Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, enjoyed a sun-soaked yacht trip, igniting chatter about their relationship. The couple’s affectionate display in the Mediterranean Sea drew attention from fans and critics alike.
The 50-year-old Hollywood icon and the 27-year-old model were spotted near Formentera, Spain, on August 15. Their cozy moments on the yacht showcased a blossoming romance.
DiCaprio, dressed in black swim trunks, and Ceretti, in an animal-print bikini, took a refreshing dip in the sea. The rare glimpse into their private lives fueled online discussions.
Social media buzzed with comments about their 23-year age difference. One user quipped, “He’s dating a 27-year-old? I thought he cuts them off at 25!”
Critics didn’t hold back, with some calling DiCaprio’s choice of younger partners a “mid-life crisis.” Others speculated, “He’s probably a selfish lover, picking younger women who won’t notice.”
Despite the criticism, some fans supported the couple. “Good for him!” one commented, while another noted, “Everyone’s entitled to their feelings.”
In a recent interview, DiCaprio claimed he feels emotionally 32 years old. When asked by filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson about his age, he reflected thoughtfully.
He explained that being 50 brings a desire to be “more honest” and avoid wasting time. “You don’t want to waste your time anymore,” he said, emphasizing authenticity.
DiCaprio cited his mother as an inspiration, noting her straightforward approach. “She says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time,” he shared.
He added that with more life behind than ahead, he values being upfront. This mindset shapes his personal and professional relationships, he explained.
DiCaprio and Ceretti’s romance began in August 2023. Ceretti, an Italian model, was previously married to DJ Matteo Milleri in 2020.
By late 2022, Ceretti stopped posting about Milleri on social media, hinting at a shift. Her relationship with DiCaprio soon became public.
Ceretti addressed dating a global superstar in Vogue France’s April 2025 issue. She admitted the label of “girlfriend of” can be frustrating.
“It’s annoying to be defined by someone else’s fame,” she said. Still, she emphasized that genuine love outweighs public scrutiny.
The couple attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish Venice wedding in June. Ceretti reportedly tore her dress partying, while DiCaprio stayed low-key.
Sources say DiCaprio is “smitten” with Ceretti, praising her charm and sweetness. Their mutual respect supports their busy, travel-heavy careers.
Fans remain divided, with some joking about DiCaprio’s dating patterns. “She wasn’t even born when Titanic came out,” one user remarked online.
