DiCaprio denies engagement rumours

Leonardo DiCaprio has played down fresh reports he is engaged to supermodel Bar Refaeli - insisting he is too focused on his Hollywood career to settle down.

The on/off couple has been dogged by marriage rumours since it started dating in 2005. The stars split briefly last year but reunited months later.

On Monday, German newspaper Bild sparked fresh speculation the pair was set to exchange vows after publishing photos of Refaeli wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

DiCaprio's close pals shot down the rumours, calling the claims "not true", and the Titanic star admits he isn't looking to marry until his acting career dries up.

He says, "The truth is I'm very lucky to be in the position I'm in and I don't want to look back at this time and say I didn't take advantage of that. And if other stuff (a family) happens to come along in a natural progression, so be it."
