While she may have hung up her catwalk shoes, Gisele Bundchen's life off the runway is even more interesting.

NEWS: Gisele Bundchen Says Goodbye to the Runway in Final Fashion Show

Gisele has been happily married to four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady since 2009, but prior to meeting Tom on a blind date in 2007, she had a five-year romance with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"He's my friend, a very good friend of mine," Gisele said in 2000 of her relationship with Leo. "I met him a few months ago with one of my best friends in NY and he was just a very nice guy."

Eventually, engagement rumors popped up concerning Leo and Gisele, but the model quickly nipped them in the bud.

"I'm not getting married," Gisele said in 2000. "I'm 20 years old. I'm not getting married for a long time."

"Shortly after Leo and Gisele parted ways," Wonderwall.com's Jessica Wedemeyer said. "He really just became a serial modelizer, and since then he's gone on to date some of the biggest names in the fashion industry."

Gisele, reportedly estimated to be worth $386 million, comes from a family of five girls and once invited ET to a photo shoot with her mom. When Gisele became a mother herself in 2009, she only gained 30 pounds, which became a topic of discussion. Backlash ensued after she made a comment saying, "I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals."

She eventually ran a clinic on rebranding.

"She does a lot of charity work you know she is obviously a heavily invested parent, you see her with her kids and she seems like a wonderful mother role model and business woman," Lucky magazine's editor-in-chief Eva Chen said. "I think that's what women are looking for these days, role models that encompass all three things."
