Has Hollywood's "eternal playboy" Leonardo S.p.A. (51) finally decided to settle down? News that his romance with model Vittoria Ceretti (27) is serious has drawn worldwide attention.
On the 17th (local time), according to foreign media People and Page Six, DiCaprio and Ceretti attended the 2026 Academy Awards together on Sunday, effectively announcing to the world that they are an "official couple." A close associate said, "The relationship with Vittoria is definitely different from before and much more serious."
DiCaprio has long been known for the so-called "25-year rule," dating only models 25 or younger. But Vittoria Ceretti, 27 this year, has gone beyond that limit and firmly captured DiCaprio's heart.
A close associate said, "DiCaprio is deeply enamored with Vittoria's independent nature," adding, "She is someone with a clear life of her own. That is very important for DiCaprio, who is busy with filming." Unlike previous lovers, she has shown affection much more openly in public, raising expectations about the couple's future.
The two appeared separately on the red carpet and acted cautiously, but inside the awards hall they sat side by side and showed affection. When host Conan O'Brien jokingly called DiCaprio "the king of memes" during his opening monologue and asked for a playful expression, DiCaprio responded wittily, and Ceretti, who was beside him, smiled brightly—moments that were captured on the broadcast camera.
DiCaprio was nominated for best actor for the film "One Battle After Another," but the award went to Michael B. Jordan. Yet the solid romance with Vittoria Ceretti is attracting more attention than the disappointment over the loss.
This is the third time DiCaprio has brought a romantic partner to the Academy Awards. It is the first time since 2005 with Gisele Bündchen and 2020 with Camila Morrone. In Hollywood, DiCaprio's attending the Oscars with a partner is often interpreted as a sign of marriage or a relationship serious enough to be considered equivalent.
DiCaprio, who also attended Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice, Italy, last summer with Ceretti, has sparked curiosity about whether Vittoria Ceretti could be the one to solve Hollywood's greatest challenge of "getting DiCaprio married."
