Every black cloud has a silver lining. This is what Supermodel Bar Refaeli, believes. While others brood over their break ups and avoid talking about it, Refaeli says that the six-month break from boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio made their relationship stronger.

The model said that she is now grateful that the break happened, as it gave her the opportunity to understand a lot of things about herself.

“I worked on myself – I grew up. I got my girlfriends back. From a very young age I have always had a boyfriend and I didn"t know what it was like to be inside my own skin. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Now I"m not afraid of being alone."

In her interview, Refaeli revealed that they have no plans to get married yet. She also expressed that she would never make her private life public.

When I do get engaged I might even hide the ring. I want it to remain private," said Refaeli.
