Tom Brady’s 42-Year-Old Ex-Wife Gisele Bündchen Was Reportedly Jealous of Titanic’s Leading Lady for Her Friendship With Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio, an American actor, is widely recognized and adored in Hollywood. He gained international fame following the immense success of his film Titanic. However, while the movie was a breakthrough for both leading actors, Gisele Bündchen had a different experience.

Despite their breakup over a decade ago, Gisele Bündchen and Leonardo DiCaprio continue to capture headlines. Gisele, now single, and the Academy Award-winning actor have had an on-and-off dating history for years. Their relationship and subsequent split drew significant attention, as they were regarded as a power couple in the industry. Although Gisele eventually found love with Tom Brady and they enjoyed 13 years together before their recent divorce, there was a time when Gisele felt jealous of DiCaprio’s leading lady during their relationship.

Why was Gisele jealous of Kate Winslet?

The on-screen pairing of Leonardo DiCaprio and English actress Kate Winslet in the blockbuster film Titanic made them a beloved couple for many fans, even sparking dreams of them being married in real life. Such was the allure they exuded! However, this undeniable chemistry also gave rise to tensions between Gisele Bündchen and DiCaprio. According to a report, Gisele was upset with DiCaprio for spending excessive time on the phone with Kate. The American actor had met Kate while filming the Oscar-winning epic Titanic in 1997.

At the time, Kate was going through a difficult period, having just ended her three-year marriage to Jim Threapleton in 2001. Leonardo offered her support during this time, but his actions seemed to strain his relationship. Supermodel Gisele suspected that Kate had a secret crush on Leonardo and wanted him to cut ties with his former leading lady. However, after five years together, Leonardo and Gisele separated in 2005, and Gisele later revealed her struggles with panic attacks.

The harsh reality of dating DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio’s on-and-off relationship history, particularly his preference for dating women no more than 27 years old, has presented a significant challenge for those interested in pursuing a relationship with him. Even for Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, dating the superstar proved to be a challenging period. In the early 2000s, they were one of Hollywood’s most prominent A-list couples, dating for nearly five years before parting ways in 2005, which surprised their fans.

Bündchen’s romance with DiCaprio was widely discussed before she married renowned football player & New England Patriots QB Brady. Twenty years later, in 2019, Bündchen candidly discussed her breakup with DiCaprio in an interview with PORTER magazine. She revealed her struggle with panic attacks, initially feeling hesitant to share her experience due to the belief that others faced more significant challenges. She added, “So I’d suppress it, and the more I suppressed it, the bigger it became.” Gisele then continued, “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.”
