There's an ol' sayin' "abstinence makes the heart grow fonder" -- and that just might be the case for Bar Refaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio who went on a six month hiatus.
As the SI Swimsuit model told L'Isha magazine via People,
"It was a half year for which I am very grateful," the Israeli supermodel, 24, tells her country's top-selling L'Isha magazine. "I needed it. I came to understand a lot of things about myself. "
"I worked on myself [and] I grew up," Refaeli says. "I didn't know what 'alone' was like. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Today I’m not afraid of being alone."
As for marriage with the actor?
"I'm not thinking about getting married," she says, laughing off rumors that she was wearing an engagement ring in Berlin over Valentine's Day.
"I'm still young, not yet 25."
"I am there for him and I am at all the events," she says. "I just don't walk in hand-in-hand with him. I don't see any reason. I don't need to strike poses with him in front of the cameras."
That's why they kept their heads down at a recent Orlando Magic-Los Angeles Lakers game. Says Refaeli: "No one needs to know how we kiss."
Dam and as they say, "a kiss is worth a thousand words..." We guess Bar never kiss and tells, and in Hollywood, that's a good thing.
