Leonardo DiCaprio, 48, settles down with Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 25, as pals claim he is ‘besotted’ with new flame

He’s perhaps the world’s most prolific lothario.

But after years of canoodling with various much younger beautiful women, Leonardo DiCaprio has finally settled down – at the age of 48.

The Mail can reveal that the Hollywood actor has been dating Italian model Vittoria Ceretti for at least two months after they were seen kissing in an Ibiza nightclub this week.

Sources close to the actor say that he is ‘besotted’ with Vittoria who at the age of 25 is 23 years his junior.

They also say that the Italian model is being referred to as his ‘girlfriend.’

Leo has a reputation for only dating women 25 or under and famously tends to break up with them after they pass the milestone – as he did with his last serious girlfriend  Camila Morrone, now 26.

The Hollywood star has been secretly jetting around the world with her throughout the summer – prompting much discussion amongst the star’s friends that he has finally given up his lothario days.

One said: ‘Vittoria is a beautiful girl, but Leonardo is of course surrounded by many beautiful girls most of the time.

‘But he adores her and she him, they have been spending a lot of time together this summer, travelling around on romantic trips.

‘It has obviously led to much chatter within his circle that Leo is ready to hang up his lothario ways.

‘There have been many women pictured with him, partying with him, but what he has with Vittoria is much more serious.’

Vittoria is the daughter of designer Francesca Lazzari and has modelled for the likes of Alexander McQueen and Versace.

The Balenciaga brand ambassador seems to be well acquainted with a few members of Leonardo’s inner-circle this summer including Fusion Model Neelam Kaur Gill and DNA Model Meghan Roche.

Close: The model seems to be well acquainted with a few members of Leonardo’s inner-circle with his former alleged on/off flame – Gigi Hadid – commenting on Vittoria’s Instagram
When Vittoria shared a sultry Instagram slideshow on June 24, Leo’s former alleged on/off flame – IMG Model Gigi Hadid – commented: ‘Omg!’

She seems to be separated from her husband, Tales of Us DJ Matteo Milleri.

The brunette catwalker hasn’t been pictured with the New York-born Italian 35-year-old – whom she previously gushed was ‘the love of her life’ – since December 29.

She and Leo were seen together in France in late May just as his film Killers of the Flower Moon was premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.

And at the end of August they were also spotted going for an afternoon ice-cream date with each other in Santa Barbara.

Back in November, Vittoria made headlines for her reaction to nepo-baby Lily-Rose Depp where she claimed ‘the internet cares a lot more about who your family is than the people who are casting you in things.’

The model responded: ‘I get the whole “I’m here and I work hard for it,” but I would really love to see if you would have lasted through the first five years of my career.

‘Not only being rejected, because I know you have an experience with it and you can tell me your sad little story about it ‘even if at the end of the day you can still always go cry on your dad’s couch in your villa in Malibu.’

Meanwhile, Leonardo has previously loved and left stunners like Camila Morrone, Nina Agdal, Kelly Rohrbach, Blake Lively, Rihanna, Gisele Bündchen, and Bar Refaeli – who were all 25 or under when they dated.

Leonardo was more recently rumoured to be romancing model Gigi Hadid, 28, with the pair first sparking romance rumors nearly one year ago in September 2022.

She is the first person he has ever publicly dated that was over the age of 25.

Previously, DiCaprio and Morrone called it quits in August 2022 after a four-year-long relationship.

They had met in May 2017 at the Cannes when she was just 19 at the time.

A year earlier, he met Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal — who is now engaged to YouTube star Logan Paul — at the same festival.

Agdal had celebrated her 25th birthday that year they dated.

Days before he met Camila, however, he had ended his relationship with Agdal.

Leonardo and Camila started dating officially about six months later.

Just shortly before hitting their five-year mark and months after her 25th birthday, they had split.

Having their say: One wrote in reaction to the kissing snaps: ‘She gonna be gone before this tweet is done’
After the pictures emerged with Vittoria many were quick to ridicule him for the fact it wouldn’t be a long relationship as she will turn 26 next June.

One wrote: ‘She gonna be gone before this tweet is done.’

Another joked: ‘She’s got 9 months left!’, while a third said: ‘one more year and he wont look at her again!’

A fourth said: ‘This probably the first and last time they kissed’, while someone else penned: ‘he picked someone with an expiration tag this time.’
