Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen is more famous than most other players in the NFL, given her connection with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. The Victoria’s Secret model married the NFL star in 2009 and spent 13 years together. The couple has two kids together, named Benjamin Rein and Vivian Lake. And now, after more than a decade, a question is continuously popping up in the media circle, i.e. who is Gisele Bündchen’s boyfriend?
Bündchen and Brady decided to have a mutual divorce after a year of disagreements between the couple. Most of those squabbles started after Tom Brady decided to make a return to the NFL only 40 days after he had retired from the NFL.
Bündchen did not approve of his coming back to the sport, as she wanted him to spend more time with the family. Since the divorce, Gisele Bündchen has been linked with a number of men, who could be prospective love interests for the Brazilian model.
The latest one to join the discussion is billionaire Jeffrey Soffer. The 55-year-old has been spotted with Gisele Bündchen several times over the past few months, as reported by reputed sports outlet, Daily Mail. According to the report, the duo meets secretly once a month, and it also helps that Soffer stays in the same neighborhood as Gisele.

Who is Jeffrey Soffer?
Jeffrey Soffer happens to be one of the seven kids of billionaire Donald Soffer, who was a real estate mastermind, who earned most of his wealth developing the city of Aventura in Florida. Soffer is most well known for being married to Australian actress Elle MacPherson for four years, from 2013 to 2017.
Soffer also happens to be a longtime friend and confidant of Bündchen’s ex-husband, Tom Brady. Brady and Soffer were most recently spotted hanging out together in January, and have been friends for a number of years now.
Soffer’s current net worth is reportedly a whopping $2.2 billion, which is almost four times as much as Gisele Bündchen’s ex-husband, Tom Brady. Soffer runs a real estate company with his sister and is the proud owner of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami.
However, all these links are mere rumors at this point, but they seem to have already grabbed the attention of Gisele Bündchen. The model sent out a post on Instagram, almost hinting that she isn’t involved with Jeffrey Soffer and that these rumors are false.

Joaquim Valente (2022-2023)
Gisele Bündchen and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente sparked dating rumors in November 2022 when they were spotted together at a restaurant in Costa Rica, along with Gisele’s children from her previous marriage to Tom Brady. However, sources clarified that they were just friends who had met in 2021 when Gisele and Tom enrolled their son in jiu-jitsu lessons. They frequently traveled together as Joaquim and another instructor, Jordan, taught her children.
In February 2022, Gisele praised the Valente brothers for their teaching skills and mentioned the positive impact of self-defense training. Tom Brady playfully responded to her post on social media. Despite the rumors, Gisele and Joaquim’s relationship remained platonic.
Photographs of them jogging in Costa Rica in January 2023 and walking their dogs in March 2023 fueled more speculation. Sources suggested that their bond was deep but not necessarily romantic. Gisele emphasized her trust in Joaquim and how he had become an important figure in her life. Despite media interest, she focused on her well-being, fitness, and spending time with her children in Brazil, expressing gratitude for her close-knit circle that included Joaquim.
Jeffrey Soffer (2023)
In March 2023, reports suggested a connection between Gisele Bündchen and billionaire developer Jeffrey Soffer, claiming they had been spending time together for several months. Soffer, previously married to supermodel Elle Macpherson, is known to be a friend of Gisele’s ex-husband, Tom Brady. They were neighbors in 2020 when Gisele and Tom bought land near Soffer’s mansion in Miami. However, Gisele denied any romantic involvement with Soffer, stating they had no relationship. Soffer, a prominent figure in real estate development, has a net worth of $2.2 billion, according to Forbes.
Tom Brady (2006-2022)
Gisele and Brady met on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend in 2006, marking the beginning of their relationship. They faced challenges in February 2007 when Tom’s ex-girlfriend, Bridget Moynahan, announced her pregnancy. However, Gisele embraced her role as a stepmother, and their bond grew stronger. The couple got engaged in January 2009 and married a month later, eventually welcoming two children, Benjamin and Vivian.
After 13 years of marriage, Gisele and Tom filed for divorce in October 2022, which they confirmed through separate statements on their Instagram Stories. The divorce followed reports of tensions, particularly regarding Tom’s decision to unretire from the NFL. Gisele had given him an ultimatum to prioritize their family over his football career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the difficulties, they expressed gratitude for their time together and pledged to co-parent their children with love and care.
Josh Hartnett (2006)
In 2006, Gisele Bündchen and Josh Hartnett made headlines when they were spotted kissing outside a New York City restaurant, shortly after Josh’s breakup with Scarlett Johansson.

She viewed their time together as a learning experience, recognizing that everyone who enters our lives teaches us something about ourselves. Gisele also revealed that the relationship had led to anxiety and panic attacks, prompting her to seek help and prioritize her mental health. She made substantial changes in her life, including diet and wellness practices, to focus on her well-being and personal growth.
