Gisele Bündchen Calls 10-Year-Old Daughter Vivian Her ‘Partner’ in Sweet New Vacation Pic

Jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente is not Gisele Bündchen’s only “partner” in Costa Rica.

On March 18, the 42-year-old supermodel shared video footage of her beach-side horseback riding adventure with her 10-year-old daughter Vivian Lake. In a second post on her Instagram Story, she shared a photo of the mother-daughter duo clasping their hands together as they ride side-by-side. “My little partner,” Bündchen captioned the pic, accompanied by the song “Better Together” by Jack Johnson.

Gisele Bündchen shares two children with her ex-husband Tom Brady: 10-year-old Vivian and 13-year-old Benjamin. Prior to her divorce from the newly retired NFL player in October 2022, Bündchen expressed her desire for Brady to be “more present” as a father. “I’ve done my part, which is [to] be there for [Tom],” Bündchen told Elle in September. “I moved to Boston, and I focused on creating a cocoon and a loving environment for my children to grow up in and to be there supporting him and his dreams.” 

She continued, “I feel very fulfilled in that way, as a mother, and as a wife. And now it’s going to be my turn. It’s not like I’m going to be in the [career] valley forever.” 

Since their split, Bündchen has made good on her promise to return to her modeling career, but that doesn’t mean she can’t take a vacation every now and again. Earlier this week, the model was photographed in Costa Rica alongside jujitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, who has accompanied Bündchen on two other trips to the Central American country since her divorce from Brady. In the recent pics, which can be seen here, the model wore a burnt orange bikini top with a beige wrap skirt and flip-flops, while Valente went similarly casual in a T-shirt with green shorts.
