Truth About Leonardo DiCaprio’s Alleged Under 25 Dating Rule – How Many Times It’s Been True Amid Vittoria Ceretti Engagement Rumors

Apart from his Oscar-worthy performances, Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating life has been one of the most talked about among the fans and media. The actor has often been noticed by fans for his alleged pattern of dating significantly younger women.

Fans who follow the actor’s life have been eyeing his dates for years. The gossip and memes about his age-based requirements are now a trend. It turned his dating life into an algorithmic pattern that doesn’t seem to follow the typical approach to relationships.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Under-25 Dating Pattern

Leonardo DiCaprio’s list of girlfriends consists of celebs, from models to actresses. However, to many, it appears that each of his relationships works until this stage where the woman reaches the age of 25 or advances towards marriage.

One of his early relationships was with Bridget Hall. The model was in her late teens, and the actor was in his early 20s at the time. However, their relationship didn’t last long. He also dated Amber Valletta when both were around 24 but ended their relationship as soon as it started.

DiCaprio was also rumored to be dating Bijou Phillips for a brief period during 1998 when she was in her late teens. The actor’s reputation of 25 years seemingly started with Gisele Bundchen. According to Marie Claire, they began dating in 1999, when she was about 20 and separated when she was 25.

Bar Refaeli’s story is pretty much the same. She and DiCaprio were together until she was about to turn 26 in 2011. According to Today, Refaeli wanted to marry DiCaprio, and “he wasn’t ready for that.” The actor later reportedly dated Russian American model Anne Vyalitsyna, who was also under 25 around that time.

According to E! Online, DiCaprio dated Blake Lively for a few months in 2011, when the actress was 24 and the actor was around 37. He was then linked with Erin Heatherton and Toni Garrn, who were in their early 20s at the time.

According to People, Kelly Rohrbach also broke up with DiCaprio when she was 25 and he was 41. The actor was then linked with Nina Agdal, but their relationship ended in 2017 just after Agdal turned 25 (as per People).

Still, there were few breaks in the pattern. According to Us Weekly, Rihanna was briefly linked to DiCaprio in 2015, when she was 27. Another example was Laura Whitmore, who was linked to DiCaprio after the 2016 BAFTA Awards when she was 31 (as per HuffPost). However, such cases were as rare as they could be.

The pattern became so upfront that many began to talk about DiCaprio’s age preference. However, the actor never came out to respond to these speculations.

Are Vittoria Ceretti and Leonardo DiCaprio Engaged?

It seems like Vittoria Ceretti might be re-scripting Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating pattern. The Italian model is 26, which already is different from the usual pattern. DiCaprio and Ceretti’s dating rumors started in the summer of 2023 when a viral video showed them spending quality time in Ibiza.

Ceretti is one of the top international models who has worked for such giants as Dior, Prada, Versace, etc. Their engagement rumors began when Ceretti started sporting a heart diamond ring.

Many thought that DiCaprio was finally settling down. But TMZ explained that the ring was not an engagement ring, rather, Ceretti had owned it since 2022. However, fans have been speculating about their secret engagement since then.

The engagement talks are reignited once again after gossip blog DeuxMoi (via 21 on X) hinted that the couple is reportedly engaged now. Ceretti’s previous marriage to Italian DJ Matteo Milleri ended in early 2023. However, her new engagement rumor with DiCaprio has not been confirmed yet.
