Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti is above 25 and the internet can't keep calm
(Image:
For years, Leonardo DiCaprio's love life has followed a predictable (and slightly comical) pattern: date a stunning woman under 25, part ways before her next birthday, and repeat.
It became such a thing that people started calling it the 'Leo 25 Rule'—a sort of invisible stopwatch ticking away in the background of every one of his relationships.
But now? That stopwatch might've finally stopped.
Enter Vittoria Ceretti, the 27-year-old Italian supermodel who's got the looks, the career, and, more importantly, the age that's turning heads across Hollywood. Not just because she's drop-dead gorgeous or because she struts runways for Prada and Chanel like she was born on them—but because, finally, Leo's dating a woman who doesn't come with a countdown clock.
The Cannes connection
Their romance reportedly began around Cannes 2023, a fitting backdrop for two people who are essentially walking cinema. While they kept things low-key at first, things took a bold turn in May 2025 when the pair made a high-voltage appearance at the Met Gala. Vittoria, dressed in a sheer burgundy gown with the confidence of a woman completely comfortable in her own skin, walked side-by-side with Leo, who for once didn't seem to be dodging the cameras.

The body language was subtle but intimate—hands grazing, private smiles, that knowing look couples share when they're on the same wavelength. Paparazzi caught them laughing between poses, leaning in mid-conversation, and looking genuinely…well, happy.
And the internet noticed.
Breaking the 'Under 25' cycle
Let's not sugarcoat it—Leo's dating track record has become a pop culture punchline. From Gisele Bündchen to Bar Refaeli, every breakup happened like clockwork when the woman turned 25.
It's been charted, graphed, and turned into viral memes. He's never said out loud that he has an age limit, but the pattern has been too strong to ignore.
So when fans discovered that Vittoria is 27, the reaction was immediate: wait, is Leo... evolving?
It's not just her age that's got people hopeful. It's who she is.
Vittoria: More than a supermodel
Born in Brescia, Italy, Vittoria Ceretti has been modeling since she was a teenager. But she's no fresh face.
She's walked for Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Chanel, Balenciaga, and graced multiple international Vogue covers. She's known for her cool-girl charisma, artsy edge, and not playing the typical 'celebrity girlfriend' role.
Insiders say she's fiercely independent, emotionally mature, and not interested in fame for fame's sake—which, let's be honest, is probably refreshing for someone like Leo.
Their chemistry, as insiders note, is 'easy and unforced.'
She's not star-struck, he's not trying too hard, and there's reportedly 'a lot of mutual respect.' That's not something we've heard about many of his past flings.
Rumors, rings, and real talk
Of course, it wouldn't be a Leo romance without a few rumors. Tabloids floated the idea of a secret engagement in late 2024, but sources close to the couple say there's no ring—yet. Still, those same sources hint that DiCaprio is 'more grounded' with Vittoria than he's been in years.
Some even speculate that fatherhood might not be completely off the table anymore. One insider told a celeb weekly: 'He's not suddenly planning a white-picket-fence life, but he's thinking more seriously about the future.'
No one's saying he's ready to settle down with a house in the suburbs and a Labradoodle. But dating someone outside of his 'forever 24' comfort zone? That's already big news.
A Hollywood glow-up?
Look, Leo has always been Leonardo DiCaprio—Oscar-winner, climate activist, Hollywood legend.
But his personal life? It often felt like it belonged to a man stuck in the same loop. With Vittoria Ceretti, the vibe is different. She brings grace, wit, independence, and just enough European cool to make even Leo look like he's trying to keep up.
They're stylish, age-appropriate (finally!), and—dare we say—kind of wholesome.
So maybe the jokes can stop. Maybe we're watching Leonardo DiCaprio, almost 50, lean into a version of adulthood that doesn't come with Peter Pan syndrome.
Because for the first time in a long time, he's not dating someone who still needs a learner's permit to rent a car.
