Who Is Leonardo Dicaprio's Girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti?
We're gonna keep this short and sweet since we know you're here for all the 🍵 on Leonardo DiCaprio's latest girlfriend of *checks calendar* two years (!!!!), supermodel Vittoria Ceretti. While the two have kept things relatively low-key (save for their buzzy mega yacht getaway with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez...), we're here with absolutely everything you need to know about their relationship status, how they met, and that Leo pic spotted on Vittoria's phone during last year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But first! Let's start with a bit of background. Vittoria was born on June 7, 1998, in a small town outside of Milan called Brescia. At 14, she made her modeling debut at Elite Model Look, aka one of the most distinguished international competitions in the world. And ever since then, she's been seriously booked and busy. Among one of the many highlights of her career, however, was her first beauty contract with Chanel. 'My first contract with Chanel, my beauty contract, that's when I was like, 'What happened, how did I get here?'' she gushed during a candid interview with Vogue. Since then, the supermodel has graced the runways and campaigns of countless top designers, including *takes deep breath* Alexander McQueen, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Givenchy, Fendi, Prada, Miu Miu, Versace, Valentino Proenza Schouler, Bulgari, Tiffany & Co., and Gucci. Whoah. Yep, as a hugely successful figure in her field, Vittoria cultivated relationships with a buncha famous designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February 2019. Fast-forward to the 2023 Met Gala, which paid tribute to the late celeb via its 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty' theme, and the model made sure to be in attendance. Prior to walking the legendary red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Vittoria took to social media and shared a touching tribute to him in the form of a letter on Instagram. The year? 2023. The event? Leo's Killers of the Flower Moon premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Despite meeting at the ultra-exclusive event, however, it wasn't until August of that year that the two were romantically linked thanks to some 👀 pics of the couple on an ice cream date in Los Angeles that dropped. According to an eyewitness who spoke to Page Six, there was most certainly a 'vibe' between the duo just by the 'way they were talking to each other, you could feel the energy.' Well! Then!!!! Oh, and just a few days after, in early September, Leo and Vittoria upped the ante by being spotted dancing in Ibiza, Spain, where the actor reportedly called the supermodel his 'girlfriend.' '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 at the time. 'But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, traveling around on romantic trips.' P.S. When it came to Leo's, erm, track record, the source dished, 'It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways. There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.' You read that right! In photos shared by Page Six in September 2023, Leo and Vittoria were seen in Milan leaving the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana Museum the day prior alongside the actor's mom, Irmelin Indenbirken. And clearly, the family reunions haven't stopped, because in October 2024, the couple and Leo's parents (aka mom Irmelin and stepfather David Ward) were snapped in Italy enjoying dinner, according to TMZ. Luckily, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show blessed us with many things—including the tidbit that the supermodel has a small photo of a young Leo from his Growing Pains days on her phone case. Ahem: So 😭 happy 😭 for 😭 her 😭😭😭. But people def thought they were after Vittoria was spotted wearing a silver ring on *that* finger back in March 2024. Despite the 👀 placement, however, multiple sources told TMZ that Leo hadn't proposed. Plus, Vittoria has reportedly had the ring since at least September 2022—aka before the two even began dating—so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. That said... Back in January 2020, the celeb said 'I do' to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri, though it's believed the two are currently separated. Per Grazia magazine, the two tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Ibiza, where Vittoria donned a flowy, A-line gown by Jacquemus. '01.06.2020 🤍 from this day forward,' Vittoria penned in the caption of a sweet Instagram carousel of wedding photos. Side note: The supermodel stopped sharing images of Matteo on social media around 2022, which is well before she and Leo met, so do with that what you will! Aaaaaanyway! That's pretty much all we know about Vittoria and her 'ship with Leo, but fear not! This story will be updated with any and all news about the couple.

Kelley Mack dead at 33: 'Walking Dead' actress 'passed peacefully' of complications from glioma, her family says
"She would want you all to know how much she loves you," her sister wrote in an Instagram post announcing her death. Kelley Mack, an actress best known for her role as Addy on the television series The Walking Dead, died last weekend, her family announced on Tuesday. She was 33. Mack was diagnosed with glioma, an aggressive tumor that affects the central nervous system, last year. 'It is with indelible sadness that we are announcing the passing of our dear Kelley,' her sister, Kathryn Klebenow, said in a statement posted to her Instagram page. 'Such a bright, fervent light has transitioned to the beyond, where we all eventually must go.' Mack 'passed peacefully' on Saturday evening surrounded by loved ones at her home in Cincinnati, Klebenow's note said. She is survived by Kathryn; her brother, Parker; her parents, Kristen and Lindsay Klebenow; her grandparents Lois and Larry Klebenow; and her boyfriend, Logan Lanier. 'She would want you all to know how much she loves you,' Klebenow added. 'And as her sister, I want you all to know how brave that tough SOB was, especially when she decided to make the leap to be reunited with God. I'm so f***ing proud of her. What is glioma? According to the Mayo Clinic, a glioma is a growth of cells that starts in the brain or spinal cord. The cells eventually form a tumor that 'can grow to press on brain or spinal cord tissue,' according to the Mayo Clinic. The tumors can be benign or malignant, and symptoms can include headaches, nausea, seizures, fatigue, or weakness in the arms or legs, depending on which part of the brain or spinal cord is affected. In January, Mack revealed in an Instagram post that she had started experiencing 'persistent lower back pain' in fall 2024, which led her to believe she had slipped a disc. 'A few weeks later, I had neuropathic itching in my right quad,' she explained. 'And then, the shooting pains in my legs and back began, which resulted in me having to sleep in a recliner for a month because laying down was too painful.' The day before Thanksgiving, she had an emergency MRI, which revealed an abnormal mass in her spinal cord. After having biopsy surgery on her spinal cord, she said she lost most of the use of her legs, 'so I now get around with a walker and a wheelchair.' She was diagnosed with astrocytoma, or diffuse midline glioma, a rare type of cancerous tumor, and began radiation treatment in January. A 'love for storytelling' Mack was born Kelley Lynne Klebenow on July 10, 1992, in Cincinnati. According to a bio posted by her family on the Caring Bridge website, Kelley's 'love for storytelling' began at a young age when she was given a mini video camera as a birthday gift. 'This sparked a lifelong passion for the arts, leading her to begin acting in commercials as a child.' After graduating high school in Hinsdale, Ill., she enrolled at the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University in Orange, Calif., where she earned a bachelor's degree in cinematography in 2014. According to IMDB, Mack has 35 acting credits, including The Walking Dead, Chicago Med and 9-1-1. 'An incredible human' Tributes have begun to pour in from fans, friends and fellow actors. 'What an incredible human,' Alanna Masterson, who costarred with Mack in The Walking Dead, wrote on Instagram. 'So proud to have fought alongside her in our final episode together.' Mack's family said it will host a 'celebration and recognition of Kelley's life' at the Glendale Lyceum in Glendale, Ohio, on Aug. 16. The family is also planning to hold a celebration of Mack's life at a future date in the Los Angeles area. Solve the daily Crossword

Who Has Brittany Snow Dated?
If you watched The Hunting Wives on Netflix in one sitting (guilty), then you might be wondering whether Brittany Snow's love life is as complicated IRL as it is on screen. The answer? Very much yes. In fact, the Pitch Perfect alum's marriage (and subsequent divorce) was a big part of Selling the OC season I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Want to know everyone Brittany has romanced in the past (as well as what happened with her marriage to Tyler Stanaland)? Let's get into it. Brittany's first major relationship in the spotlight was with musician Michael Johnson, who she dated for just about three years before calling it quits in 2007. 'Brittany really cares about him but can't focus on a relationship now,' a source told In Touch at the time. The two then gave their relationship another shot in 2012 but ended up splitting a few months later. (Fun fact: Michael later went on to briefly date Brittany's Pitch Perfect costar Anna Camp.) Little is known about Brittany's relationship with actor Josh Henderson, but it's widely reported that the two ~briefly dated~ between 2007 and 2008 (as evidenced by the above photo). After meeting on the set of the indie film Walk, Brittany and Ryan Rottman dated for about two years before breaking up in 2010. 'They just grew apart,' an insider later told Just Jared. 'They're still great friends but are just focused on their careers right now.' Dating rumors started circulating about Brittany and musician William Tell after they were spotted holding hands at Coachella. However! By early 2012, William was dating Lauren Conrad, to whom he's now married. Brittany dated Teen Wolf alum Tyler Hoechlin for three years, though the two kept their romance pretty low-key. As she told Cosmo back in 2015, 'We like to keep our moments to ourselves, which is why we don't do much social media. We're not hiding anything. We're not not wanting people to know.' By the end of 2015, the relationship had fizzled out. In late 2015, Brittany raised eyebrows when she was seen at Madison Square Garden attending a Knicks game with filmmaker Andrew Jenks. At the time, a source told E! News that the two were 'casually' dating, but little else was heard about the maybe-romance. Brittany began dating her future husband—professional surfer turned real estate broker Tyler Stanaland—in 2018 after he slid into her Instagram DMs. 'We had a bunch of friends in common, and he actually reached out to me on Instagram with a really lame pickup line,' she told People when asked how they met. By February 2019, the pair was engaged, and they married a year later in March 2020. But then, in September 2022—less than a month after the release of Tyler's Netflix reality series Selling the OC—the couple announced their decision to separate. The reason? Tyler's Selling the OC costar Alex Hall, with whom he developed a very flirty relationship in season one. After the divorce was finalized, Brittany spilled all the breakup tea during a tell-all interview on Call Her Daddy. 'I was not aware of a lot of things, and I'll say that,' she told host Alex Cooper. 'So, I will say, what people think happened, happened.' Well then! Most recently, Brittany sparked romance rumors with photographer Hunter Moreno after they were papped kissing in New York City in October 2024. It's unclear whether they're still dating, but she did give him photo cred on this July 2025 IG post, which feels promising!
