With Sunday being Valentine’s Day, it would have been the perfect opportunity to get down on bended knee.

So the question is, has Leonardo DiCaprio proposed to his on-off girlfriend Bar Refaeli?

If the shiny gold ring on her engagement finger is anything to go by, it could the case.

The Israeli model, 24, was spotted with the sparkler as she dined with Leo and his mother at the charity gala dinner at the Berlin International Film Festival today.

Last month the pair were pictured together at a basketball match, setting tongues wagging that they had rekindled their tempestuous relationship.

They split in June 2009, reportedly because 35-year-old Leo was not ready to settle down and move in with her.

But now it appears the actor could be ready to bite the bullet.

German newspaper Bild reported that the Hollywood star proposed to Bar in the Hotel de Rome on Valentine’s Day.

Later that day, the pair shared a romantic evening meal at the city’s Grill Royal restaurant.

On Monday, Leo’s German mother Irmelin, 65, joined her son and Bar at the Cinema for Peace Gala 2010 charity dinner. The event is held every year as part of the film festival, also known as the Berlinale.

DiCaprio dressed for the occasion in a smart tuxedo dinner suit while Bar wore an eggshell silk number.

Bild newspaper also quoted a source saying the actor’s mother had been urging him to make an honest woman of Bar.

The insider told the publication: ‘She previously urged him to marry Gisele Bündchen without success. Now she said to him, “Don’t make the same mistake a second time!”‘

A source says the star recently took the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model to Baker’s Bay, a private resort in the Bahamas. “They stayed in their own villa,” our spy says. “They were shacked up together all weekend.”

Rafaeli and DiCaprio split in June after three years, reportedly because of his fear of commitment. Since then, DiCaprio, who will next star in Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island,” has been linked to a bevy of models, while Rafaeli has been spotted partying with Israeli gambling tycoon Teddy Sagi and Brazilian playboy Ricardo Mansur. Rafaeli was not at DiCaprio’s 35th birthday this month with Kate Hudson, Ryan Phillippe and Hayden Panettiere in West Hollywood.

But, according to our source, Rafaeli was devastated after Lindsay Lohan was photographed leaving DiCaprio’s home at 4:30 a.m. DiCaprio’s rep declined to comment and Rafaeli’s rep didn’t get back to us.
