Leonardo DiCaprio Hasn’t Dated Anyone over 25 for Years: Meet the Single Mom He Broke This Streak For, Source Says
Over the years, Leonardo DiCaprio mostly got into relationships with women who were almost half his age. However, one of his partners became one of the few that have managed to help him break that pattern.
Besides his massive career achievements and work as a climate change advocate, Leonardo DiCaprio has gotten much attention over the women he dates. In January 2020, a Reddit user named TrustLittleBrother shared a graph mistakenly stating how the "Titanic" star never dated women his age.
The graph noted that the actor was over 45 and only dated women under 25. It was revealed that he'd had relationships with people like Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Blake Lively, and Erin Heatherton.

His dating life has been packed, with him also having relations with Toni Garrn and Nina Agdal, to name a few. The first time Leonardo was linked to someone was in 1994 when he went out with Bridget Hall — when they were just teenagers — before starting to go down a list of eligible bachelorettes.
He then had a short-lived relationship with model Kristen Zang, then 22, from 1996 until the following year. After finding fame with the "Titanic," he saw Amber Valletta, then 24, in a magazine and got his representatives to find her.

When his movie was set to come out in 1997, the celebrity had a short relationship with one of his oldest girlfriends, Helena Christensen, then 30. Even though it wasn't confirmed, fans wondered if he also dated Liv Tyler in the late 1990s when photos of them together did the rounds.
After "Titanic" came out, he had a thing with supermodel Naomi Campbell, and although their romantic relationship didn't succeed, they remained close friends. Leonardo met Eva Herzigová, then 24, in 1998 while she was married to Tico Torres, Bon Jovi's drummer.

Rumors said the pair dated for two months before calling it quits. He then moved on to his "The Beach" co-star, Virginie LeDoyen, but that relationship also didn't go anywhere, and he landed in Bündchen's arms for his longest bond that began in 2000 and ended in 2005.
The actor met Refaeli, then 20, in Los Angeles at a U2 concert, and they dated on and off from 2005 to 2010. While on a break with Refaeli, the star briefly saw Anne Vyalitsyna, then 23, before moving on to Lively, then 24, whom he dated for five months in 2011.

The "Man in the Iron Mask" actor and Heatherton, then 22, were together for ten months before concluding their relationship in 2012. The following year was the first time he was seen with Garrn, 20 at the time, but by 2014, they'd already called it quits.
He dated Kelly Rohrbach for a few months before they went their separate ways in 2016. Leonardo moved on to Agdal, who was 24, that same year but the following year, that relationship fizzled out, and he found love with Camila Morrone, then 20, for four years before they concluded in 2022.
In 2019, Morrone — 23 years younger than Leonardo — defended their relationship when she noted how many Hollywood relationships had "large age gaps." The model said people should be allowed to date whomever they wished.

It was confirmed in 2022 that the "Great Gatsby" star and Gigi were dating. Leonardo again appeared to go out of his age preference with the model, and he seemed happy and content with her.
Gigi: One of the Women Leonardo Dated Who Was Out of His Normal Age Range
When Leonardo started seeing Gigi, she was among the few women over 25. The model turned 28 in April 2023, which meant she was 27 when she and the actor got into a romantic relationship.

In September 2022, Leonardo was 47 when he was linked to Gigi as they were seen flirting in New York City's Casa Cipriani. A source confirmed the pair were dating as they cuddled while out together for dinner.
Another insider revealed that the duo frequented the establishment due to the privacy it gave. The source said the actor was "very attracted" to his date, while another person shared how the star had "always had a soft spot" for Gigi, adding:
"He thinks she's beautiful, of course, but also a wise and cool character who's got a very cultured and educated take on life."

The former couple also had mutual friends who were pleased for them despite the relationship seemingly coming out of nowhere. The insider claimed Leonardo knew that people had noticed he tended to lean more toward dating young models aged 25 or under.
The source noted how the actor now has a "type" but was more interested in living a less playboy-like lifestyle. Earlier in the month, someone else revealed that Gigi hadn't been ready to get into a romantic relationship when Leonardo initially pursued her.
Another person said the "Don't Look Up" star liked that the model had her "life together," had a child, and was mature. The older celebrity was allegedly looking to be in a relationship with someone who was into giving back and held the same political views he did.
The former couple nurtured their relationship by seeing each other in New York City when possible, and Gigi enjoyed it. The pair even attended the New York Fashion Week party together, with a source noting how the model was happy with their bond.
In November 2022, they joined ViVi Nevo for dinner at Casa Cipriani, and it was revealed that Leonardo worked around Gigi's schedule to see her, as being a mother was her focus. A source claimed the supermodel was "smitten" with the actor.
However, Leonardo and Gigi preferred to remain private, and things seemed serious between them when she met his parents. On June 6, 2023, the supermodel traveled to England and attended an event at China Tang with George DiCaprio and Peggy Farrar before having dinner at the Chiltern Firehouse.
Gigi was well-treated and attracted to the Oscar Award winner, whom she found charming and mature. However, her priority always remained motherhood, but by early July 2023, the couple's relationship seemed to be going strong.
It isn't clear if the incident is the cause of their ultimate breakup.
Leonardo and his then-girlfriend were seen flirting and enjoying each other's company for two weekend nights in the Hamptons. The duo appeared at a Fourth of July party and Kissaki in WaterMill, with the supermodel looking happy.
However, another person alleged that Gigi didn't see the relationship progressing significantly. Despite that, as long as the actor didn't disrespect her or cause drama, she was reportedly willing to continue dating him.
Gigi's Dating Life, Becoming a Mother, and Her Breakup
Gigi dated Zayn Malik on and off from 2015 until 2021. In September 2020, the couple welcomed their daughter, Khai, before breaking up again the following month on the 28th, with rumors that the singer "struck" Yolanda Hadid, the model's mother, during an argument.
Malik denied the claims against him after it was revealed that Yolanda was considering laying charges. In a Twitter post, the musician said private family matters weren't supposed to be publicly exposed but handled within.
It isn't clear if the incident is the cause of their ultimate breakup, but a Hadid family friend noted that Gigi and Malik weren't together that month. The same person shared how the pair are co-parenting and are good parents.
In January 2023, the supermodel opened up a bit about her life as a mother of one, revealing that she wakes up when her daughter does, which was "usually between 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m." Gigi's real name is Jelena Noura Hadid, and she was born in Los Angeles, California, on April 23, 1995.

Her father is Mohamed Hadid, and she started her entertainment industry career at age two when Guess's Paul Marciano discovered her. After working for Baby Guess, she halted her modeling career, focused on school, and eventually went back.
Leonardo's former girlfriend was well-known for her role as a "Sports Illustrated" model. However, some fans best knew her for her recurring role on the reality television series, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
