What is it about Leonardo DiCaprio that's so hot? The actor who recently created media frenzy in Israel reportedly is engaged and about to marry model girlfriend Bar Refaeli.

The couple is said to get engaged at the beginning of the month when they visited Bar's home country of Israel, which actually was meant to introduce him to her parents and stage a secret engagement party as well.

Rumor has it that Bar and Leo hosted an intimate party on March 11th to announce their engagement "for just a small group of close friends and family." The party was said to be a birthday celebration for Bar's brother in order to keep the engagement secret.

"Bar said that Leo had asked her to marry him and that she had said yes. They'll probably have a private ceremony in Israel, then a big ring ceremony and party in the US toward the end of the year," an insider revealed on the wedding speculation.

If only the rumors are to be believed, the wedding would be Bar's second. She previously married to longtime friend Arik Weinstein in October 2003 but then split in 2005. She began dating Leo soon following his split from longtime girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.
