I heard that in Caras Magazine Gisele's rep Monica confirmed the split. Is that true?
I don't know if it's permanent this time or not. But I've never really seen them as a great couple. It has nothing to do with looks. They just seem like they're on different wavelengths. Leo is very serious about his career and very active politically. Gisele has said she plans to quit modeling when she turns 26 and haas given no indication of what she wants to do with the rest of her life other than have kids. Leo said on Oprah that he'd like to settle down and have a family one day, but right now his focus is his career and he's having too mach fun to think about anthing else. It sounds to me like they're in different places in their lives, and they have very different priorities.
But I agree that being "hot" is never a good reason to marry someone- looks change, people age, and after a while the novelty of having a physically attractive partner wears thin. There has to be something else there, keeping you togother.
