She may be engaged to heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio, but curvaceous 20-year-old model Gisele Bundchen is not short of male company when she jets back home to her native Brazil. The leggy beauty has been seen out and about with Rodrigo Santoro, one of that country’s most popular screen stars, and according to some reports, her fiancé is none too pleased about his bride-to-be’s gallivanting.

Gisele and Rodrigo met when the supermodel returned to Rio de Janeiro for the world famous carnival in February. “Ever since that first meeting, whenever she’s in Brazil, she’s seen with Rodrigo,” said one source, adding: “There’s obviously chemistry between them.” Although the official word remains that the two are just “friends”, Gisele has apparently been spotted leaving Rodrigo’s hotel room early one morning.

Both Gisele and Leo’s spokesmen have declined to comment.

Back in LA, the Brazilian bombshell and her Titanic star lover – who became engaged at the start of the year – are being seen out and about together as usual. In a recent shopping trip they were united by an unusual cut-rate fashion accessory – both were sporting Sellotape wrapped around their ponytails as hair bands.
