Leonardo DiCaprio Breaks Dating Rule With Vittoria Ceretti

The actor explores a relationship with a model over the age of 25, defying his past patterns.

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, has been at the center of countless dating rumors over the years, famously adhering to an unspoken rule of never dating women over the age of 25. This has led to extensive speculation and jokes in Hollywood circles about what many have dubbed 2Leo's Law.2 However, his romantic pattern appears to have taken an unexpected turn with his new girlfriend, 26-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, who is soon to celebrate her 27th birthday.

DiCaprio's dating history has long sparked intrigue, particularly as he has dated numerous young women, often reaching the two-and-five age threshold just before their 26th birthday. For instance, he ended his relationship with model Bar Refaeli in 2010, the year she turned 25 and similarly dated Kelly Rohrbach until her own 25th birthday in 2015. Most recently, he was linked romantically to Nina Agdal, who he broke up with in 2017, just two months after she hit the quarter-century milestone.

Breaking his typical dating pattern, DiCaprio has found himself smitten with Ceretti, despite her surpassing the unofficial age limit. Insiders close to the actor revealed that one of the pivotal reasons for this change lies in Ceretti's past experiences and her current attitude towards marriage.

Ceretti was previously married to Matteo Milleri, a 36-year-old DJ known by the stage name 'Anyma.' According to reports from RadarOnline and other sources, Ceretti is in no rush to walk down the aisle again. This perspective has reportedly taken a weight off DiCaprio's shoulders, allowing their relationship to flourish without pressure for immediate commitment. An insider explained, With previous relationships, he felt a certain pressure to make it official with talk of marriage, but there is no rush to change what [he and Ceretti] have right now. She is the realest girlfriend he has ever had, and she makes him feel genuinely loved.

Both DiCaprio and Ceretti appreciate the space each provides for the other's career pursuits; this dynamic seems to work well for them. The source continued, He appreciates that so much because it is important to him to have his own life alongside his life with Vittoria, who also has the space to concentrate on her own successful career. It just works, and friends believe she will be the one, because she isn't pressuring him into marriage.

As for DiCaprio, he’s maintained a rather carefree attitude towards long-term commitments. In 2016, he expressed to Parade that, That time will come when that time comes. The truth is, you can’t predict marriage. You can’t plan it. It’s just going to happen when it happens. Yet, nearly a decade later, he remains steadfast in his stance. Sources suggest that DiCaprio doesn’t see himself ever getting married and feels comfortable with the non-traditional nature of his relationship with Ceretti.

Ceretti reportedly resonates with DiCaprio’s lifestyle, often adapting to the high-profile nature of his career. It's been noted that DiCaprio was quoted in Esquire, acknowledging that relationships can be challenging with his travel-heavy schedule: Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship. Yet, with Ceretti, he seems to have discovered a partner who can match this lifestyle.

The couple has been together for over a year, and their relationship has not been without its share of public interest. The two were seen enjoying casual outings, such as getting ice cream during the summer of 2023, and making out on the beaches of Ibiza, where Ceretti had once exchanged vows with her ex-husband. Sources confirm that DiCaprio is besotted with his new girlfriend, as he has been seen enjoying various public outings with her over the past two years.

While many of DiCaprio's friends had previously speculated on his suitability to commit long-term, reports indicate that his family, especially his mother Irmelin Indenbirken, who shares a close bond with him, has taken a liking to Ceretti. Insiders share that You can see that they both appreciate what they have. [She] understands that his schedule can change, and she never shows any jealousy.

Friends of DiCaprio believe that Ceretti breaks the mold of previous relationships and she could be the one who marries him, given her more relaxed approach to commitment. They feel Ceretti might be the turning point in DiCaprio's romantic life.

As Ceretti approaches her 27th birthday in June, the couple continues to defy the odds and expectations dictated by DiCaprio's past relationships, leaving many to wonder if this new chapter represents a long-term partnership in the making. DiCaprio's friends have noted that he is only focused on her. The world waits with bated breath to see if Hollywood's most elusive bachelor will finally settle down a little closer to home.
