The supermodel was sporting matching olive running shorts and sports bra, while Valente donned a light blue T-shirt and black running shorts.
Bündchen and her two children — sonBenjamin Rein, 12, and daughterVivian Lake, 9 —visited Provincia de Puntarenas, a province located on Costa Rica’s coast, alongside Valente, the family’s instructor, two weeks after herdivorcefrom NFL legendTom Bradywas finalized.
