A Look Back at Gisele Bundchen’s Dating History: From Tom Brady to Leonardo DiCaprio and Beyond
Gisele Bündchen isn’t just captivating on the runway; her personal life is equally intriguing to fans.
Since rising to global fame, Bündchen has faced challenges in keeping her romantic endeavors out of the limelight.
“If everything that’s written about me was true, I’d have about 10 kids and I’d be married five times,” she stated in an interview with Arena magazine back in 2008. “One of them with some actor named Chris Evans, whose name I heard for the first time two hours ago.”
Before her marriage to NFL star Tom Brady, Bündchen dated fellow celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio. Following the end of her love story with Brady, she garnered attention again when she started a romance with Joaquim Valente.

Scott Barnhill
In 1999, Bündchen was in a brief relationship with fellow model Barnhill. They even collaborated on a poolside shoot for Vogue. However, the relationship ended later that same year, with Barnhill confirming to E! News: “We just recently split up, but you know, life goes on. I’m definitely working through it, I’m moving on.”
Leonardo DiCaprio
From 2000 to 2005, Bündchen and DiCaprio enjoyed a glamorous relationship. After their breakup, the supermodel opened up about the challenges they faced.
“I was no longer numbing myself with smoking, drinking, and too much work, which made me more aware of issues I had chosen to ignore,” she told PORTER magazine in February 2019. “Was I alone in wanting some serious soul-searching while he remained the same? Unfortunately, the answer was yes.”
Tom Brady
After her relationship with DiCaprio, Bündchen began dating Brady. They met through mutual friends in December 2006 and went public with their relationship in February 2007. Two years later, the couple tied the knot at St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California.
During their union, they welcomed a son, Benjamin Rein, and a daughter, Vivian Lake. However, after 13 years of marriage, they divorced in October 2022, agreeing to share joint custody of their children.
“I have [had] incredible experiences, and I learned so much. My children are the greatest blessing in my life,” Bündchen shared with Robin Roberts in March 2024 following the divorce. “Now, I get to create a new season, a new chapter in my life. I get to walk my path in a different way.”
Joaquim Valente
Romantic speculation around Valente and Bündchen began in November 2022 when they were seen vacationing together. Five months later, the supermodel seemingly addressed the rumors while expressing her admiration for the jiu-jitsu instructor.
“I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that [people will] try to attach me to anything,” she mentioned in a Vanity Fair cover story. “I’m so grateful to know [Joaquim and his siblings], as they’ve not only helped me but also my kids, and they’ve become great friends, especially Joaquim.”
This summer, their relationship deepened. In October 2024, People announced that Bündchen and Valente are expecting their first child. The couple welcomed their son in February 2025, and later that year, Us Weekly confirmed their marriage in December 2025.
