Gisele Bündchen is addressing all those rumors about her dating life that have been swirling since her split from Tom Brady.
During the Brazilian supermodel’s Vanity Fair interview, Bündchen shut down speculation that she was dating real estate developer, 55-year-old billionaire Jeffrey Soffer.
“I have zero relationship with him in any way. He’s Tom’s friend, not my friend. I wouldn’t be with his friend. I wouldn’t be with this guy,” she said.

“I mean, puh-leeze. They were saying I’m with this guy, he’s old, because he’s got money — it’s ridiculous.”
Despite the rumors, the 42-year-old has her own multi-million-dollar empire.

In 2022, the Brazilian model made an estimated $47 million.
According to Forbes, Bündchen even out-earned her ex-quarterback husband, cashing in with about $16 million more than his $31.1 million.

Soffer was previously married to Australian model Elle Macpherson.
“Why would somebody plant something like this? There’s only one reason. They want to make me look like something I’m not,” Bündchen continued.
The model revealed during the emotional interview that “people have been creating false stories about me from the beginning of the divorce.”

“Seeing lies being created all the time about yourself is not easy.”
The former Victoria’s Secret model noted that she attempts to “take the high road” for her kids.
“I’m a simple girl who wants to be in nature — leave me alone. I just want to go do my job and raise my children in peace,” she explained.
There has also been speculation that Bündchen is dating her jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, as the two have been seen spending time together in Costa Rica.
Bündchen admitted to Vanity Fair that her kids “love” practicing jiu-jitsu and have “thrown themselves” into the martial art.
She didn’t say anything about the reports that she and Valente are dating. But she did tell the outlet, “I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything.”
Bündchen went on to praise Vanete as well as his brothers saying she’s “grateful” to know them.
“Not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially. He’s our teacher and, most importantly, he’s a person that I admire and that I trust. It’s so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy.”

“As time goes by, we realize that we just wanted different things, and now we have a choice to make. That doesn’t mean you don’t love the person.
