He has a lovely smile. And he’s awfully sweet. So there’s absolutely no need to ask Bar Refaeli just what attracted her to the multi-millionaire Teddy Sagi.
The 24-year-old model is said to have fallen for the gambling company founder after breaking up with Leonardo Di Caprio.
And although her new romeo may not look as polished as her Hollywood hearthrob ex, there are compensations. Sagi, 34, is among Israel’s top 30 richest men, according to Forbes magazine.
The couple were spotted together earlier this week, canoodling at a Britney Spears concert in Berlin.
The chunkily-built entrepreneur, who founded his firm Playtech in 1999, is a decade older than his glamorous new girlfriend. But then so was Di Caprio, so she is obviously used to the more mature man.
In March Sagi floated Playtech, which makes software for internet gambling sites, on the London Stock Exchange.
He sold 25 per cent of the company for $250million in cash. He still owns 40 per cent of the firm, which boasts a market capitalisation of ?400million.
Miss Refaeli, however, has her own financial interests. She has been working most of her life, appearing in her first commercial at only a few months old.
By 15, she was featuring in campaigns for the fashion brands Castro and Pilpel.
She was also chosen to be the face of the Renuar fashion label and appeared in its summer 2002 and winter 2003 catalogues.
n 2007 she came to world-wide attention in the the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, becoming the first Israeli model to appear in the iconic U.S. magazine.
She started a romance with DiCaprio in late 2005. But last month the actor is said to have ended their relationship.
A source told celebrity website People.com that the model’s desire to get serious may have left Di Caprio doubting their relationship.
‘She wanted to move faster than he did, she wanted to move in together, so he broke it off,’ the source said.
Di Caprio is currently in London filming his latest movie Inception and appears to be enjoying his new-found single status.
He’s been spotted in a number of celebrity hangouts, flanked by female admirers.
And earlier this week he partied with blonde Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 27, until 2am at the exclusive Whisky Mist nightclub in Mayfair.
