It’s a headline that almost seems silly: Bar Refaeli, one of the most famous and beautiful models in the world, is lonely and can’t find a boyfriend after Leonardo DiCaprio dumped her. But that’s exactly what one headline suggested and Rafaeli was quick to shoot that down.
On Thursday, The New York Daily News ran a story claiming that Rafaeli doesn’t enjoy being single. “I don't understand it,” she told Israeli paper Yedioth Ahronoth, according to the Daily News. “I’m okay...I look great. I’m cool. I like going out. I like being at home, I like movies, I like eating. So what’s wrong with me? Why am I alone?”
However, according to Us Weekly, Rafaeli can’t recall ever saying anything like that. She sent out two tweets today calling the report completely false.
“Just woke up to DailyNews saying I'm looking for a strong FAMOUS guy- what?!?! Where did u get that?? Completely false,” she wrote.
In another tweet, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model added, “LOL now I won't be stopped getting asked out by u guys ha?:) i'm single, happy and loving it!”

Rafaeli and DiCaprio began dating in 2006, split in 2009 and reunited six months later before splitting for good in 2011. The Daily News claims that in the interview, she said she “choked up” and “started crying uncontrollably” after seeing Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively get married. She didn’t get over it until she went to Cannes with a friend.
