Here’s The Real Reason Gisele Bündchen Split From Leonardo DiCaprio

Gisele Bündchen, who is usually private about her past relationships, opened up about her time with Leonardo DiCaprio in a new interview with PORTER, explaining that she made the difficult decision to split from the movie star after she realized she needed to change her lifestyle.

“No longer numbing myself with smoking, drinking and too much work, I was becoming more and more aware of things that I’d chosen not to look at,” she shared. “Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same? In the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes.”

Gisele and Leo dated for five years. That’s a long time! She was even his date to the 2005 Oscars where he was nominated for The Aviator, the only time he’s brought a girlfriend as his date to the ceremony.

Now the Brazilian model is married to NFL star Tom Brady. They welcomed son Benjamin, 9, in 2009 and daughter Vivian Lake, 6, in 2010. They also co-parent Tom’s 11-year-old son Jack from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.

Clearly, she made the right choice!
