Just over a year since rumours of their romance first circulated, Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, and his Italian model girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, seem to be getting serious.
The couple initially kept their romance out of the public eye, but throughout the latter half of 2024, the actor has been spotted jet-setting to events across the globe alongside the 26-year-old.
While they may keep their joint public appearances brief, the pair were spotted looking loved-up for the first time while on holiday in Italy, with both Leo and Vittoria’s parents also tagging along.
The Titanic star is well-known for his bachelor ways, and with most of his girlfriends in recent years aged under 25, he’s developed a reputation for seemingly having a ‘rule’ of breaking up with them once they hit the quarter-century mark, but having just turned 26, it appears Vittoria has survived that relationship hurdle.
Now, their meet-the-in-laws moment is fuelling speculation that the couple might go the distance, with engagement rumours quickly dominating headlines.
In March 2024, the Victoria’s Secret model wore a ring on *that* finger, leading many to believe that they could soon be celebrating their next relationship milestone.
Despite the fan fervour surrounding the news, a source told InTouch Weekly in July 2024 that Leo “still plays by his own set of rules when it comes to relationships, especially when he’s with somebody who has an incredibly busy career and schedule, and that’s Vittoria in a nutshell.”
“There’s a different and looser set of boundaries when you are quote-unquote ‘dating’ him, and you have to get used to it if you want to stick around!”
Despite sources close to the couple seemingly shutting down speculation, rumours surrounding Leo and Vittoria’s engagement continued to populate the feeds of fans across the globe.
In November 2024, speculation was reignited after celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi posted a tip from a follower who claimed Leo had popped the question. Speaking to Page Six, sources once again quashed the rumour, stating, “This is nothing more than an internet rumour” – adding that the engagement headlines “come up every month.”
During their holiday, the couple were spotted walking the streets of Rome with his mother Irmelin Indenbirken and stepfather David Ward. Later, the families were brought together when Vittoria’s mother joined them for dinner at celebrity eatery Pierluigi where, according to TMZ, they downed a $40,000 bottle of red. No wonder they’re all getting along so well.
Whatever the nature of their relationship, they look happier than ever in these recent pictures. And with their family involved, they may be in it for the long run.

How long have Leo and Vittoria been together?
The couple were first romantically linked in August 2023 when they were spotted getting coffee. If this outing was the beginning of their relationship, they have now been dating for just over a year.
Has Leo ever dated someone over 25?
Leonardo DiCaprio has a reputation for dating women who are younger than 25, and allegedly breaking up with them when they surpass that age. And while his public dating history tends to back that point, he has on occasion broken this ‘rule’.
In 2023 he was briefly linked to Gigi Hadid, who was 27 at the time. Vittoria turned 26 in June of this year, and the pair seem to be going strong. Perhaps he has changed his ways. time will tell!
