The rivalry between Tom Brady's and Jazelle Bunin's camps has ignited, grabbing headlines as they seemingly clash over the model's newfound romance with her Jo Jitsu trainer.
Recent reports from Page 6 shed light on Bunin's blossoming relationship with Waim Valente, her Jo Jitsu instructor, painting a picture of deep affection. However, insiders quickly moved to downplay the significance, emphasizing that they've been discreetly dating since June, opting for a gradual approach to their budding romance. Their bond reportedly evolved from a strong friendship, with Bunin preferring to keep their connection under wraps as they explored their compatibility.
Yet, Brady's circle contested the timeline presented by sources, suggesting discrepancies in the narrative. Allegations arose, challenging the accuracy of the dating timeframe, prompting additional scrutiny. Following Brady and Bunin's divorce in October 2022, suspicions lingered, despite assurances from Bunin's side that there was no infidelity involved.
Valente's frequent presence alongside Bunin on trips to Costa Rica and Brazil, dating back to November 2022, initially raised eyebrows. However, insiders maintain that his involvement was purely professional, focused on providing intensive Jo Jitsu training to Bunin and her family.
During this period, Bunin split her time between Tampa, Florida, and Costa Rica, awaiting the completion of her Miami residence. The martial arts studio's location in Miami facilitated Valente's collaboration, as he and his brother delivered training sessions to Bunin and her family.
Sources emphasize the platonic nature of their interactions during this period, portraying Valente as a genuine friend to Bunin. However, their dynamic shifted in July 2023, evolving into a romantic relationship, as confirmed by a source close to Bunin.
The news of Bunin and Valente's romantic involvement, capturing a moment between them on Valentine's Day in their Miami neighborhood. Bunin had previously addressed speculations about her relationship with Valente in a Vanity Fair cover story, emphasizing their professional rapport and mutual admiration. Despite facing public scrutiny due to her divorce, Bunin expressed gratitude for the Valente brothers' support and friendship, highlighting their positive influence on her and her children's lives.
Meanwhile, Brady's romantic life has drawn occasional attention, with sightings of him alongside Irina Shayk and his friend Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite this, he remains unattached in any serious relationship. Brady and Bunin share two children from their previous marriage, alongside Brady's child with ex-partner Bridget Moynahan.
