Leonardo DiCaprio, who will turn 52 this year, is known for a long-standing pattern of dating women significantly younger than himself, rarely exceeding the age of 25. However, his current relationship with 27-year-old model Vittoria Ceretti, which began in 2023, may mark a rare departure from this trend. This relationship has raised questions about whether DiCaprio is finally moving beyond his usual “girlfriend age” rule.
The actor recently received his seventh BAFTA nomination for Best Leading Actor at age 51, and for once, he might attend the ceremony with a partner older than 25 by his side, signaling a potential shift in his romantic choices.
Historical Overview of DiCaprio’s Relationships and Age Preferences
Throughout his career, Leonardo DiCaprio has repeatedly been linked to younger women, often ending relationships around their 25th birthday. Past girlfriends include actress and singer Sabrina Carpenter, who notably celebrated her 25th birthday with a cake featuring a meme of DiCaprio’s face saying,
“nooo you’re so sexy don’t turn 25.”
In 2022, DiCaprio ended his relationship with Camila Morrone shortly after she turned 25. Morrone, who had been with DiCaprio since she was 20 and he was 43, addressed the harsh criticism surrounding their breakup by saying on Instagram:
“Good morning people and happy Friday. I just read some of the comments on my Instagram and… my God, people are so mean and full of anger with people that they know nothing about.” – Camila Morrone
She added,
“I guess I just hope on this Friday that people learn to live with a little less hatred and place their time and interests elsewhere because living without hatred feels pretty good.” – Camila Morrone
This public defense highlights the intense scrutiny DiCaprio’s relationships attract, especially from fans who have noted his pattern of dating women below a certain age.
Other Notable Relationships Marked by Age Differences
DiCaprio’s past romantic history includes supermodel Bar Refaeli, whom he dated on and off until 2010, ending their relationship the year she turned 25. Similar timing occurred with Kelly Rohrbach in 2015 and Nina Agdal from 2016 to 2017; both relationships concluded when his partners reached 25.
There was briefly speculation about a change when DiCaprio was linked to Gigi Hadid, a then 27-year-old mother, but reports later suggested he was dating much younger model Eden Polari, who was 19 at the time.
He also had a relationship with Victoria Lamas, who was 23 when linked to DiCaprio. Lamas’s father described her as “smitten” with the actor, underscoring the significant age gap as DiCaprio was then in his late 40s.
Even in DiCaprio’s earlier years, his relationships tended to favor younger women. His public six-year relationship with Gisele Bündchen, which lasted from 1999 through 2005, began when he was 25 and she was a teenager, ending when she turned 23. Bündchen has reflected on their time together in her memoir, saying:
“everyone who crosses our path is a teacher, they come into our lives to show us something about ourselves and I think that’s what he was. What is good versus bad. I honour him for what he was.” – Gisele Bündchen
DiCaprio has acknowledged the difficulty his acting career poses to relationships, telling Esquire:
“Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship. A lot of your life is put on hold when you make movies. Everything, whether personal relationships or friendships, is put on ice when you go on location for five or six months, away from everybody.”
Community Reactions to DiCaprio’s Latest Relationship
Social media users have remarked on DiCaprio’s latest choice in a partner, as his relationship with Vittoria Ceretti challenges his previous norm. On Reddit, some expressed surprise at Ceretti’s age, with comments such as:
“WAIT – SHE’S 26?! Is she the oldest that Leo has dated?”
“He took the criticism and raised his limit to 27.”
“27 is a BIG number. Leo prefers to think of it as 26 years, 11 months and 29 days.”
These reactions emphasize how closely fans watch DiCaprio’s dating habits and appear to measure potential longevity of relationships based on age.
The Significance and Future Outlook of DiCaprio’s Relationship Patterns
Leonardo DiCaprio’s choice to date Vittoria Ceretti, who is slightly older than his usual partners, could indicate a subtle shift in his personal life. This break from his typical preference for partners under 25 raises speculation about whether he may be reconsidering his approach towards relationships as he advances in age and gains more experience.
While it remains uncertain whether this relationship will lead to a more lasting commitment involving marriage or family, observers will likely watch closely for any changes in DiCaprio’s long-established dating patterns. His upcoming presence at the BAFTA Awards with Ceretti may serve as a public indication of his current relationship status and maturity in love.
