Before getting involved with an NFL quarterback, Gisele Bündchen had a serious relationship with the Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio. Their bond was the talk of the town in the early 2000s, which the Supermodel didn’t like at all. The exposure she attracted from the media couldn’t help but worsen her mental stability.

While speaking in an interview, Bündchen shared various aspects of her relationship with DiCaprio and the reason why they split after five years of intense love. She revealed that her career had an exponential surge after getting involved with the actor.

Not to mention, it has everything to do with DiCaprio’s popularity in the film industry. However, that was something Bündchen couldn’t handle on her own, and the exposure she received alongside an imbalanced work life made her think twice about their relationship.

“It brought a lot more attention to me, which is something I didn’t feel very comfortable with,” Bündchen said. It was the time when the Supermodel was getting panic attacks because of her unhealthy lifestyle.

“I was starting my day with a mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream and three cigarettes, then drinking a bottle of wine every night. Imagine what that was doing to my mind…” the model revealed in one of the interviews. She was just 22, a highly energetic model, but from within, it was not a lifestyle that she wanted.

Even before she met the former Patriots quarterback, Gisele Bündchen was one of the high-profile artists in the modeling industry. She was at the peak of her career and precisely was earning more than Tom Brady, but all she wanted was a supporting partner.

“Brady is someone you can count on. It’s a quality I hadn’t experienced in any of my other romantic relationships. I love my husband – and most of all, I trust him. With Tom, who provides our family with a stable foundation, I’m able to create a home.” She wrote in her book, ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life.

It was also the time Bündchen made a transition in her life. Instead of consuming drugs to cure her panic attacks, she adapted to a healthy lifestyle. And that’s when she started to emphasize practicing yoga and meditation as a part of her routine.
