Gisele Bündchen is reportedly "loving" her new chapter with boyfriend Joaquim Valente after feeling like she was living in her ex-husband Tom Brady's "shadow."

The Super Bowl champion is also dad to son Jack, 17, whom he shares with ex Bridget Moynahan. Bündchen and Valente began dating in June 2023 and have kept a low profile since welcoming their first child together in early February.
