DiCaprio: Hunter extraordinaire
by Juliana June Rasul

If the pool of Victoria's Secret models is a hunting ground for all manner of male celebrities, then Leonardo DiCaprio is a hunter extraordinaire.

He has dated not one, not two, but four of them - Gisele Bundchen (2000-2005), Bar Refaeli (2005 to 2011), Erin Heatherton (2011 to 2012) and Toni Garrn (since May 2013).

The US actor, who is now 39, seems to try and get his VS girls when they're about 20 or 21 years old. With the exception of Heatherton, all his ex-es were those ages when he first dated them.

This trend may continue - the star himself has said he's unlikely to settle down any time soon.

"Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship," he told Esquire magazine in May. "I had better success meeting girls before Titanic. My interactions with them didn't have all the stigma behind it, not to mention there wasn't a perception of her talking to me for only one reason."

Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about the competition for VS models any more.

His closest competitor, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, is about to be off the market.

Behati Prinsloo is the third VS girl he has dated - after long-term girlfriend, Russian Anne Vyalitsyna, and Danish Nina Agdal, his fling between breaking up and making up with Prinsloo this year.

Although he has been called a "professional dater of models" by entertainment site Popdust, Levine has always strained against that image.

"I think (the public) have a completely false idea of who I am, and I think that's great. I'd rather them think I'm this playboy sleazeball, or whatever they think I am - a ladies' man..." he said in a 2007 interview.

Nothing like a wedding to keep those rumours at bay - as long as he stays true to his vows, that is.
