Bar Rafaeli has revealed that she is not ready to marry yet.

The Israeli model, who is currently dating Leonardo DiCaprio, explained that she doesn't feel old enough to settle down.

"I'm not thinking about getting married," she told L'Isha magazine. "I'm still young, not yet 25."

Rafaeli also admitted that she is glad the couple split up for six months as it helped her to mature.

"It was a half year for which I am very grateful," she explained. "I needed it. I came to understand a lot of things about myself. I worked on myself [and] I grew up. I didn't know what 'alone' was like. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Today I'm not afraid of being alone."

Rafaeli added that she does not want her relationship with DiCaprio to become too public.

"I am there for him and I am at all the events," she said. "I just don't walk in hand-in-hand with him. I don't see any reason. I don't need to strike poses with him in front of the cameras."

DiCaprio recently admitted that he is beginning to think about starting a family.
