Stylish model Vittoria Ceretti, 27, beams on date night with her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, as they step out in St Tropez harbour
Stylish Vittoria Ceretti beamed as she enjoyed a date night with her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio on Tuesday. The model, 27, and the actor, 50, stepped out in St Tropez harbour as they prepared to depart from the French coastal town presumably by yacht. Vittoria cut a chic figure in a strappy white lace dress as she looked over her shoulder to smile at Leo. She boosted her height with silver heels and pulled her brunette tresses back, while Leo wore a casual white T-shirt and his usual cap. Leo's annual trip to France comes just a few days after he was in south London attending Wimbledon. Vittoria and Leo are said to have met at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, where his Martin Scorsese movie Killers Of The Flower Moon was premiering. They were first linked in the August of that year, after a flurry of rumors that had connected Leo to Vittoria's fellow supermodel Gigi Hadid. Over the course of their time together, Vittoria has been seen on occasion with a ring on her wedding finger, but sources have insisted she and Leo are not engaged. Vittoria was previously married from 2020 until 2023 to the Italian DJ Matteo Milleri, who is part of the Berlin-based duo Tale of Us. It comes after earlier this month Vittoria sparked backlash after she reposted a TikTok supporting Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's lavish Venice wedding. The Italian beauty accompanied the Oscar winner to the star-studded nuptials - but has since been slammed by fans over on Reddit. A TikTok user shared a reel with the caption in the first slide reading, 'Everyone hating on Jeff Bezos' wedding..' The next image showed a small air conditioner alongside the text, 'But I ordered this AC at 10pm last night and it arrived by 9am. Enjoy your wedding king.' The TikToker additionally penned, 'why are we hating?? he gave me cold air and a reason to live. enjoy your wedding Jeff,' as the track No Broke Boys by Tinashe and Disco Lines played in the background. Ceretti - who also joined celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady during the three-day festivities - shared the clip to the top of her reposts and 137k followers. Some social media users took notice of the video, and shared their thoughts over on a Reddit page. One penned, 'This is such a "let them eat cake." moment,' while another simply added, 'yikesss.' 'The video was accompanied by Tinashe song No Broke Boys,' one pointed put, as a fan replied, 'Well isn't that just the cherry on top of.' Another questioned if the TikTok had been 'satire or serious' and one responded, 'It was meant to be humorous but they are pointing out the inherent hypocrisy in people crying about this wedding and still heavily using and loving the service he created.' Vittoria whisked herself away to Venice to join other A-list guests while attending the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Ceretti was also seen with her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio - who kept a lowkey profile over the course of the three days. During the celebrations, Vittoria donned a vintage Dolce & Gabbana gown that had previously been worn by Gisele Bundchen in 2003. However, the Italian model got candid about the major wardrobe malfunction that she suffered - and revealed that the material on the gown had ripped. She shared a photo to Instagram of the dazzling sheer look and added, 'How it started,' before giving a shocking update. The star then showed a tiny rip in the fabric and in a third picture, the dress had been completely torn around her legs. In between the wedding and other glitzy parties, Vittoria was seen exploring the romantic city of Venice and also spent time with newly single Orlando Bloom. The model was first linked to the Titanic actor in 2023 and made rare comments about their relationship during an interview with Vogue France in April. In regards to dating some as famous as DiCaprio, the beauty expressed that is 'something you learn.' She added, 'If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.' Leonardo has also recently faced backlash of his own due to preaching about saving the planet after he attended Bezos' wedding - and was branded a 'hypocrite' by some fans.

The six poshest pickleball courts to play on
Once dismissed as a mere child's pastime in northwest America during the Sixties, pickleball has become increasingly popular recently. Participation has soared since its post-pandemic boom circa 2022, with celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney among its fan base. Pickleball has been described as a hybrid of numerous racket sports, such as tennis, badminton, padel and ping pong. The director of spa and fitness at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess Bermuda, Menique De La Rosa, explained: 'Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net. It's played in single or doubles, with players using paddles similar to the bats in table tennis to hit a plastic ball over the net. While padel is played on an enclosed court with walls that players use to bounce the ball, pickleball is played on an open court without walls.' • Rollercoasters, arcade games and giant slides — I've found the most fun-packed cruise ship De La Rosa believes the main reason pickleball has grown in popularity is because it is a low-impact sport that is 'easy' to learn, which is appealing to all fitness abilities and ages. With this in mind, it's unsurprising that luxury resorts across the globe are capitalising on the boom, integrating pickleball courts, fitness retreats, coaching programmes and private clinics into their offerings. From the Maldives to the Mediterranean, here are the poshest places to play, and be seen playing, pickleball all year. Situated in the north Male Atoll, Kagi Maldives is home to the first dedicated pickleball court in the Maldives. Just take a 15-minute seaplane or 60-minute boat transfer from Velana International airport and you can set to work perfecting your pickleball skills. Kagi's all-weather court is available for guests to use all year for free. Arrange your own match with fellow guests or book lessons to sharpen your backhand. Afterwards guests can relax at the overwater Baani Spa, which is the largest in the archipelago, dine across four on-site restaurants or toast your triumph with a nightcap at the trio of bars. With roots in the 1920s, this heritage resort offers members exclusive access to the award-winning Sonoma Golf Club, its tennis and pickleball facilities, as well as the high-tech gym. Reserve a court to play one-on-one or friendly doubles using the complimentary rackets or book drop-in drills, a private lesson or group clinic with a resident professional. Relax post-match in the renovated 40,000 sq ft spa powered by natural thermal waters. As Fairmont Sonoma is located in the famous Sonoma wine region it is worth bookmarking a trip to a vineyard. Better yet, sample the finest vintages on the resort's Vintner Member Programme after a farm-to-table feast at the Clubhouse Grill Restaurant. • Outdoor courts and influencers — a whole new ballgame for squash Hamilton Princess renovated its facilities in 2023 to incorporate four pickleball courts into the tennis courts. These can be found at the Princess Beach Club on a private cove in Sinky Bay, located just a 20-minute Jitney drive from the main resort. The pink and blue courts are apt considering the resort's candy-coloured exterior, which has affectionately earned it the nickname the Pink Palace. The equipment and courts are available to use daily between 10am and 5pm, all free of charge. Guests can also book lessons with the on-site pickleball professional. Enjoy a post-pickleball aperitif at the Beach Club Kitchen or a lunchtime snack at the Duchess Café and Gelateria. Come dinner, choose between locally sourced surf and turf at Intrepid restaurant, the relaxed ambience at the Crown and Anchor or fine dining at 1609 Bar and Restaurant with sunset views of Hamilton Harbour. This exclusive luxury hideaway on Crete's northern coast opened its first pickleball court in May 2024 at its Racquet Club, which also has two tennis courts and a padel court. Guests of all ages and abilities can book the pickleball one for €40 per hour. If you wish to hone your forehand, guests can sign up to private sessions for €90 per hour or a complimentary 60-minute group clinic with the on-site coach, which is available from May to October. Off the court, Elounda Peninsula boasts an immense 420 sq ft pool overlooking a blue flag private sandy beach, a Six Senses Spa and four dining restaurants, including Elies Beach House, where the menu has been curated by the nutritionist and bestselling author Emily English. • Paris elite are hooked on sweet science of boxing This prestigious eco-friendly resort boasts eight courts — two of which are dedicated to pickleball. One-on-one pickleball lessons, as well as private family sessions, can be booked at a cost ($100 for a 30-minute tuition or $200 for 60 minutes). However, the professional coaching clinics are only available Tuesdays to Friday from 10 to 11am or 4 to 5pm. Off-court activities include sailing lessons, a two-night sea-scape on a luxury catamaran or snorkelling along the half-mile wilderness beach, which is one of the world's best beaches. Alternatively, book a soap-making masterclass, enjoy a spa visit or have a Caribbean feast at six on-site restaurants. Tucked beside an 18,000-acre nature reserve, Amanyara offers a private sanctuary to hone your pickleball technique. Its pickleball court — introduced in 2019 — joins the resort's four clay Har-Tru tennis courts, football pitch, comprehensive fitness centre, as well as Pilates, boxing and yoga studios. The Amanyara Legends Programme invites elite athletes, such as Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova, to lead exclusive retreats, while the pickleball professional Wes Burrows will helm an expert clinic in November. Although court access is complimentary for guests, coaching sessions start from $185 per hour — an investment if you're determined to win Amanyara's Pickleball Tournament. Elsewhere, explore the tropical landscape on a private eco-tour of the Northwest Point National Park, take to the waters on a paddleboard, kiteboard, kayak or Hobie Cat, or de-stress at one of the spa's four pavilions. Hungry pickleballers can enjoy the Asian-inspired menu at the Restaurant, a Mediterranean-centric menu at the Beach Club or the Bar's all-day dining. Private dining is also available.
