Academy Award-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Italian model Vittoria Ceretti have sustained a relationship approaching three years, a partnership that has evolved from discreet summer outings to public appearances at prestigious entertainment industry events.
The relationship commenced in August 2023 when the pair were photographed together in Santa Barbara, California, sharing coffee and ice cream. Within weeks, the couple appeared at the Hï Ibiza nightclub in Spain, where photographs captured them dancing and displaying affection during early morning hours.
Both individuals were emerging from previous relationships when they connected. DiCaprio had concluded an intermittent romance with model Gigi Hadid, while Ceretti had separated from her husband, DJ Matteo Milleri, whom she married in June 2020. The couple reportedly parted ways before January 2023.
By November 2023, sources confirmed the relationship had become exclusive. Insiders described DiCaprio as completely devoted to Ceretti, noting that she remained unintimidated by his celebrity status—a quality he found particularly appealing. Despite an age difference exceeding twenty years, sources indicated this factor presented no obstacle to their connection.
The couple celebrated significant milestones together throughout their relationship. Ceretti attended DiCaprio's forty-ninth birthday celebration in Beverly Hills in November 2023, where witnesses reported the pair displayed consistent affection throughout the evening. The following September, DiCaprio traveled to Italy during Milan Fashion Week to accompany Ceretti while she worked, even introducing her to his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, during a museum visit on September 24, 2023.
Speculation regarding an engagement emerged in March 2024 when Ceretti was photographed wearing a ring on her left hand. However, sources clarified the couple had not become engaged, explaining that Ceretti had owned the ring for years prior to the relationship.
Throughout 2024 and into 2025, the relationship continued to strengthen. Sources described the couple as mutually supportive despite demanding travel schedules related to their respective careers. In December 2024, they were observed playing pickleball on a beach with friends before relaxing together under an umbrella.
The couple made their most significant public appearance together in March 2026 when Ceretti accompanied DiCaprio to the Academy Awards ceremony. This marked the first occasion the pair attended a major awards show together, with DiCaprio receiving a nomination for his performance in the film "One Battle After Another." The appearance represented a notable shift from DiCaprio's historically private approach to relationships.
Earlier, in May 2025, DiCaprio attended the Met Gala with Ceretti, though he characteristically avoided the red carpet photographers. While Ceretti walked the carpet, DiCaprio was photographed inside the venue, at one point holding his hand in front of his face when cameras approached.
Summer vacations have featured prominently in their time together. In August 2025, the couple was photographed aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean, where they were seen swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the coastal scenery together.
Sources close to the couple have consistently emphasized their mutual respect and support for one another's professional commitments. Both maintain demanding international careers—DiCaprio as one of Hollywood's most prominent actors and environmental activists, and Ceretti as a successful model working with major fashion houses and brands worldwide.
The relationship represents a departure from patterns observed in DiCaprio's previous romantic history, with the couple approaching their third year together and demonstrating increasing willingness to appear publicly as a couple at high-profile industry events.
