Born 4th June, 1985 in Hod HaSharon at Israel, Bar Refaeli was the daughter of a model, Tzipi Levine, &followed in her footsteps whilst still an infant. So popular did Refaeli become in her home country that she attracted international attention, which helped her, become the 1st Israeli supermodel to conquer the USA. Inundated with offers, she drew considerable attention for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition layouts, including landing the cover of the 2009 installment. In a controversial but profile-boosting campaign, one of Bar Refaeli's steamy shots from the pictorial was painted on the side of a Southwest plane. Although enormously proud of her heritage, Bar Refaeli sometimes found it difficult to juggle the cultural expectations placed on her with the sexier side of her modeling jobs. One such stumbling block that she faced was the fact that she had managed to dodge enlistment in the Israel Defense Forces, which was mandatory for both men and women. 
To smooth things over with government officials, Bar Refaeli agreed to help promote Israel's military, but her decision stuck in the craw of many of her detractors. Similarly, she faced considerable homeland pressure to only date Jewish men, &her romantic life was constantly scrutinized in ways her peers' were not. An occasional actress as well, Refaeli landed a role on the Israeli television series "Pick Up", but made more frequent appearances on talk &variety shows, preferring to keep a lower profile. That was made considerably more difficult when the model who had previously dated actor David Charvet, began a relationship with arguably the world's biggest movie star at the time, Leonardo DiCaprio, who was rebound from a breakup with another international supermodel, Gisele. The new couple was spotted in Israel as well as in the USA, and their relative quiet on their relationship only helped fan the flames of interest from gossip and media outlets.
A low key but popular talk show guest, Bar Refaeli was chosen to host the rebooted "House of Style", for its lone episode.Impressively, she managed to retain her mystique even after she & DiCaprio split in 2009, with the 2 playing it so close to the vest that it was rumored that they had reconciled the next year, only to part ways again in 2011. Regardless of the status of their relationship, she remained enormously popular as a glamorous global figure. She took a rare starring role in the psychological thriller "Session" but chose to focus more on her modeling work and perhaps inspired by the famously green DiCaprio, on charitable causes, including animal & environmental welfare organizations. That same year, Bar Refaeli also launched "Under.me," her own line of fashionable, comfortable undergarments.
Firstly, Bar Refaeli dated Baywatch "star" David Charvet for a small amount of time until she realized how hot she was. Then she first met actor Leonardo DiCaprio at a party thrown by the rock band U2 in Las Vegas. They immediately began dating with DiCaprio even traveling to her hometown in Israel. She later opened up on why the romance was rarely publicized, saying, "I do not need to strike poses with him in front of the cameras" and then to get her mind off of DiCaprio, Bar Refaeli rebounded with the founder of Platech &one of Israel's top thirty wealthiest men, Teddy Sagi, who is 10 years her senior. Further separating herself from DiCaprio, she hooked up with Gossip Girl cutie Chace Crawford for less than a year before searching for her next cute-but-not-so-cute-compared-to-Leo conquest. Turns out Bar Refaeli’s next conquest were DiCaprio himself. She later addressed their momentary split, saying, "It was a 1/2year for which I’m very grateful." Rumors that Bar Refaeli was dating Israeli property tycoon David Fisher began circulating when they attended the Italian wedding of Daniel Ofer together & later spotted getting touchy feely in St. Tropez.
