Some love stories are stranger than fiction, say, writers. Wife of NFL GOAT Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, a prominent Brazilian fashion model, encountered one such experience in the past. The supermodel shared a moving story of love with Hollywood superstar Leonardo Di Caprio from 1999 to 2005. Incidentally, the six-year relationship brought the model into the limelight. However, it came to a close in 2005 when the supermodel decided it was time. The reason? Because of her feelings of loneliness.
Incidentally, the Brazilian was in her teen years at the start of dating. She was 19 years old, living her teen life and Leo was 25, a time when he was earning a name in Hollywood as an established actor.

“I was alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same. Everyone who crosses our path is a teacher. They come into our lives to show us something about ourselves, and I think that’s what he was,” writes the supermodel. It is clear that Bündchen was not in a good mental space, and thus the relationship gradually decayed.
Enters Tom Brady
The NFL GOAT and supermodel initially met on a blind date. Reacting to the first encounter, both stars admit it was love at first sight for them. Incidentally, the Brazilian supermodel spoke to host Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show, in 2018 about the first meet-up. “You know, when I saw those kind eyes, I literally fell in love, like, right away. I was like, ‘What?’ He was just so — you know how sweet he is,” said Gisele.
