Jiu-Jitsu Instructor with Gisele Bündchen Traveled to Train Kids for Home School

Gisele Bündchen and jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente have raised a lot of suspicion as to possible romantic ties, but we at least now know one of the reasons he’s traveled with her to Costa Rica … he’s training her and Tom Brady‘s kids.

Sources close to Gisele tell us the kids, Benjamin and Vivian, are homeschooled and have a team travel with them to make sure they’re receiving all the necessities for their education. We’re told there’s a full-time teacher who travels to teach the kids their basics … and Valente as well.

Our sources say Valente handles the physical education aspect of the homeschooling — which makes sense considering he’s trained them in jiu-jitsu — after connecting in Miami.

Nonetheless, it does feel odd Valente was able to up and leave his jiu-jitsu biz back home for several weeks while he’s with Gisele and crew … though you gotta imagine the money is good.

While it’s not 100% clear where Gisele and Joaquim stand, we still haven’t seen any PDA, and our Gisele sources are adamant — there’s nothing romantic. However, one source close to the former couple still believes the timing of the trip is interesting considering her and Tom just finalized their divorce.
