Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen has sailed through different paths and relationships in her life. Even though Tom Brady holds a special place in his heart, she indulged in a serious bond with Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio, a few years ago. However, the association was short-lived because she was unable to adjust to the lifestyle, something that she opened up about in an interview.

The former Victoria’s Secret angel is one of the greatest supermodels of all time. Her craze among the fans was on a whole different level, and she reigned over the modeling industry with her charm. However, things weren’t the same when she dated Caprio in the past. Although she was at the peak of her career, the supermodel struggled to find internal peace.
What went wrong between Gisele Bündchen & Leonardo DiCaprio?
The blond beauty has come a long way to establish her career on the world stage. Not to mention, she has aced everyone else in the modeling industry. Apart from her marvelous career, fans often tend to look at her high-profile dating history. And sometimes they wonder why she left Caprio for another man in Brady, despite the couple looking perfectly fine on the silver screen.
Well, Bündchen has her reasons. She suffered panic attacks in her 20s. The main reason was an unhealthy lifestyle and the unprecedented fame that comes along with being one of the finest stars in Hollywood.
“When I was going through my panic attacks, I didn’t even feel like I could share with anyone,” Bündchen said in an interview, adding that she could no longer numb herself with smoking and drinking. “I was becoming more and more aware of things that I’d chosen not to look at.”
“Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same? In the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes.” She compared Caprio’s lifestyle with hers.
Doctors advised her to take medications; however, the supermodel went after a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet to get past her traumatic cycle. Before parting ways, Bündchen and Caprio dated for five years, from 2000 to 2005.
When Bündchen found her ideal man in Tom Brady
The Brazilian bombshell was in search of peace and solitude after stepping down from a constant spotlight focused on her. That’s when she came across the NFL legend through a common friend. She went on a blind date, and it was a perfect moment. She fell in love at first sight, and Brady, who looked absolutely handsome, decided to begin a new chapter.
“When I met Tom, I was 26 years old, and I wanted a family. I felt so ready,” Bündchen said in the latest edition of Vanity Fair. The duo dated for three years before getting married in 2009. Bündchen shared two kids with Brady. A 13-year-old son, Benjamin, and a 10-year-old daughter, Vivian. Many years have passed, and they continue to foster their children while staying apart and finalizing a divorce in 2022.
