Why Did Gisele Bündchen And Leonardo DiCaprio Break Up?
Gisele Bündchen and Leonardo DiCaprio dated for a span of six years before breaking up. And despite their relationship seeming perfect and almost fairytale-like on the screen, it was not always the same inside. Gisele admitted in her book ‘Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life‘, which came out in 2018 about her struggles with anxiety and depression. She revealed having panic attacks and even suicidal thoughts that kept her on the edge.
The model explained, “I didn’t feel like I could share my panic attacks with anyone. So I’d suppress it, and the more I suppressed it, the bigger it became.” It was only after her strong urge to take her life that she decided to make some healthy changes. “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,” Bundchen said that she had to let go of all the negatives and unhealthy habits. “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 recalled.
