Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Bar Refaeli have broken up -- or have they?

DiCaprio, 36, and model Refaeli, 25, who have dated mostly on but sometimes off since 2006, ‘just grew apart and went their separate ways,’ a source told Page Six on Thursday, describing an amicable breakup late last week.

‘Neither were ready to settle down,’ the source said, ‘and both have busy careers that have been taking them in different directions.’

Refaeli and DiCaprio reportedly went in different directions while attending the Met Gala in New York on May 2, ‘Today’ sources said.

But wait: ‘They do this every two years,’ an Us Weekly source said. ‘They could be back together next week.’

The ‘Inception’ star and Sports Illustrated hottie took six months off in 2009 -- coincidentally the year she was SI’s swimsuit-edition cover girl.
