00:28 first sparked rumors when they were spotted out together

00:30 in November of 2022.

00:33 At the time, a source confirmed to ET

00:35 that the pair was not dating.

00:37 - No, people love to talk about it.

00:38 I think it's funny, you know?

00:40 It's like every day, if I go out with a guy for dinner,

00:42 he's like my new boyfriend.

00:43 And basically I have like one boyfriend every week

00:45 and I don't need, they're not even my boyfriends,

00:47 they're just my friends.

00:48 - But fast forward to Wednesday

00:50 and it appears these lovebirds have been stoking the flames

00:53 of a long slow burn.

00:55 An insider telling ET, Giselle and Joaquim

00:58 started as friends, but things have progressed between them

01:02 and they have been seeing each other.

01:04 Giselle trusts Joaquim because they had a solid foundation

01:07 before their relationship became romantic.

01:10 - I thought it was gonna be something like interesting

01:12 to see.

01:13 - The source continues, he's been there for her

01:15 as she navigates her life post-divorce from Tom Brady.

01:19 And they connect on a deep level

01:21 and have a lot of fun together.

01:24 (speaking in foreign language)

01:27 Giselle opened up about her friendship with Joaquim

01:31 in an interview with Vanity Fair last year.

01:33 - We talked about various people

01:35 who she says she's not dating.

01:36 And one of them is her jujitsu instructor,

01:40 one of her jujitsu instructors, Joaquim Valente.

01:43 But she does speak really, really highly of Joaquim

01:46 as a force, a force of good in her life

01:48 and her children's life.

01:50 They've all really embraced jujitsu as a source of strength.

01:54 And Joaquim and his brothers do travel with the family

01:58 in four or five day stints, teaching them.

02:00 And she says they've been nothing but a positive influence

02:03 in their life and she's really grateful for them.

02:05 - The supermodel's been on the market

02:06 since splitting with her ex, Tom, in October, 2022.

02:10 - Sometimes you grow together, sometimes you grow apart.

02:13 I mean, he's the father of my kids, you know?

02:14 So I always wish him the best.

02:16 And I mean, I'm so grateful that he gave me

02:23 wonderful children.

02:24 And I think, you know, when a door shuts, other doors open.

02:29 - Tom's been back on the field, the dating field too,

02:32 including a fling with Irina Shayk.

02:35 But as of this month, he says romance

02:37 isn't exactly top of mind.

02:39 - How does it feel to be the world's

02:41 most eligible bachelor right now?

02:43 - I don't know about that, first of all.

02:45 And you know what, I have your dad working me

02:47 so hard all the time and all the other businesses I have,

02:50 how am I supposed to get out and do anything?

02:51 So I have my kids and I got some work stuff,

02:54 so I'm doing great.
