Leonardo DiCaprio breaks dating pattern for Italian beauty Vittoria

Leonardo DiCaprio, long known for dating women much younger than him, seems to be rewriting the rules with his newest love.

The 50-year-old actor is said to be romancing 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, with insiders claiming his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, approves wholeheartedly.

“Vittoria’s quite different to the other girls he’s been with,” a source told The Sun.

“She was harder to impress, very Italian, and has high expectations. She struck up a strong bond with his mother immediately.” 

According to the insider, she has her own bustling, high-profile life and isn’t just following him from city to city.

Vittoria herself opened up to Vogue France earlier this year about the romance, revealing the couple met in Milan. 

She admitted she’s a fan of DiCaprio’s iconic 1997 film Titanic, released the year before she was born. 

“It’s iconic,” she said, while stressing that real love overcomes jealousy. She also revealed a close bond with the actor’s family, particularly his mother.

The couple first sparked dating rumours in summer 2023, spotted on an ice cream date in Los Angeles, and later seen dancing in Ibiza. 

Prior to Vittoria, the Inception actor was in a long-term relationship with Italian actress Camila Morrone, who he split with just before her 25th birthday in 2022.
