Bündchen, who was first linked to Valente in November 2022 after her divorce from Tom Bradyhowever revealed to Roberts: “In the future, she intends to keep her personal life private to protect her family.”
That family includes daughter Vivian, 11, and son Benjamin, 14, whom she shares with the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

“I think sometimes in life things happen. I feel so lucky because I wouldn’t change anything in my life,” she said.
“I've learned so much, I have my children, who are the greatest blessing of my life, and now I get to create – it's a new season, it's a new chapter in my life and I'm learning from new things, and I get to travel my path in a different way.
Although Bündchen remains focused on her family, she is open to love again.
“I think right now, really, my priority is my kids and creating this beautiful sanctuary for the family and then, yeah, why not, right?” she told Roberts.
A source told People last month, Bündchen and Valente “have been dating since June.”
“They’re taking it slowly. They started out as great friends. She is very private about it and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other,” the source said.
Since the divorce, Brady was linked to Russian model Irina Shayk.
