Bar Refaeli was born in Israel on June 4, 1985. When she was eight months old, she appeared in various small commercials, and was raised with a love of being photographed and filmed. While getting occasional work in commercials, she grew up on a horse ranch out in the country. When she was fourteen she started working as a fashion model. In the years 2000 and 2001 she won "Model of the year" in local beauty contests. As her career in Israel flourished, building ongoing contracts with fashion companies such as Renuar and Dim, she started making moves into the international photographic fashion shoot industry. Since then she has appeared and continues to appear in magazines such as Maxim, GQ and Sports Illustrated. As of early 2007, the fashion agencies that she currently works for include Ford New York, City Paris, Irene Marie Miami and Riccardo Gay Milan.

Bar Refaeli is the Israeli supermodel who was on the cover of the 2009 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. A dark honey blonde with a practical blue-eyed gaze, Bar Refaeli is a rarity: a global supermodel from the Middle East. She had her first modeling job at age 8 months, according to a 2008 interview in Sports Illustrated, and began posing more seriously at age 15. By age 20 she had gone international, appearing on the covers of magazines like Elle and Cosmopolitan. She began dating actor Leonardo Dicaprio in 2006, when she was 20 and he was 31, and their on-again, off-again romance continued until 2011, when sources said they had broken up. Bar Refaeli also has modeled for Victoria's Secret. Refaeli appeared in the 2007-2010 editions of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, and was chosen for the issue's cover in 2009.
