GISELE Bundchen has been spotted paddleboarding with her jiu-jitsu sensei Joaquim Valente.
The Brazilian supermodel, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, has been often linked to the martial arts instructor since her split from NFL icon Tom Brady.
Bundchen, 42, was all smiles during her paddleboard session with Valente, 34, in Miami on Sunday.
The model stunned in a black string bikini while wearing a pair of sunglasses and a straw hat to protect herself from the scorching Florida sun.
And Valente — who is also Brazilian — sported a pair of green shorts and a matching baseball cap.
Gisele gave a vague response when asked about her relationship with the jiu-jitsu instructor in her March interview with Vanity Fair.
"I think, at this point, unfortunately, because I’m divorced, I’m sure that they’re going to try to attach me to anything," she said of the rumors in the media.
Together with son Benjamin and daughter Vivian, Bundchen has been practicing martial arts at Valente's academy in Miami — which he runs with brothers Pedro and Gui — for about two years.
Gisele and Joaquim were spotted having dinner in Costa Rica last November before being seen together on a stroll with a dog in March.
"I’m so grateful to know all of them, because not only have they helped me and helped my kids, but they have become great friends, and Joaquim especially," Bundchen said of the Valente brothers in March.

"[Joaquim] is 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."
While still reportedly "sad about the end of her marriage" to Brady, Bundchen is believed to be feeling "excited for her future."
The couple made their divorce official in October 2022, splitting up after 13 years together.
Gisele's schedule has been packed since the hurtful breakup, modeling for Arezzo, Vivara, and Jimmy Choo among other projects.
Recently, she also raised over $1million for charity by selling off personal clothing at the Luz Alliance Gala.
