFL quarterback's decision to un-retire put a huge strain on their relationship; the couple finalized their divorce in October 2022.
Following her divorce from Tom, Gisele started dating Joaquim Valente.
In February 2024, People reported that Gisele and Joaquim were in a relationship.
"They have been dating since June [2023]," a source told the publication. "They're taking it slow. They started out as great friends first. She's very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other."
Reportedly, Gisle and Joaquim have split.
On June 12, a source reportedly told In Touch Weekly that Gisele and Joaquim broke up. “The spotlight was too much for him,” the source explained. “Joaquim’s a regular guy. He’s not used to all the attention he was getting.”
Tom Brady's Netflix roast reportedly played a part in the breakup.
Reportedly, Tom's Netflix roast on May 5 contributed to Gisele and Joaquim's split. “Joaquim became part of the joke,” the source said. “People actually started asking him if he was the reason for their divorce. He hated that.”
Gisele reportedly blames Tom.
According to the source, Gisele is upset with her ex-husband. “She blames the break on Tom,” they explained. “By agreeing to do the roast, he basically put a target on Joaquim’s back.”
What was said about Joaquim during Tom's Netflix roast?
During Kevin Hart's roast of Tom, the comedian joked about the quarterback leaving New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"You f—d him good. You did, Tom, you f—d your coach, but let me tell you something people…That’s what you’ve got to do to maintain your happiness," Kevin said. "You sometimes got to f— your coach. You know who else f—ed their coach? Gisele. She f—d that karate man."
Kevin added: "One of the smartest quarterbacks ever played a game. How did you not see this coming? Eight f—ing karate classes a day…Eight karate classes a day and she’s still a white belt."
Gisele denied reports of having an affair.
In March 2024, Gisele addressed the rumors of her having an affair before leaving Tom. “That is a lie,” she told The New York Times of the accusations involving Joaquim. “I really don’t want to make my life a tabloid. I don’t want to open myself up to all of that.”
