In February 2024, a source told People magazine, “Joaquin is a wonderful guy. He’s down to earth, kind, and inspirational. After her divorce, Gisele was hesitant to date. It was a very natural thing for her to date Joaquin.”
The source continued, “They have similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil at a young age. They’ve both built great lives in America. They both love Miami, but they also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living. Gisele is in a great place. She’s happy and enjoying life so much. Joaquín is the perfect fit for her.”
The model said something very similar in her own words during an interview with The New York Times
“It’s the first time I’m meeting someone who used to be my friend,” she explained. “That’s totally different. Very honest, very transparent.”
