New couple alert! After rumors of a potential relationship with Gigi Hadid fizzled out, Leonardo DiCaprio has found a new love interest in Italian model Vittoria Ceretti. According to sources, the 49-year-old actor “adores” the 25-year-old beauty.

Ceretti started her modeling career at age 14 and has since gone on to front campaigns and walk runways for brands like Alexander McQueen, Versace, Miu Miu, and more. She’s also a household name in her native Italy, and has an Instagram following that’s 2 million strong. Prior to her fling with DiCaprio, she dated the rapper Tony Effe and (according to several rumors) fellow model Nathan Westling in 2016 and married Italian DJ Matteo Milleri (also known as Anyma) in 2020—though the couple quietly separated without a public announcement.

DiCaprio has been linked to bombshells like Blake Lively, Camila Morrone, Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, among others. Interestingly, Ceretti and Hadid are friends (and once appeared on the cover of American Vogue together), but sources said that things between DiCaprio and the latter model have fizzled out.

Below, a complete timeline of Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti’s relationship.

March 2024

Less than 24 hours after speculation of the couple’s status came into focus, sources close to the couple explained that there is “zero” truth that they are headed for the aisle. According to Page Six, Ceretti has owned the silver bauble for quite some time despite “unusually” displaying it on her ring finger. The revelation follows a lunch date on March 26th in which Ceretti was spotted with a silver jewel.

This news comes hot on the heels of the public revelation that Ceretti’s ex-husband Matteo Milleri has a new beau. The Italian DJ is now dating Grimes, the electronic musician once famously linked to Elon Musk.

November 2023

On November 2nd, it was reported that DiCaprio is “smitten” with Ceretti and the couple are now exclusive. The source continued that, despite the 20 year age gap, DiCaprio is drawn to Ceretti who they called “an old soul.” “He says she’s not only gorgeous, but super down-to-earth, and they have a ton in common,” adding “She’s not intimidated by his fame at all—she even makes fun of it, ‘the model and the movie star. Leo finds it refreshing.”

October 2023

The pair were spotted packing on the PDA at a Halloween bash with insiders saying that is something DiCaprio “doesn’t do that often.” Witnesses told TMZ that the actor “seemed to be digging it.” Whatever that means.

September 2023

On September 6th, the pair were then seen getting cozy during a late night romp in Ibiza, Spain where they shared plenty of PDA on a crowded dance floor.

A day later, sources said that DiCaprio refers to Ceretti as his “girlfriend” and they have reportedly been seeing each other since the Cannes Film Festival in May. “Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time,” an insider told The Daily Mail. “But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, traveling around on romantic trips.”

Insiders added “It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways,” a source said. “There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.”

On September 22nd, Page Six reported that DiCaprio and Ceretti’s relationship is much more than a “passing fling.” “They’ve been spending quite a bit of time together over the past few months, and they’re enjoying getting to know one another on a deeper level,” an insider said. The pair also hit up the same Milan Fashion Week party, and though they were not pictured together, they did leave the event at similar times.

A few days following the aforementioned report, DiCaprio and Ceretti were spotted in Milan with the actor’s mom Irmelin Indenbirken. The trio were seen at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum—DiCaprio in a black baseball hat and jacket and Ceretti in a brown sweater and cargo pants.

August 2023

The pair were spotted publicly together in August for the first time during an afternoon ice cream date in Los Angeles. A witness told Page Six that they sensed a “vibe” between the pair, adding “The way they were talking to each other, you could feel the energy.”

May 2023

According to sources, DiCaprio and Ceretti reportedly met during the Killers of the Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.
