DiCaprio was born in Hollywood, California, and grew up in a dangerous neighborhood. He had trouble finding friends; as he once told Parade about his childhood, “I never belonged.” After getting a few commercials as a kid, he landed a role on the sitcom GrowingPains at 17; Robert De Niro cast him in This Boy’s Life and he’s been an A-list movie star ever since. While his movie career is one of the most esteemed on the planet, his romantic life has been, shall we say, occasionally mocked. There’s a prevailing joke that he only dates blonde models (and actresses, periodically) and a Reddit user even created a graph that presumably proves he’s never publicly dated a woman over the age of 25, even as he’s currently pushing 50. DiCaprio is also notoriously private about his private life, never mentioning girlfriends in interviews. “I liked it when you went to see a movie and you didn’t know everything about the actor,” he once said. Perhaps that’s why everyone’s mystified by his current relationship with long-term girlfriend Camila Morrone. Sure, she’s also a model/actress like many of his exes–but for starters, she’s a brunette. Not only that, but their relationship has lasted a number of years and seems to be on super-solid ground. So who is she? Keep reading to find out everything we know about Leonardo DiCaprio’s current lady love Camila Morrone, as well as who else he’s dated in the past.
Who is Leonardo DiCaprio’s girlfriend?
Morrone was born to Argentine parents in California in 1997 (uh, the year Titanic came out!) Her dad, Maximo, is a former model and her mom, Lucia Solá, is an actress. When she was younger, she didn’t want any part of the Hollywood lifestyle. “I saw them struggle their whole lives to be financially independent actors, and seeing them go through that, I was kind of turned off to it,” Morrone explained to The Los Angeles Times. “There was so much angst around acting, and it was such a topic of conversation—never knowing where your next paycheck is going to come from. I thought, ‘I’m going to go to college. I’m going to have a normal 9-to-5 job.’ And of course, I ended up exactly like them.” She made her runway debut walking for Moschino and has worked with Coach, Victoria’s Secret, Sports Illustrated and Vogue Turkey. She also has 2.7 million followers on Instagram, where her posts have been liked by such supermodels as Cindy Crawford and Lily Aldridge. Morrone started acting only recently; as of late 2021, she has just eight acting credits to her name on the Internet Movie Database. Her most notable role so far has been playing a high school senior taking care of her father in the 2019 independent film Mickey and the Bear. That year, she won the Rising Star Award for her performance at the San Diego International Film Festival. At first, she admits her modeling background made her feel a bit bad. “I felt so ashamed of my modeling history when I first got into acting, so I tried to hide that part of my life, because I didn’t want to be looked at as too sexy for a role,” she said in 2019. She realizes people raise their eyebrows at the 23-year gap between and her superstar boyfriend. “I probably would be curiousabout it too,” she admitted in 2019. Still, Morrone thinks, “Anyone should be able to date who they want to date.” She also looks forward to the day when people know her for her work and not who she’s dating. “I understand the association, but I’m confident that will continue to slip away and be less of a conversation,” she’s said.
How did Leonardo DiCaprio meet Camila Morrone?
DiCaprio is rumored to always be looking for love at the Cannes Film Festival, and that’s where he met Morrone in 2017; she was 19 at the time. However, Morrone’s mom has dated Al Pacino, a friend of DiCaprio’s; Morrone refers to him as a stepfather. Us Weekly first wondered publicly if DiCaprio was hooking up with Morrone after they were seen at a Barney’s store in December 2017, and they’ve been together ever since. DiCaprio has even been turned into a meme because he’s now doing one of the most mundane things a boyfriend can do: take pictures for his girlfriend’s social media accounts. He was called an “Instagram boyfriend” after he was seen snapping photos of Morrone in 2019. “I saw the meme,” Morrone later told VanityFair. “Poor thing, he’s being called an Instagram boyfriend. He’s an environmentalist and a movie star and it doesn’t mean a thing!” At first, the couple went to several of the same events separately, but eventually they were photographed together, including Coachella in 2019, the Oscars in 2020 (where they sat together, but didn’t walk the red carpet together) and at an Italian market just before the start of 2021.
Who has Leonardo DiCaprio dated?
Even though he was briefly linked to model Naomi Campbell, it’s not an exaggeration to say that LDC definitely has a type–and that type is a blonde model. He’s dated Bridget Hall, Gisele Bündchen (from 1999 to 2005, on and off), Bar Refaeli (on and off from 2005 to 2011), Kristen Zang and Amber Valletta–all blonde models. He’s also famously dated actress Blake Lively, before she started dating her husband Ryan Reynolds. None of his past partners have said anything terrible about him in public, but it’s rumored that, like many celebrities, he may require non-disclosure agreements from the women he gets involved with.
Did Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio date?
Kate Winsletand DiCaprio played one of the most well-loved couples in cinematic history when they appeared together in the film Titanic, one of the most popular films of all time. Still, some romantics were disappointed that the pairing never turned into a real-life affair and they’ve never dated, despite their insistence that they care for each other very much. They’ve remained very close friends throughout the years. She even asked him to walk her down the aisle when she married again in 2012. “That’s my girl,” he said after watching her talk fondly of him in 2004. “I feel the same way about her. If it wasn’t for her making that film [Titanic], we would have been shrapnel at this point. It was just the toughest film we ever had to make and we were partners together.” In 2009, when she won a Golden Globe acting opposite DiCaprio in the 2009 drama Revolutionary Road, she told him from the stage, “Leo, I’m so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love and how much I’ve loved you for 13 years. And your performance in this film is nothing short of spectacular. I love you with all my heart, I really do.”
Does Leonardo DiCaprio have kids?
He doesn’t and he’s not sure if he wants to. “Do I want to bring children into a world like this?” the actor asked Rolling Stone in 2016. “If it happens, it happens. I’d prefer not to get into specifics about it, just because then it becomes something that is misquoted…. but, yeah. I don’t know.”
Does Leonardo DiCaprio want to get married?
With his dating history, it’s easy to think DiCaprio’s just a player. After all, he was once seen leaving a Miami club with 20 women after a breakup. and back in the 1990s, his group of guy friends was dubbed “the P***y Posse”—a name he can’t stand. “I don’t know where it was coined,” DiCaprio told Rolling Stone in 2000. “I think it’s the most degrading thing toward women I’ve ever heard in my life. I’ve never used that term in my entire life.” For his part, DiCaprio has maintained that his work doesn’t make real relationships easy. “Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or someplace like that is not the best thing for a relationship,” he told The Los Angeles Times in 2013. He also doesn’t seem to be in a great rush to tie the knot, being as noncommittal about marriage as he is about children. “That time will come when that time comes,” he told Parade in 2016. So is Morrone the one? Not if the internet has any say. In 2019, Morrone posted a black and white photo of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, captioning it “a love like this.” Some commenters quickly (and rudely) suggested that it was premature of Morrone to think she’d snagged DiCaprio for good. “You only have a couple more years before he dumps you, girl!” wrote one person, referencing the opinion that DiCaprio doesn’t date women over 25, while another said, “I mean I don’t blame you at all but he does seem to trade them in when they reach 25 but have fun while it lasts.” Morrone responded in a video: “I just read some of the comments on my Instagram and… my God, people are so mean and full of anger with people that they know nothing about.” She added, “I guess I just hope [that[ people learn to live with a little less hatred and place their time and interests elsewhere, because living without hatred feels pretty good.” However, these days, DiCaprio and Morrone seem very happy together. They lived together during quarantine last year and that seems to have brought them closer. “He is usually very independent, spends lots of time with friends, but because of the lockdown, he has mostly spent time with Camila. He loves being with her,” a source explained to PEOPLE.“Leo has spent 24/7 with Camila for months at his house.” Today, the couple seems “solid” and “closer than ever, according to another source. “Leo has been settling into this domestic life with Cami, as opposed to all the time he used to spend out with his boys,” the source told E! News in November 2021. ”He does really like his life with her and they’re a lot more couple-y than they used to be.” Next, See All of the Women George Clooney Dated Before Settling Down with Amal Alamuddin
