The Brazilian beauty rocked a white sweatshirt, black leggings while hiding under a white baseball cap as she made her way through the neighborhood with one of her small pooches and another large hound.
Insiders close to the mother-of-two revealed the happy news last year following Bündchen's 2022 divorce from the football star.

"Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family," a source told
People in October 2024.
Bündchen and Valente, who is the family's jiu-jitsu trainer, have been linked since November 2022 after they were seen in Provincia de Puntarenas in Costa Rica with her
two kids.

However, the couple didn't make their relationship public until June 2023, long after her split with Brady was finalized.
In October 2022, the matriarch and the footballer announced they were pulling the plug on their union after 13 years. "The decision to
end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we spent together and only wish the best for Tom always," she penned in the announcement shared to Instagram.

Brady shared his sorrow in a post of his own, but made clear their children were always their top priority.
"We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we
spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve," the NFL star noted.

Moving on from Brady and their life together was difficult for Bündchen at first. "I think there's easier days than others, and I can only control what I do," she admitted in a March 2024 interview with
Good Morning America as she got emotional.
"Where my heart is now is where I am right now. I'm living my truth, and I'm not apologizing for it," Bündchen added.
