In her book “Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life” she wrote about everything and revealed the reason why she had to end things with DiCaprio. “No longer numbing myself with smoking, drinking, and too much work, I was becoming more and more aware of things that I’d chosen not to look at,” Bündchen continues, “Was I alone in wanting to do some serious soul-searching while he stayed the same? In the end, unfortunately, the answer was yes.”
