| Leo and Gisele both Deny the Marriage Rumors |
October 15-17, 2000 Good news for heartbroken Leonardo DiCaprio fans. A spokesman for the teen heartthrob denies British reports that the "Titanic" star got engaged to longtime girlfriend, Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen. "The star got down on one knee with a 125,000 [pound, about $182,000] platinum and diamond ring to pop the question to Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen," according to one report, in London's Sunday Mail. "Leo told pals that he wanted to make the occasion special. He filled her hotel suite with flowers and ordered a 300 [pound, about $438] bottle of champagne." "Not true," says DiCaprio's spokesman. "Leo's not engaged." Gisele and Leo have certainly been enjoying each other's company. DiCaprio is in Italy, filming "Gangs of New York," and has been out partying into the wee hours and showing up late so often that Martin Scorsese reportedly chewed him out in front of the cast and crew. Mrshowbiz: Leo and Gisele Stir Wedding Rumors October 17, 2000 Spies are watching Leo DiCaprio's every move in Rome, where the actor has been filming Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. These so-called insiders have reportedly spotted him eating too much, partying too much, and spending too much. But the latest buzz on Leo is that his relationship with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has taken a turn down the grown-up path. London's Daily Mail claims that Leo recently got down on one knee with a pricey platinum and diamond engagement ring, while others told the New York Daily News that they've seen Gisele slipping her long, tall bod into designer wedding gowns. No way, says Leo's rep, who is unambiguously denying any engagement brouhaha. What about the Daily News' tidbit involving DiCaprio supposedly asking the American consulate in Rome about wedding documents, as well as a rumor that both Gisele and Leo's families have been invited to visit Italy in November? Still no dice. Whether 25-year-old Leo is taking the plunge or not, just remember: Mr. Titanic and Ms. Supermodel have been known to fib via their publicists — the two spent months adamantly denying the fact that they were even dating. |
