One interesting thing was at the time Gisele’s then husband Tom had replied to her Twitter post writing: ‘My days of leaving dishes in the sink are numbered.’
Joaquim and his brothers are sons of Pedro Valente Sr. who was awarded the highest degree in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the red belt and title of Grand Master, by Grandmaster Hélio Gracie who famously developed the martial art itself.
The Gracies also began the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 1993 to prove the effectiveness of their martial art which has since become the premier organization for the sport of mixed martial arts.

Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Gisele and her NFL superstar ex Tom It has been had an ‘ironclad prenup’ that allowed them to quickly settle their divorce, according to Page Six.
The former couple – who confirmed their split in October – boasts an estimated combined net worth of $733 million that includes a $26 million property portfolio and multiple businesses.
Brady, 45, and Bundchen reportedly hashed out an inflexible prenuptial agreement in 2009 that would protect their individual wealth and simplify the division of assets.

‘There was an ironclad prenup set down before they married in 2009,’ a source told the outlet Wednesday.
‘They both have their own separate business entities, so the separation of their wealth wasn’t that complicated in the end. The only other major factor was dividing up their massive property portfolio.’
It was claimed that the NFL legend – who is said to be worth approximately $333 million – will gain full ownership of the $17 million mansion located in Miami’s Indian Creek Island, which is often referred to as ‘Billionaire Bunker.’
Brady and Bundchen snapped up the waterfront property in 2020 before demolishing it and beginning construction. Construction on the mansion is still in its early stages.

As for Bundchen – who is considered the highest paid supermodel in the world with an estimated $400million net worth – sources claim that she will keep their vacation home on the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.
She quietly purchased a modest $1.25 million Miami Beach home in February and has reportedly purchased a large property also in the Miami area.
The former couple’s portfolio also includes: a home in the Bahamas, a home at the Yellowstone Club in Montana and the apartment in NYC where Bundchen hunkered down as rumors swirled about her split from Brady.
Page Six’s source adds that the duo had settled ‘the terms of the split and the division of their huge property portfolio’ before Bundchen filed for divorce on Friday, October 28.

The divorce was wrapped up within hours and the pair are now officially single, according to TMZ.
They are expected to share custody of their two children, Benjamin, 12, and Vivian, nine.
The alleged details of their divorce settlement comes after PEOPLE reported that Brady was ‘really trying to fix’ his marriage with Bundchen before the filing.
It was ‘too little, too late’ an insider close to the football player and the supermodel told the outlet.
The update comes as the mother-of-two is reportedly ‘doing fine’ following the announcement of their split.

The source added that the sports star ‘was trying to make things work, and to make things right.’
‘But at that point, it was a little bit too little, too late,’ the person divulged. ‘She gave him a lot of opportunities to fix things, and he didn’t.’
A three-page court-issued document confirmed the thirteen-year marriage is ‘irretrievably broken.’
Gisele filed for divorce because she felt her partner ‘wasn’t as attentive as he should’ve been.’

‘That’s what [Gisele] wanted: to be heard. And he wasn’t hearing her,’ the insider noted to the site.
As Bundchen, a native of Brazil, raised their two children — Benjamin and Vivian — the athlete was ‘busy following his passion.’
Brady also shares 15-year-old son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan.
Someone familiar with the quarterback dished, ‘When he’s in the middle of a season, [Brady] does what most NFL players do: live, breathe, eat and sleep football,’ adding, ‘Tom is more like that than anyone.’
Another source countered: ‘He was always there for her and the kids. Even during football.
‘He’s an anomaly because he’s played for so long. Yes, he worked just like any parent worked, but he always spends a great deal of time with his family.’

Meanwhile, the beauty and environmental activist is reportedly adjusting well to her new life.
‘Gisele is dealing with issues that have been plaguing her for a long time,’ a source told People.
And although it was ‘hard at first, enough time has passed that she is settling in.’
The independent runway star ‘has lived her own life for years while Tom played football so she is not afraid to do things by herself.’

During this new chapter she’s moving forward with the help of her brood.
