Leonardo DiCaprio seems to have broken the long-standing record of only dating women 25 years and younger, as his girlfriend is now 26 years old.
The age gap between the 49-year-old DiCaprio and his romantic partner has long been a topic of public interest and criticism. Many have concluded that he is not dating anyone over the age of 25 by looking at his dating history.
The Oscar-winning actor has reportedly been dating Vittoria Ceretti, an Italian supermodel, since the summer of 2023, when they were photographed stopping for ice cream in LA Weeks later, they were photographed kissing and dancing together at a club in Ibiza. For DiCaprio’s 49th birthday in November of that year, he and Ceretti once again displayed their love at a party with friends in Beverly Hills.
As June 7 is the model’s 26th birthday, only time will tell if the couple will continue their relationship or end it. Newsweek DiCaprio’s spokeswoman was emailed for comment on Friday.
For years, charts depicting the ages of DiCaprio’s previous partners have circulated online. This shows that the Oscar-winning actor’s girlfriend has never been older than 25. For example, he dated Bar Refaeli until 2010, when he was 25, and briefly dated Kelly Rohrbach in 2015, when he turned 25.
DiCaprio dated Gisele Bündchen between 2000 and 2005, with the pair being photographed together on the Oscars red carpet in 2005. This was the same year they ended their relationship, which was also when the supermodel was 25 years old.
In September 2022, DiCaprio and his longtime girlfriend Camila Morrone called it quits after four years together. He was 25 at the time; it’s 47.
Because of these examples, as well as many others, people online have long suspected that DiCaprio ended his relationship before the woman he had been dating for 26 years.
A Newsweek Fact Check in 2022 ruled that, although it seems true that the actor has not dated anyone over the age of 25, there may have been some relationships that were under the radar of the press or the public.
DiCaprio has broken this pattern only once before, when he was said to be dating Gigi Hadid, who is 20 years his junior. The duo first sparked romance rumors in November 2022 and were reportedly together when Hadid turned 28 in April 2023. The couple has been seen together on several occasions, but no one has officially confirmed the relationship.
It’s not just people on the internet who have noticed the style in DiCaprio’s love life; so have celebrity friends.
When DiCaprio split from Morrone in 2022, legendary singer Dionne Warwick weighed in on their love affair. “I just heard about Leonardo DiCaprio’s 25-year rule. Losing him,” he wrote via X (formerly known as Twitter). “You never know what you’re missing.”
Earlier that year, Oscar host Amy Schumer made a joke about the actor’s many boyfriends. “Leonardo DiCaprio did so much for the planet,” said DiCaprio, who is a strong environmental activist. “He will leave in better shape for his girlfriend.”
For her 25th birthday on May 11 this year, “Espresso” singer Sabrina Carpenter surprised her with a cake that mentioned DiCaprio’s dating preferences.
Carpenter uploaded a photo to Instagram of her birthday cake, featuring a photo of DiCaprio’s popular meme. It was made from a selfie of the actor that was modified to look like a Snapchat message, with the caption: “Don’t be sexy until you’re 25 aha.”
