Gisele Bündchen Debuts Simple Gold Wedding Band at Miami Event

A thin gold band on Gisele Bündchen's left ring finger drew more attention than the shimmering silver gown around it. At Garnier's Fructis Diamond Sleek launch in Miami on March 12, the 45-year-old supermodel stepped out three months after exchanging vows with Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, and the simple gold wedding band caught every photographer's lens.

The ring itself is unadorned minimalism: a plain gold band, no stones, no pavé, no engraving visible in photographs. Against a silver spaghetti-strap dress that fell just above her ankles and strappy metallic heels, it registered as a deliberate choice rather than an oversight. Sparkling bangles stacked alongside it, and her hair was pulled into a polished high ponytail. The two outlets present at the event differed on one accessory detail: E! News described large hoop earrings, while Us Weekly reported delicate drop earrings, a discrepancy worth noting given the rest of the styling accounts align closely. Bündchen posed at the event alongside fellow models Vita Sidorkina and Niki Victoria.

The Miami appearance was not the band's first public outing. Bündchen first debuted the ring at a red-carpet event in São Paulo, Brazil in December, weeks after she and Valente officially wed on December 3, 2025, according to marriage records viewed by E! News. Us Weekly, which obtained the marriage certificate separately, reported that the couple secured their license in Miami on December 1 and exchanged vows two days later.

Before the Miami red carpet, TMZ published images of Bündchen wearing the band during a casual bike ride in Miami, bare-faced in gray leggings and a matching crewneck sweater, with a white baseball cap and the couple's young son strapped into a front baby seat wearing a helmet. TMZ identified the child as River. E! News reported the baby was born in January 2025, while Us Weekly placed the birth in February 2025; both sources describe him as Bündchen and Valente's first child together. The couple began dating in June 2023, following Bündchen's divorce from retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady, with whom she shares son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13.

On Instagram in late January, Bündchen reflected on her son's first year: "I can't believe it's already been over a year since you came to bless our lives. Thank you, God, for so much." In a year-end post the previous December, she wrote: "Becoming a mother again reshaped everything — my time, my priorities, my heart. I'm grateful for these sacred moments that changed me in ways words can't fully hold."

The band's design speaks to something increasingly visible among high-profile brides: a move away from the statement solitaire toward jewelry that carries meaning through restraint. A gold band worn with bangles and heels at a brand launch is a styling statement in itself — the ring does the work precisely because it asks so little of the eye.
