MODEL Bar Refaeli is back together with former boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio - and she has revealed that it's thanks to her growing up. The 24-year-old Israeli model, who succeeded Gisele (who also dated DiCaprio from 2000 to 2005), as the face of Rampage last year, said that six months apart from the 35-year-old actor made her realise what they had.

"I worked on myself - I grew up," she said. "I got my girlfriends back. From a very young age I have always had a boyfriend and I didn't know what it was like to be inside my own skin. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Now I'm not afraid of being alone."

Despite having their relationship back on track, and having pubically confirmed that by attending several red carpet event together to promote DiCaprio's film Shutter Island, Refaeliasserts that she is not planning to marry him any time soon - and even if she did, she wouldn't tell us.

"I am not thinking about getting married," she told Israeli magazine L'isha. "I'm still young. And when I do get engaged I might even hide the ring. I want it to remain private."
