Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman styled his signature hoodie with a chic tuxedo design as he enjoyed a date night with his wife after denying the pair split.
The 54-year-old Democratic representative shared in a post
While Gisele looked stunning in a sparkly black sequined mesh dress, Fettermen took a more casual approach to the dress code by wearing a tuxedo print hoodie which he paired with black shorts.
Gisele, who previously claimed she was taking a “break from social media,” responded to her husband's post with the same image, enlarged to crop out her husband – which she jokingly captioned, “Better now.”
The Brazilian activist explained that she ended her social media purge because she was “bored” and because she was a “fish.”

John Fetterman is eager to prove that his marriage is solid as he vehemently denies rumors that he and his Brazilian wife have split (John and Gisele Fetterman are pictured here on their wedding day in 2008).
Rumors circulated this week that Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) and his wife Gisele Barreto Fetterman have separated after she deleted her social media over arguments over her husband's support for Israel
Reports emerged on Tuesday that the couple may be devastated after she deleted all social media following mounting backlash against her husband for supporting Israel in the war against Hamas.
“She’s upstairs in my office right now.” And that’s absurd. “I'm not even sure why we should even bring this up,” Fetterman told on Wednesday.
“I don’t even understand why there are rumors because my wife is obviously tired of the online abuse from the same weirdos that show up at my house on Friday nights,” the senator continued.
On Friday evening, pro-Palestinian activists protested outside Fetterman's home.
“How this can now lead to there being a problem with our marriage is outrageous,” he added. Like I said, she’s here in town right now and everything is wonderful.”
The rumors were “very strange,” he added.
However, Gisele reactivated her X account on Wednesday to dispel the speculation. She claimed she was just “taking a break from social media” and called those who posted about her marriage “horrible.”
Senator John Fetterman called the rumors about his marriage 'outrageous'
The speculation had gained traction after an online journalist, Misha Schizarella, who claimed to be associated with The New York Times, posted on social media that Gisele had deleted all her pictures with her husband, saying: ” She is reportedly currently single.”'
However, The Times later confirmed to that a journalist by that name is not affiliated with the company.
However, after Senator Fetterman's wife pushed back against the reports, X added a community note to Schizarella's post indicating that the couple's pictures were still there after Gisele's account was reactivated.
“Community Notes is wrong as always,” Schizarella responded, claiming that Gisele's account was inactive at the time of her post and that it was only reactivated nine hours after the breakup news broke.
“All the pictures on her Instagram with John Fetterman are still deleted,” Schizarella added.
Schizarella also noted that her husband liked several pictures of Israeli actress Gal Gadot on Tuesday evening, before Gisele's return to X.
The Fetterman couple have been married since 2008 and have three children.
But after Senator Fetterman expressed his passionate support for Israel, reports of tensions emerged, also sparking widespread criticism from progressive wings of the Democratic Party.

Sen. Fetterman's support for Israel has put him in opposition to many within the Democratic Party and his supporters who do not share his views
Protesters stormed Fetterman's home in Braddock, just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, chanting: “Fetterman, Fetterman, you can't hide.” “They support genocide.”
The first-term senator responded by trolling the pro-Palestinian protesters with a large Israeli flag unfurled from his roof as they continued chanting below.
Some on social media say Gisele was also targeted because of her husband's support for the Jewish state after it was attacked by Hamas terrorists from Gaza.
