Gisele Bundchen shares cryptic post after stepping out with Joaquim Valente amid Tom Brady divorce

Gisele Bündchen used a cryptic quote as a caption for a stunning selfie of herself in a grassy field on Wednesday morning.
After continuing to fuel dating rumors with hunky jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente since her divorce was finalized from Tom Brady in October, the model, 42, seemed to allude to headlines about her new romance under her latest Instagram.
‘Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth,’ she stated.
Just 24 hours earlier, the mother-of-two was spotted walking her dogs in Costa Rica with Valente, during yet another trip to the country together.
The pair were previously seen riding horses together through the jungle, which led many to believe they are dating, despite the Vogue cover girl denying the claims.

Sources previously said that she ‘adores’ the jiu-jitsu instructor, but ‘does not have a traditional dating scenario with him.’
Valente, based since 2007 in Miami, is originally from Rio de Janeiro, 1,000 miles north east of Bundchen’s hometown of Horizontina, and runs the Valente Brothers academy with his older brother Pedro and Gui.
An insider spilled that Gisele and Joaquim ‘have a deep personal relationship, and he is a teacher to her and the kids. Whether or not it will ever become more than that rests on the table.’
Another source declared Gisele was ‘happy and doing really well’ but was ‘focused on her kids, her health and work.’
The pair were first spotted in the country in December alongside her son Benjamin, 13, and daughter daughter Vivian, 10, which quickly sparked romance rumours between the pair.
However, a source close to Gisele furiously denied that they’re in a relationship, insisting that the date was anything but romantic – and noting that Joaquim is nothing more than a close family friend.
‘He’s been her kids’ jiu-jitsu teacher for years,’ the insider revealed. ‘There’s no truth to the rumors that they’re dating.’

Gisele and Joaquim appear to go way back, and they even participated in a photoshoot for Dust Magazine together alongside Joaquim’s brothers, Pedro and Giu Valente, last year.
She filed for divorce from Brady because she felt he ‘wasn’t as attentive as he should’ve been.’
‘That’s what [Gisele] wanted: to be heard. And he wasn’t hearing her,’ the insider noted to the site.
As Bundchen, a native of Brazil, raised their two children — the athlete was ‘busy following his passion.’

Brady also shares 15-year-old son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan.
Someone familiar with the quarterback dished: ‘When he’s in the middle of a season, [Brady] does what most NFL players do: live, breathe, eat and sleep football,’ adding: ‘Tom is more like that than anyone.’
Another source countered: ‘He was always there for her and the kids. Even during football.
‘He’s an anomaly because he’s played for so long. Yes, he worked just like any parent worked, but he always spends a great deal of time with his family.’
Last year, Brady explained in a statement over Instagram that he and his wife had coem to a ‘difficult’ and ‘painful’ decision to end their marriage after 13 years.
Meanwhile, she told her followers: ‘The decision to end a marriage is never easy, but we have grown apart.’
‘My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. ‘We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care, and attention they greatly deserve,’ she concluded.
